Software

Members of our Future Technologies group are actively involved in software development. Over the years, we have developed or made sizable contributions to the following software packages:

Programming Models, System Software

  1. ARMCI - Aggregate Remote Memory Copy (ARMCI) library is to provide a general-purpose, efficient, and widely portable remote memory access (RMA) operations (one-sided communication) optimized for contiguous and noncontiguous (strided, scatter/gather, I/O vector) data transfers - Vinod Tipparaju - home page
