Call for Abstracts

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EASC2014 - Exascale Applications and Software Conference 2014

http://www.pdc.kth.se/easc2014

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

April 2-3, 2014

Stockholm, Sweden

===================================================

Exascale computing power will likely be reached in the next decade. While
the precise system architectures are still evolving, one can safely assume
that they will be largely based on deep hierarchies of multicore CPUs with
similarly-deep memory hierarchies, potentially also supported by
accelerators. The challenge of designing, implementing, monitoring existing
and new applications running efficiently at large scale on these platforms
involves application, numerical library, programming, development
environment developers.

The aim of this conference is to bring together all the developers and
researchers involved in solving the software challenges of the exascale
era. The conference focuses on issues of applications for exascale and the
associated tools, software programming models and libraries.


Topics of interest (but are not limited to)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Design, implementation and optimization of applications for exascale

* Large-scale simulations on petascale supercomputers

* Implementation of disruptive algorithms in applications

* Implementation of energy-efficient algorithms in applications

* Performance monitoring tools

* Debuggers and correctness checkers

* Auto-tuning frameworks

* Run-time systems

* Parallel communication libraries

* Parallel numerical libraries

* Porting and optimization of application/numerical libraries on hybrid
architectures

* Parallel pre- and post-processing tools


Abstract Submission and Presentation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authors are invited to submit original research and experience in all areas
associated with developing applications for exascale and the associated
tools, software programming models and libraries. Accepted abstracts will
be presented at the EASC2014 conference.

There are two abstract submission categories:

- Hot topic abstract. Submission of an extended abstract up to two pages at
10pt font. These submissions target work-in-progress research. If accepted,
the submission will be presented as a talk at the EASC2014 conference.

- Poster. Submission of an abstract up to one page at 10pt font.

All abstracts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality,
technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest
and relevance to the conference attendees.  At least one author of an
accepted abstract must register for and attend the conference. Abstracts
should be submitted electronically at: <
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=easc2014>.
