DescriptionExtreme heterogeneity is the result of using multiple types of processors, accelerators, memory and storage in a single computing platform or environment that must support an expanding variety of application workflows to meet the needs of increasingly heterogeneous users. Extremely heterogeneous supercomputers are likely be acquired by the ASCR-supported supercomputing facilities as we reach the end of Moore’s Law while still facing rapidly increasing computational and data intensive requirements. The exponential increase in system complexity will make it essential for system administrators and software developers to have new tools that help them understand the behavior of extremely heterogeneous supercomputing environments and the applications that run in them. The vast bandwidth of visual perception makes the combination of visualization and performance analysis essential.
