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.
