Michael Wolfe, at PGI, writes about programming standards for the next generation of HPC systems. Having just returned from SC13, one burning issue is the choice of a standard approach for programming the next generation HPC systems. While not guaranteed, these systems are likely to be large clusters of nodes [...]
