DOE 2000 PI Retreat, 3/8-10/99, M2 report out Slide#2 DOE2000 Directions - M2 group Process First we discussed (for 8 hours...) –Program structure, technical goals –Challenges –Current program issues –DOE 2000 added value –Generally exchanged information, philosophies Then we finally answered A, B, & C

DOE 2000 PI Retreat, 3/8-10/99, M2 report out Slide#3 High-level priorities Promote interoperability/component specifications (e.g., CCA) Preserve unique DOE2k approach to complement SSI Identify new opportunities to exploit our approach to software development

DOE 2000 PI Retreat, 3/8-10/99, M2 report out Slide#4 Priorities for program structure Projects must be well defined Finite-time development cycle Follow-on funding for maintenance of successful projects Develop process for distributing DOE software Open source ( Uniform practice for DOE2k

DOE 2000 PI Retreat, 3/8-10/99, M2 report out Slide#5 DOE 2k project selection criteria Enhance software tools to be: Interoperable Portable Reusable Multi-application Highly leveragable High performance on parallel architecture
