DescriptionPGAS, or the partitioned global address space programming model, strikes a balance between the ease of programming due to its global address view and performance and due to locality awareness. The latter can even help in reducing power as data movement is a major contributor to power consumption. Current active PGAS efforts include Chapel, UPC, and X10. However, there are common PGAS problems that must be addressed. The PGAS BOF at SC16 will bring together researchers and practitioners from vendors as well open efforts for cross-fertilization of new ideas and to address common issues and common infrastructures for PGAS.
