Notice of Virtual Workshop on Software in the Era of Extreme 
Heterogeneity

AGENCY: Networking and Information Technology Research and Development 
(NITRD) National Coordination Office, National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Notice of virtual workshop.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The workshop on ``Software in the Era of Extreme 
Heterogeneity'' will explore challenges and opportunities brought on by 
extreme heterogeneity of emerging and future computational platforms 
and how software and community must evolve to respond to the challenges 
being placed on high-end computing software development and 
sustainment.

DATES: September 22--24, 2020.

ADDRESSES: The workshop on ``Software in the Era of Extreme 
Heterogeneity'' will be held virtually.
    Instructions: Participation is by invitation only; limited number 
of virtual seats are available to observers. These virtual seats 
require registration and are available on a first come, first served 
basis. The registration link will be published on the workshop website 
the week before the event. For more information on the agenda, 
registration, and remote participation, please see the workshop

time, Monday through Friday.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Overview. This notice is issued on behalf of 
the NITRD National Coordination Office. The agencies of NITRD High End 
Computing and Software Productivity, Stainability, and Quality 
Interagency Working Groups are jointly conducting a workshop focused on 
the software challenges of extreme heterogeneity. Experts from 
government, academia, and the private industry will discuss the 
software development and sustainment challenges and opportunities in 
extreme heterogeneity, including how productivity can be augmented in 
the emerging heterogeneous computing environment, workforce requirement 
needed to support and develop software, reducing human challenges of 
software development, evolution, and porting. The workshop will be held 
virtually on September 22-24, 2020 from 11 a.m. (ET) to 4:10 p.m. (ET).
    Goal. Experts from government, academia, and the private industry
