Keynote II: Integrated modeling challenges in extreme-scale computing

Summary form only given. Extreme-scale computer systems of the future target orders of magnitude improvement in performance over current large-scale server or supercomputing systems. These targets must be achieved for the same power consumption and reliability at the system level. Accomplishing the goal requires investment in new generation integrated pre-silicon modeling environments that allow rapid exploration of power, performance and reliability tradeoffs. In this talk, I present an overview of the alluded modeling challenges and methods of hierarchical abstractions to ease the pre-silicon simulation bottleneck.
