P2S2 2020 - CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
==============================================================

The Thirteenth International Workshop on Parallel Programming Models and Systems
Software for High-End Computing (P2S2)

August 17th, 2020, Edmonton, AB, Canada [Online]

To be held in conjunction with ICPP 2020: The 49th International Conference on
Parallel Processing.

Website: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/p2s2/2020/


P2S2 2020 will be online. Recorded video presentations and slides will be available at the program page ahead of time. During the live discussion session via a Zoom meeting, authors will make a five-minute pitch presentation followed by questions and answers. We encourage all attendees to also join the ICPP 2020 Slack workspace where all the interactions between attendees, presenters, and session chairs will occur. The participation is free of charge, but requires a registration. 



Registration
------------
The registration is free and involves two steps:

Step 1. Please register with the ICPP main conference https://jnamaral.github.io/icpp20/registration/ in order to receive accesses to Slack and Zoom provided by ICPP.

Step 2. We request you to also register at https://forms.gle/5xq5HcxjkrVeVfo86. This way allows us to communicate with you for detailed connection information and any future updates.

SCOPE
-----
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are at the forefront of parallel programming models and systems software for high-end computing. Please join us in a discussion of new ideas, experiences, challenges, and the latest trends in these areas at the workshop. Topics related to the programming models and software for emerging high-performance architectures (e.g., FPGA, ASIC) are especially welcome.

The focus areas for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

* Systems software for high-end scientific and enterprise computing architectures
* Programming models and their high-performance implementations
* Tools for Management, Maintenance, Coordination and Synchronization
* Performance evaluation, analysis and modeling of emerging computing platforms
