The ANTAREX project developed an approach to the performance tuning of High Performance applications based on an Aspect-oriented Domain Specific Language (DSL), with the goal to simplify the enforcement of extra-functional properties in large scale applications. The project aims at demonstrating its tools and techniques on two relevant use cases, one in the domain of computational drug discovery, the other in the domain of online vehicle navigation. In this paper, we present an overview of the project and of its main achievements, as well as of the large scale experiments that have been planned to validate the approach.
