This project is funded by Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) which seeks to harness the power of open-source development for the creation of new technology solutions to problems of national and societal importance. The goal of this POSE project is to scope an open-source ecosystem (OSE) for OpenCilk, a new task-parallel, fully open-source platform for programming multicore computers, the dominant architecture for computing today. The recent demise of Moore's Law and the impending end to the miniaturization of semiconductor circuitry have ended semiconductor technology's virtual monopoly on growing computing performance. OpenCilk is a key technology for multicore performance engineering - developing fast code for applications that run on commodity and cloud multicore computers - giving application developers a powerful alternative source for performance. The project's novelties include pursuing an academic-first strategy for developing an OpenCilk OSE by focusing on winning the hearts and minds of academic researchers, educators, and students who are not well served by existing task-parallel programming platforms. Among the project's impacts are the creation of an effective strategy for expanding the set of OpenCilk users and contributors, for building an academic community for performance engineering, and for providing teaching materials for performance engineering using OpenCilk. The broader impacts of the project are to enable the newly created performance-engineering community to improve modern performance-critical applications ~W including machine learning, simulation of physical phenomena, and computer security - which are national strategic priorities. OpenCilk's adoption market is constituted largely from the following segments: (1) nonacademic software developers who are mostly from industry; (2) researchers developing task-parallel programming technology and applications; (3) educators teaching parallel computing and software performance engineering; and (4) students who take their classes. The mission of OpenCilk is to make it easy for developers to write fast and correct multicore code, for researchers to pioneer technologies that empower developers, and for educators to teach and students to learn software performance engineering. To that end, OpenCilk abides by the following guiding principles: - The language should be simple and easy to reason about. - Bugs should be easy to reliably discover and diagnose. - Parallel performance should be scalable, composable, and backed by simple mathematical guarantees. - The system should be open source and easy to use, teach with, modify, and extend.This OSE project is experimenting with strategies for outbound, inbound, and peer networking to identify and engage potential OpenCilk users and contributors in academia. Once an academic niche has been established, the OpenCilk OSE being scoped can evolve to address the entire market, which includes commercial developers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的资助是由促进开源生态系统（POSE）的途径资助的，该开源生态系统旨在利用开源开发的力量来为国家和社会重要性问题创建新技术解决方案。 这个姿势项目的目的是为Opencek范围内开源生态系统（OPCINEK），这是一个新的任务 - 并行，完全开放式电源平台，用于编程Multicore Computers，这是当今计算的主要体系结构。摩尔定律最近的灭亡以及半导体电路小型化的即将结束的结束，结束了半导体技术在不断增强的计算性能方面的虚拟垄断。 Opencilk是多项绩效工程的关键技术 - 为在商品和云多核算计算机上运行的应用程序开发快速代码 - 为应用程序开发人员提供了强大的性能替代源。该项目的新颖性包括通过专注于赢得现有任务并行编程平台服务的学术研究人员，教育工作者和学生的心灵来赢得学术研究人员和思想，以追求一项学术上的战略来开发Opencilk Ose。该项目的影响之一是创建一种有效的策略，以扩大Op -Citemk用户和贡献者的集合，为绩效工程建立学术界，并为使用Opcilenk提供绩效工程的教学材料。该项目的更广泛的影响是使新创建的绩效工程社区能够改善现代性能至关重要的应用程序，包括机器学习，对物理现象的仿真和计算机安全，这是国家战略优先事项。 Opencek的收养市场主要构成以下部分：（1）主要来自行业的非学术软件开发人员； （2）开发任务并行编程技术和应用的研究人员； （3）教育工作者教授并行计算和软件性能工程； （4）上课的学生。 Op -Citek的使命是使开发人员可以轻松编写快速和纠正的多核代码，以使研究人员使用赋予开发人员权力的先驱技术，以及教育工作者教育和学生学习软件性能工程。为此，Opencek遵守以下指导原则： - 语言应该简单易于推理。 - 错误应该易于可靠发现和诊断。 - 并行性能应可扩展，合成，并以简单的数学保证为支持。 - 该系统应是开源，易于使用，教学，修改和扩展。此OSE项目正在尝试使用出站，入站和同行网络的策略，以识别和吸引学术界潜在的OPINEK用户和贡献者。一旦建立了学术利基市场，范围内的Opencek ose可以发展以解决整个市场，其中包括商业开发人员。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估来评估的审查标准。
