In addition to the main conference's technical program, EuroMPI/ASIA
2014 is soliciting proposals for one-day or half-day workshops to be
held in conjunction with the main conference.  It is intended that
those workshops are aim to discuss on ongoing work and latest ideas
related to applications with message passing paradigms.
The Call for Papers will be separately announced and also shown in the
conference page.


BACKGROUND AND TOPICS
---------------------
EuroMPI is the preeminent meeting for users, developers and
researchers to interact and discuss new developments and applications
of message-passing parallel computing, in particular in and related to
the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The annual meeting has a long,
rich tradition, and has been held in European countries.  In the 21st
EuroMPI, the conference venue is at Kyoto, Japan, outside of Europe.
 Following past meetings, EuroMPI/ASIA 2014 will continue to focus
on not just MPI, but also extensions or alternative interfaces for
high-performance homogeneous/heterogeneous/hybrid systems, benchmarks,
tools, parallel I/O, fault tolerance, and parallel applications using
MPI and other interfaces.  Through the presentation of contributed
papers, poster presentations and invited talks, attendees will have
the opportunity to share ideas and experiences to contribute to the
improvement and furthering of message-passing and related parallel
programming paradigms.

production. They will be required to closely cooperate with the
Workshops Chairs and the EuroMPI 2014 local organizers to finalize all
organizational details.
