Workshop Overview

The 3rd International Workshop on Post Moore's Era Supercomputing
(PMES) follows the very successful PMES workshops at PMES16
<http://j.mp/pmes2016> and PMES17 <http://j.mp/pmes2017>.

These interdisciplinary workshops are 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.
