Legion: Programming Heterogeneous, Distributed Parallel Machines
Speaker: Alex Aiken
Speaker Affiliation: Stanford University
Host: Adam Chlipala
Host Affiliation: CSAIL

Date: Friday, April 17, 2015
Time:  4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
Refreshments Time: 4:00 PM
Location: <a href="/rooms/32-D463">Seminar Room 32-D463 (Star)</a>

Programmers tend to think of parallel programming as a problem of
dividing up computation, but often the most difficult part is the placement
and movement of data, especially in heterogeneous, distributed machines
with deep memory hierarchies. Legion is a programming model and runtime
system for describing hierarchical organizations of both data and
computation
at an abstract level. A separate mapping interface allows programmers to
control how
data and computation are placed onto the actual memories and processors
of a specific machine.  This talk will present the design of Legion, the
novel issues that arise in both the design and in our implementation, and
experience with applications, including S3D, a turbulent combustion
simulation.
