HARPPIE: Hyper algorithmic recipe for productive parallelism intensive endeavors

Over the last few years, Parallelism has been gaining increasing importance and multicore processing is now common. Massification of parallelism is driving research and development of novel techniques to overcome current limits of Parallel Computing. However, the scope of parallelization research focuses mainly on ever-increasing performance and much still remains to be accomplished regarding improving productivity in the development of parallel software. This PhD research aims to develop methods and tools to dilute parallel programming complexity and enable nonexpert programmer to fully benefit from a new generation of parallelism-driven programming platforms. Although much work remains to be done to reduce the skill requirements for parallel programming to become within reach of medium-skill programming workforces, it is our belief that this research will help bridge that gap.
