***  SUBMISSIONS DUE: August 7, 2014 (Extended & Final Deadline  ***

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

The Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions are among the most interactive,
diverse, popular, and well-attended sessions of the SC Conference
Series. We invite submissions from the SC community to continue in this
highly-valued, community-led portion of the SC program.

The BoF sessions provide a non-commercial, dynamic venue for Conference
attendees to openly discuss current topics of focused mutual interest
within the HPC community with a strong emphasis on audience-driven
discussion, professional networking and grassroots participation. SC14 will
continue this tradition with a full schedule of exciting, informal,
interactive sessions focused round a variety of special topics of mutual
interest.

BoF sessions are an excellent opportunity to connect and interact with
other attendees with whom you share a mutual interest. SC14 will feature
BoF sessions about many HPC-related topics such as accelerators,
programming models, big-data, and education.
