Description

We are in a critical turning point in the HPC domain where new languages are 
needed to better exploit current and especially future technology, the 
paradigms of which are rapidly changing, as well as the problems to face 
from now to the future. While this change originates from HPC, it also 
affects many mainstream domains as well as parallel programming has become 
ubiquitous.

Current use of large datasets and high bandwidth memory and networks, and 
the increase of collaborative multidisciplinary projects, based on intensive 
computation and visualization, which we typically associate with 
supercomputing, have not yet become part of undergraduate courses.

The challenge now is how to introduce this new technology to undergraduate 
education and also include the necessary supercomputing tools in order to 
prepare students for future challenges, to facilitate the process of 
scientific progress.

In this workshop, we call for papers proposing new strategies to train students
for these challenging and rewarding domains, as well as to discuss open issues 
and investigate directions for broader student engagement.

Topics of Interest
This workshop would like to encourage submissions on any of (but not limited 
to) the following topics:

    * critical topics to teach for the future,
    * new programming approaches to deal with HPC systems,
    * new programming languages facilitating student education,
    * tools to facilitate identification of real problems,
    * new tools to ease performance analysis and understanding of systems,
    * ...


Procedure

Papers should be limited to 6 pages, please use the same format as the PACT 
conference, see the  PACT Paper Submission Information:
http://pactconf.org/authors/paper-submission-information/

Submission: please send your paper by email to 
Marisa Gil <marisa at ac.upc.edu> and Chris Fensch <C.Fensch at hw.ac.uk>.
