In the modern era of high-performance computing, the term “Performance Portability” elicits a wide range of reactions… and a wide range of definitions. At their heart, the terms Performance and Portability are somewhat adversarial— or at the very least exist on independent axes. For the purposes of this panel, we’ll define Performance Portability as “the ability to run a mostly-single-source code mostly-efficiently most of the time on most computer architectures” and attempt to better understand expert perspectives on the topic.
