EASC2016 - Exascale Applications and Software Conference 2016
https://www.pdc.kth.se/easc2016
April 26-29, 2016
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 and implementing applications running
efficiently at large scale on exascale platforms involves developers of
application, libraries, programming models and system software.

The aim of this conference is to bring together developers from different
application fields to present the problems they face on the road to
exascale, their approach to solve these challenges and to share their
experience gained during the petascale period.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Design, implementation and optimization of applications for exascale,
including:

   - Computational Fluid Dynamics
   - Weather Forecast
   - Neuroinformatics
   - Medical Applications
   - Bioinformatics
   - Material Science
   - Particle Physics
   - Quantum Mechanics
   - Geophysics
   - Fusion, Space and Astrophysical plasmas
   - Reactor Physics
   - Finance
   - Oil and Gas Source Identification
   - Molecular Dynamics
   - Montecarlo Methods
   - Spectral Methods
   - Linear and Non-linear Systems
   - Numerical Libraries
   - Mini-applications and Benchmarks
   - Data Analytics of Large Data-sets
   - Visualization

- Innovative algorithms for collective operations, for reducing
communication/synchronization, for mixed precision calculations
- Porting and optimization of applications on systems with accelerators
- New concepts in MPI and PGAS communication libraries
- Innovative parallel programming models, run-time and auto-tuning systems
- Simulation of parallel applications on exascale machines
- Performance monitoring tools
- Debuggers and correctness checkers
