WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

The 2nd International Workshop on Post Moore's Era Supercomputing
(PMES) follows the very successful initial PMES16 workshop at SC16.

This interdisciplinary workshop is organized to explore the scientific
issues, challenges, and opportunities for supercomputing beyond the
scaling limits of Moore's Law, with the ultimate goal of keeping
supercomputing at the forefront of computing technologies beyond the
physical and conceptual limits of current systems. Continuing progress
of supercomputing beyond the scaling limits of Moore's Law is likely
to require a comprehensive re-thinking of technologies, ranging from
innovative materials and devices, circuits, system architectures,
programming systems, system software, and applications.

The workshop is designed to foster interdisciplinary dialog across the
necessary spectrum of stakeholders: applications, algorithms,
software, and hardware. Motivating workshop questions will include the
following. "What technologies might prevail in the Post Moore's Era?"
"How can applications effectively prepare for these changes through
co-design?"  "What architectural abstractions should be in place to
represent the traditional concepts like hierarchical parallelism,
multi-tier data locality, and new concepts like variable precision,
approximate solutions, and resource tradeoff directives?" "What
programming models might insulate applications from these changes?"

Experts from academia, government, and industry in the fields of
computational science, mathematics, engineering, and computer science
will have the opportunity to participate in the workshop as a
presenter, panelist, or audience member. Invited speakers will provide
insights and challenges from their disciplinary perspectives, while
peer-reviewed position papers on promising ideas will be presented to
facilitate community interaction and diversity. Panel sessions will
provide opportunities for interactions across disciplines and
provocative questions from the audience.

WORKSHOP TOPICS
 - Technology trends and predictions
 - Quantum computing
 - Neuromorphic and brain-inspired computing
 - Probabilistic and stochastic computing
 - Superconducting and cryogenic computing
 - Interconnection technologies like silicon photonics and optics 
 - Alternative device technologies like CNT transistors
 - Approximate computing
 - Biological computing
 - Alternative memory systems including non-volatile memory
 - Beyond Von-Neumann computer architectures, including in-memory processing
   and memory-based computing
 - Exploiting nonlinear dynamics and chaos in device behavior
 - Reversible, adiabatic, and ballistic computing
 - Integration of device technologies including approaches in stacking,
   interposers, etc.
 - PMES application drivers from computational science, data intensive,
   deep learning 
 - Programming paradigms for PMES systems
 - Cross-cutting topics like methodologies and tools for codesign,
   design automation, modeling, simulation, emulation, or benchmarking of
   PMES systems

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as
technical or experience papers not exceeding 6 pages of content. The
6-page limit includes figures, tables and appendices, but does not
include acknowledgements or references, for which there is no page
limit. Submissions must use the ACM proceedings template available at
http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. (This is the
same template as SC17 Technical Papers format [except the page
limits].)

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is
not currently under review for any other venue. Papers not following
these guidelines will be rejected without review. Submissions received
after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately
structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an
accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Authors may
contact the workshop organizers for more information. Submissions are
single-blind. (Author names should be included on the submission.)
Papers should be submitted electronically in EasyChair at
http://bit.ly/pmes17submit.
