General Runtime/Architecture for Many-core Parallel Systems (GRAMPS)

The era of obtaining increased performance via faster single cores and optimized single-thread programs is over. Instead, a major factor in new processors’ performance comes from parallelism: increasing numbers of cores per processor and threads per core. In both research and industry, runtime systems, domain-specific languages, and more generally, parallel programming models, have become the tools to realize this performance and contain this complexity.
