Today's society is increasingly software-driven and dependent on powerful computer technology. Therefore it is important that advancements in the low-level processor hardware are made available for exploitation by a growing number of programmers of differing skill level. However, as we are approaching the end of Moore's law, hardware designers are finding new and increasingly complex ways to increase the accessible processor performance. It is getting more and more difficult to effectively target these processing resources without expert knowledge in parallelization, heterogeneous computation, communication, synchronization, and so on. To ensure that the software side can keep up, advanced programming environments and frameworks are needed to bridge the widening gap between hardware and software. One such example is the pattern-centric skeleton programming model and in particular the SkePU project. The work presented in this thesis first redesigns the SkePU framework based on modern C++ variadic template metaprogramming and state-of-the-art compiler technology. It then explores new ways to improve performance: by providing new patterns, improving the data access locality of existing ones, and using both static and dynamic knowledge about program flow. The work combines novel ideas with practical evaluation of the approach on several applications. The advancements also include the first skeleton API that allows variadic skeletons, new data containers, and finally an approach to make skeleton programming more customizable without compromising universal portability.

In the presence of data and computational resources, machine learning can be used to synthesize software automatically. For example, machines are now capable of learning complicated pattern recognition tasks and sophisticated decision policies, two key capabilities in autonomous cyber-physical systems. Unfortunately, humans find software synthesized by machine learning algorithms difficult to interpret, which currently limits their use in safety-critical applications such as medical diagnosis and avionic systems. In particular, successful deployments of safety-critical systems mandate the execution of rigorous verification activities, which often rely on human insights, e.g., to identify scenarios in which the system shall be tested. A natural pathway towards a viable verification strategy for such systems is to leverage formal verification techniques, which, in the presence of a formal specification, can provide definitive guarantees with little human intervention. However, formal verification suffers from scalability issues with respect to system complexity. In this thesis, we investigate the limits of current formal verification techniques when applied to a class of machine learning models called tree ensembles, and identify model-specific characteristics that can be exploited to improve the performance of verification algorithms when applied specifically to tree ensembles. To this end, we develop two formal verification techniques specifically for tree ensembles, one fast and conservative technique, and one exact but more computationally demanding. We then combine these two techniques into an abstraction-refinement approach, that we implement in a tool called VoTE (Verifier of Tree Ensembles). Using a couple of case studies, we recognize that sets of inputs that lead to the same system behavior can be captured precisely as hyperrectangles, which enables tractable enumeration of input-output mappings when the input dimension is low. Tree ensembles with a high-dimensional input domain, however, seems generally difficult to verify. In some cases though, conservative approximations of input-output mappings can greatly improve performance. This is demonstrated in a digit recognition case study, where we assess the robustness of classifiers when confronted with additive noise.

Patterns and Skeletons for Parallel and Distributed Computing is a unique survey of research work in high-level parallel and distributed computing over the past ten years. Comprising contributions from the leading researchers in Europe and the US, it looks at interaction patterns and their role in parallel and distributed processing, and demonstrates for the first time the link between skeletons and design patterns. It focuses on computation and communication structures that are beyond simple message-passing or remote procedure calling, and also on pragmatic approaches that lead to practical design and programming methodologies with their associated compilers and tools. The book is divided into two parts which cover: skeletons-related material such as expressing and composing skeletons, formal transformation, cost modelling and languages, compilers and run-time systems for skeleton-based programming.- design patterns and other related concepts, applied to other areas such as real-time, embedded and distributed systems. It will be an essential reference for researchers undertaking new projects in this area, and will also provide useful background reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses on parallel or distributed system design.

Single processing units have now reached a point where further major improvements in their performance are restricted by their physical limitations. This is causing a slowing down in advances at the same time as new scientific challenges are demanding exascale speed. This has meant that parallel processing has become key to High Performance Computing (HPC). This book contains the proceedings of the 14th biennial ParCo conference, ParCo2011, held in Ghent, Belgium. The ParCo conferences have traditionally concentrated on three main themes: Algorithms, Architectures and Applications. Nowadays though, the focus has shifted from traditional multiprocessor topologies to heterogeneous and manycores, incorporating standard CPUs, GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). These platforms are, at a higher abstraction level, integrated in clusters, grids and clouds. The papers presented here reflect this change of focus. New architectures, programming tools and techniques are also explored, and the need for exascale hardware and software was also discussed in the industrial session of the conference.This book will be of interest to all those interested in parallel computing today, and progress towards the exascale computing of tomorrow.
