Linux Foundation Announces High-Performance Software Foundation
Summary
Through a series of technical projects, HPSF aims to build and advance a portable core software stack for high-performance computing (HPC) by increasing adoption and supporting development efforts. HPSF will provide a neutral space for pivotal projects in the HPC ecosystem, enabling industry, academia, and government entities to collaborate on the scientific software stack. HPSF will set up a technical advisory committee (TAC) to manage working groups tackling a variety of HPC topics. Drawing from member organizations and community participants, the TAC will follow a governance model based on the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The HPSF is launching with the following initial open source technical projects: • Kokkos: a performance-portable programming model for writing modern C++ applications in a hardware-agnostic way.
