Event-based parallel computing - partially ordered event-triggered systems: final report for EPSRC Programme Grant EP/N031768/1

Abstract

The final meeting of the Advisory Board for the EPSRC programme grant Event-based parallel computing - partially ordered event-triggered systems (POETS) will take place on 21st October 2022. The Advisory Board has been set up in fulfilment of an EPSRC requirement; we welcome the opportunity to receive external perspectives on the aims, ambitions and execution of this research, and to reflect upon the outcomes of our efforts.

COVID was disruptive, as it was for most activities, but POETS probably suffered less than its peers. With the exception of the hardware activities at Cambridge, most staff were able to work remotely.

The big loss was the outreach and publicity program; for two years, the POETS team attended almost no meetings, nor gave any external seminars. We are grateful to EPSRC for allowing us to vire the resources allocated for this to other ends, most notably the acquisition of more compute hardware.

The previous Advisory Board report outlined the underlying technology and aspirations of the project; here we build on this, and further, we outline where we hope to take the technology in the future.
