Abstract

Usually, scientific applications outlive the lifespan of the High Performance Computing (HPC) systems for which they are initially developed. The innovations in the HPC systems’ hardware and parallel programming standards drive the modernization of HPC applications so that they continue being performant. While such code modernization efforts may not be challenging for HPC experts and well-funded research groups, many domain-experts and students may find it challenging to adapt their applications for the latest HPC systems due to lack of expertise, time, and funds. The challenges of such domain-experts and students can be mitigated by providing them high-level tools for code modernization and migration. A brief overview of two such high-level tools is presented in this chapter. These tools support the code modernization and migration efforts by assisting users in parallelizing their applications and porting them to HPC systems with high-bandwidth memory. The tools are named as: Interactive Parallelization Tool (IPT) and Interactive Code Adaptation Tool (ICAT). Such high-level tools not only improve the productivity of their users and the performance of the applications but they also improve the utilization of HPC resources.
