Apollo

The Apollo project is done.

After 5-6 months, it’s over. We’ve implemented the following features:

• A visualization tool with lots of graphs.
• Multi region shared memory.
• HDF5 checkpointing (works with Multi region).
• A generator of synthetic populations (whose performance was drastically improved during the project).
• A library for multithreaded programming, giving the user the choice to use TBB or OpenMP.

However, we’ve failed to implement some features:

• Multi region MPI: We were very close to a solution. The reason this part is delayed, is because MPI consists of very old C code.
• The performance report concerning multithreading: We gave Multi region MPI priority over this.
• Paraview: Due to the inability to compile Paraview, we couldn’t work on this feature.

We hope our efforts will help the Stride project in its future endeavours.

Sincerely, The Apollo Team
