The document discusses the development and challenges of automatic application tuning (AT) for high-performance computing (HPC) architectures, focusing on the ppopen-hpc and ppopen-at projects at the University of Tokyo. Key topics include the need for performance portability across different computer environments, the importance of run-time information, and the adaptation of AT to enhance scientific applications like seismic wave analysis. Future directions emphasize the standardization of AT functions and the establishment of support for supercomputers in operation.
