Stacks breakout session • Why new stacks as a research proposition? • Existing stack imposes obstacles to parallelism. “Only heroic programmers can exploit the vast parallelism in today’s machines” - suggests need for cross layer improvement • Diversity • Performance vs ease of programming (productivity) • Explore alternatives • Security guarantees • Coherent guidance: generalist leadership • How to do it? Proposer should be as specific as possible: • How bad are the obstacles and how well can they improve • The ability to reason analytically • How to measure progress across levels. • Advancing degrees of freedoms across layers that will allow better automatic tuning • Non-vendor have greater flexibility, since not tied by strict backwards compatibility
