[hpc-announce] CFP: PDSEC-16 workshop (with IPDPS-16)

(apologies for cross-postings)

DEADLINE: PDSEC-16: papers due Jan 08
  The 17th IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific
  and Engineering Computing, May 27, 2016, Chicago USA
  to be held in conjunction with IPDPS 2016. http://cse.stfx.ca/~pdsec16

Scope and Interests:
  The technological trends of HPC systems imposes more burdens to
  application developers to manage unprecedented complexity of the
  systems and their performance characteristics. The existing
  application code may not perform well on these systems without large
  modifications. A complete rewrite may be required to utilize
  multiple levels of parallelism, novel I/O technology, power capping
  and system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity. The HPC
  community has developed new programming models, algorithms,
  libraries and tools to meet these new challenges to accommodate
  productive code development and effective system use. However, the
  application community still needs to identify the benefit through
  practical evaluations. This year, we will shift the focus of PDSEC
  to methodologies and experiences of scientific and engineering
  applications and algorithms to identify sustainable code development
  for better productivity and application performance.

  In particular we will focus on the following topics in parallel and
  distributed scientific and engineering applications, but not limited
  to:
  * Code modernization methodologies and experiences for adapting the
    changes in future computing systems such as porting of legacy
    simulation code and libraries/tools to facilitate porting and code
    refactoring.
  * Application and algorithm development of various parallel and
    distributed programming models/framework such as CAF, UPC, Chapel,
    X10, Charm++, HPX, Uintah, Legion, etc.  We appreciate the
    experiences of early adaptors of new programming models and
    platforms.
  * Experience in new tools and libraries for effective application
    development, including performance tools, application development
    frameworks, Domain Specific Languages (DSL), etc.
  * Use cases of enterprise distributed computing technology (such as
    MapReduce, Data Analytics and Machine-learning tools) in scientific
    and engineering applications
  * Tools and techniques to support spatial/temporal performance
    heterogeneity and resiliency for emerging extreme-scale systems.
  * Large-scale parallel and distributed algorithms supporting 
    science and engineering applications.
  * Methodologies and experiences in developing large-scale applications.
