| Description | We invented and demonstrated a new technique to understand the behaviour of legacy parallel programs. Legacy programs are those written previously, which may now require significant adaptation to make them perform well on new hardware. Our approach offers a new insight into this challenge, which offers developers and maintainers of parallel software a faster route to ongoing performance portability, as hardware evolves. |
| Exploitation Route | Our approach could be developed to induustrial strenth robustness, and expanded to cover new patterns of parallelism. |
