Abstract

High performance and scientific computing take advantage of high-end and high-spec computer architectures. As these architectures evolve, and new architectures are created, applications may be able to run at greater and greater speeds. These changes persent challenges to implementors who wish to take advantage of the newest features and machines. Portability layers such as RAJA and Agency seek to abstract away machine-specific details and allow scientists to take advantage of new features as they become available. We enhance RAJA with a lower-level framework, Agency, to determine if these layered abstractions provide performance or maintainability benefits.

This thesis is restricted to the Claremont Colleges current faculty, students, and staff.
