Companion data of a Systematic Mapping Study of Programming Languages for Data-Intensive HPC Applications (Q6705163)

As the current existing literature on the topic of HPC is very dispersed, we performed a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) in the context of the European COST Action cHiPSet. This literature study maps characteristics of various programming languages for data-intensive HPC applications, including category, typical user profiles, effectiveness, and type of articles. We organised the SMS in two phases. In the first phase, relevant articles are identified employing an automated keyword-based search in eight digital libraries. This lead to an initial sample of 420 papers, which was then narrowed down in a second phase by human inspection of article abstracts, titles and keywords to 152 relevant articles published in the period 2006--2018. The analysis of these articles enabled us to identify 26 programming languages referred to in 33 of relevant articles. This document is the data companion for a paper published elsewhere and presents a detailed list of the selected papers. Besides, the document also presents the formof our questionnaire-based survey. We also include the filled in questionnaires and raw data of the referred survey. To validate the SMS resultswe conducted a survey (in November 2018) with 28 HPC experts involved in the cHiPSet COST actionto which we added, in October 2019, 29 HPC experts which were not involved in that COST action. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling, and contacted directly by the authors. In total, we received 57 filled survey forms.
