System Software Development for Post K and Post T2K

Yutaka Ishikawa
Seminar

The post K computer is the successor of K computer, that will be the next Japanese flagship machine, being developed by RIKEN. It will be operated from 2020. The post T2K computer, whose peak performance will be about 30 PF, is being designed under the joint project of two universities, Tsukuba and Tokyo, and will be operated from 2016. Both two supercomputers are based on many core CPU architectures. We have been designing and developing a part of the system software stack, i.e., a parallel programming environment, an operating system, file I/O, and a communication facility, for both Post T2K and Post K supercomputers. In this talk, after introducing two projects, our software development packages, such as OS kernel, file I/O, and communication libraries will be given.
