Domain Project

All those interested in learning about our ongoing efforts in the Domain project are invited to attend a public seminar that will be held at the IASI headquarters on March 12, 2025. The seminar, entitled “A Software Ecosystem to Support the Development of Domain-specific Applications on Heterogeneous Architectures,” will be presented by Simone Bauco and is part of the yes@iasi seminar series.

You can also follow the streaming of the seminar on youtube.

Seminar Abstract

The rise of heterogeneous computing architectures has significantly advanced the capabilities of high-performance concurrent applications. However, the design of applications for these architectures requires ICT application experts to have a deep understanding of hardware aspects and often their related optimisation strategies. As a consequence, the effort in the development phase is strongly influenced by intricate technical hindrances rather than focusing on domain-specific issues. This work presents Domain, a software ecosystem that supports ICT experts in taming the complexity of modern hardware architectures. Specifically, Domain identifies a comprehensive socio-technical environment where classes of stakeholders cooperate in order to support the development of software applications for heterogeneous computing environments. Also, Domain proposes families of software assets that promote the adoption of domain-specific notations, their automatic refinement up to the generation of hardware-specific binaries, and the optimised execution of such binaries on the target hardware resources
