Presentation of the Team

The INRIA RUNTIME team takes place in the high-performance and exa-scale parallel computing domain. It is interested in the study and design as well as the development and evaluation of the principles that will be at the hearth of tomorrow's parallel runtime systems. More precisely, we intend to define, implement and validate a family of generic runtime systems that will provide a flexible and efficient foundation for building programming environments and applications in the intensive parallel computing field. These runtime systems will have to enable an efficient use of the large, heterogeneous and hierarchical clusters, based on NUMA and/or multicore nodes, even with accelerators such as GPUs.

A more detailed presentation of our research areas can be found in the team's activity report for the year 2008.

RUNTIME is headed by Professor Raymond Namyst. For a full list of members, see here.
