To better understand the launching process, we conducted a simple case study. Based in part on this study and an examination of existing toolkits, we have begun to develop a prototype environment to support HPC application launching. %B Proceedings of the second international workshop on Software engineering for high performance computing system applications %S SE-HPCS '05 %I ACM %C New York, NY, USA %P 45 - 49 %8 2005/// %@ 1-59593-117-1 %G eng %U http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1145319.1145333 %R 10.1145/1145319.1145333
