Providing Infrastructure and Domain-Specific Solutions for Scalable High-Performance Scientific Applications

The Programming Models (PM) Team is part of the Applied Computer Science Group (CCS-7) in the Computing, Computational and Statistical Sciences Division (CCS) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. 

Led by Pat McCormick, the PM Team is a diverse team spanning a range of research capabilities from programming models and programming languages to systems software and utilization of advanced architectures.  

The team works on research projects where they can enable science that requires extreme-scale computers and may involve extreme-scale datasets. They often specialize in novel computing techniques applied to the hardware-software boundary such as compilers and GPU acceleration of programs.
