SUMMARY:The Role of Software Platforms in Supporting Scientific Software C
 ommunities
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nMichael A. Heroux (Sandia National Laboratori
 es, St. John's University)\n\nSoftware platforms provide many services to 
 developers and users. Designed and implemented well, they promote better, 
 faster, and lower-cost development of software products, and provide users
  with a diverse range of access methods, user support, and ease of use. Fu
 rthermore, software platforms provide community gathering opportunities fo
 r users, developers, sponsors, supporters, and those who are considering e
 ngagement. In this presentation, we talk about scientific software platfor
 ms for scientific libraries and tools. Specifically, we talk about our eff
 orts on the United States Department of Energy Exascale Computing Project 
 to produce a three-tier software ecosystem. The first tier is the collecti
 on of individual products; the next tier is a collection of product commun
 ities that collaborate in the development of related products; the final t
 ier is the complete software stack needed for supporting application teams
 . We talk about the platform design principles of each tier and draw concr
 ete examples from the Trilinos Project, a collection of scientific librari
 es and tools for parallel distributed memory applications; the Extreme-sca
 le Scientific Software Stack (xSDK), a math libraries product community; a
 nd the Extreme-Scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S), a comprehensive coll
 ection of scientific libraries and tools that support users from laptops t
 o the very latest leadership computing systems.\n\nDomain: Applied Social 
 Sciences and Humanities\n\nSession Chair: Michael A. Heroux (Sandia Nation
 al Laboratories, St. John's University)
