Introduction

The common goal of the AlGorille team is to close up the gap between the modeling of large scale applications for the resolution of the corresponding challenging issues and their verification and testing through scientific experiments. Inside this large spectrum of scientific activities, it is often easier to reduce the scope of considerations and consider other parts as “providers” that help for the resolution of specific problems instead of viewing the progress of the modeling-development-experiment infrastructure as a whole. In contrast, our team composition gives us a unique chance of fertilization through the mutual feedback that the different parts can give to each other.

Both ends have already made substantial progress: on the application modeling side we are able to describe data and task dependencies that lead to efficient and consistent executions. On the experimenting side we are able to implement a large variety of models and frameworks (e.g MPI), to test and benchmark them through intensive and accurate simulations, emulations and in situ experiments.
