It is anticipated that in the near future researchers will have access to HPC systems capable of delivering sustained performance in excess of one petaflop/s. Furthermore, highest end production systems are expected to consist of tens of thousands to a few hundred thousand processors, with each processor containing multiple cores, each core capable of executing multiple threads, and arithmetic units that support small vector instructions. Developing applications for these machines is a large challenge that is being addressed by the NSF PetaApps program. The NSF PetaApps program has grown to support over 40 projects that will enable researchers to capitalize on these emerging petascale-computing architectures and catalyze progress in science and engineering beyond the current state-of-the-art. In this BOF we intend to provide a forum for all engaged or interested in this activity to share successes and challenges so that the community can move forward to efficiently using these resources.
