The LBNL Future Technologies Group (FTG) is a research group with projects in the following areas: operating systems for petascale systems, parallel programming models and compilers, performance modeling, and performance evaluation of parallel systems. The overarching goal of the group is to enable computational science through the design and development of hardware and software systems that allow application scientists to more effectively use high end machines. As such, members of FTG work closely with application scientists throughout the DOE Office of Science community (e.g., climate modeling, astrophysics, fusion simulation, life sciences and nanoscience), with faculty and students from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Department at U.C. Berkeley, and with the NERSC production computing facility. Group members have access to leading-edge production computing platforms as well as hardware prototypes of experimental systems. FTG members have a strong history of publications in top journals and conferences and have developed software systems that are broadly used outside the group. Current FTG projects include: the UPC language and compiler project, the APEX-Map benchmarking project, ultra-scale performance evaluation projects, and FastOS Operating System projects.
