[William Scullin]

Call for Papers

==============================================================================
Python for High Performance and Scientific Computing (PyHPC 2013) Workshop
November 18, 2013, Denver, USA
in conjunction with the IEEE/ACM International Conference for High
Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC13)
http://www.dlr.de/sc/pyhpc2013
==============================================================================


Introduction
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Python is an established, general-purpose, high-level programming
language with a large following in research and industry for
applications in fields including computational fluid dynamics,
finance, biomolecular simulation, artificial intelligence, statistics,
data analysis, scientific visualization, and systems management. The
use of Python in scientific, high performance parallel, big data, and
distributed computing roles has been on the rise with the community
providing new and innovative solutions while preserving Python’s
famously clean syntax, low learning curve, portability, and ease of
use.

The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners from
industry, academia, and the wider community using Python in all
aspects of high performance and scientific computing. The goals are to
present Python applications from mathematics, science, and
engineering; discuss general topics regarding the use of Python - such
as language design and performance issues; and to share experience
using Python in scientific computing education.


Topics
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please submit papers related to Python usage in any of the following
topics and application areas as well as on broader topics in business,
science, technology, engineering, education, mathematics or
multidisciplinary topics.

* High performance computing with Python
* Performance analysis, profiling, and debugging of Python code
* System administration
* Integration with other programming languages
* Scientific visualization
* Problem solving environments and frameworks
* Education in scientific computing
* Computational finance applications
* Health and biosciences applications
* Big data and data analytics
* Image processing


Papers/Submission
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We invite you to submit a paper of up to 10 pages via the submission
site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pyhpc2013). All
papers will be published published as a part of the SC13 digital
proceedings. These are IEEE digital library proceedings that will be
available online. The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and
appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no
page limit. The formatting instructions are available here:
