[hpc-announce] Correctness 2018 @ SC18 - Call for Participation

[Laguna Peralta, Ignacio]

===========================================================
Correctness 2018: Second International Workshop on Software
Correctness for HPC Applications

Held in conjunction with SC18 - November 12, 2018
===========================================================

Ensuring correctness in HPC applications is one of the fundamental 
challenges that the HPC community faces today. While significant 
advances in debugging, verification, and testing have been made to 
isolate software defects in the context of non-HPC software, several 
factors make achieving correctness in HPC applications and systems much 
more challenging than in general systems: growing heterogeneity, massive 
scale computations, use of combined parallel programing models, new 
scalable numerical algorithms, and aggressive compiler 
optimizations/transformations.

The goal of the Correctness Workshop is to bring together researchers 
and developers to present and discuss novel ideas to address the problem 
of correctness in HPC. The workshop will feature contributed papers and 
invited talks.
