Abstract

This chapter discusses runtime adaption techniques targeting high-performance computing applications. In order to exploit the capabilities of modern high-end computing systems, applications and system software have to be able to adapt their behavior to hardware and application characteristics. Using the Abstract Data and Communication Library (ADCL) as the driving example, the chapter shows the advantage of using adaptive techniques to exploit characteristics of the network and of the application. This allows to reduce the execution time of applications significantly and to avoid having to maintain different architecture dependent versions of the source code.
