The main focus will be on extending the GA programming model to post-petascale architectures but other topics, including the addition of desirable features relevant for programming on existing platforms will also be entertained. The discussion will focus on addressing bottlenecks to scalability, including fault tolerance, data consistency in one-sided communication models, and flexible distributed data structures. The session format will be geared towards informal discussion and will invite extensive input from session attendees. The session leaders will provide a brief overview of the GA programming model and then discuss issues associated with extending the GA programming model to the next generation of computers and current plans to deal with them. The session will then be opened up for discussion and comments by session participants. SUMMARY:New Developments in the Global Arrays Programming Model PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
