Application Porting from External Developers

Abstract

Different developers outside the project or applications not initially considered in it have been identified and addressed in order to assess how the MPI/SMPSs model could be used in those cases. Different levels of depth have been actually been carried out, and in some of the cases only a part of the application was targeted. The study mostly focused on widening the identification of methodological issues and feedback on the suitability of the model and the functionality of its implementations. This deliverable reports on the experience with 6 apps/codes: Hydro, GROMACS, GADGET, CP2K, MRGENESIS and ShallowWaters. Very interesting feedback has been obtained addressing both methodological programming practices and the characteristics of the SMPSs/OmpSs model and implementation.
