ABSTRACT:

This has been a productive year for the OpenSHMEM community with the release of OpenSHMEM 1.2 and OpenSHMEM 1.3 (expected to be released at SC15), and much of this progress resulted from discussions at the SC14 OpenSHMEM BoF. Besides specification development, the OpenSHMEM ecosystem has expanded further this year with new implementations and tools. In addition to presenting these updates, the objectives of this BoF are to gather from the audience priorities for evolving the OpenSHMEM specification and to explore ideas for improving OpenSHMEM programmer productivity.
