[hpc-announce] (CALL FOR PARTICIPATION) PAW-ATM: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X (with SC23)

****************************************************************
Call for Participation PAW-ATM 2023:
Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X

Held in conjunction with SC23, Denver, CO

November 13, 2023
9:00am - 5:30pm (MST)
Room 702 / Hybrid Event

****************************************************************

Alternatives to MPI+X are worth exploring as programmer productivity
becomes a major component of scientific time-to-solution. Alternatives
include parallel programming languages (e.g. Chapel, Regent, Fortran
2018), general-purpose libraries (e.g. Charm++, COMPSs, HPX, Legion,
UPC++), and domain-specific libraries (e.g. Arkouda, Dask, Spark).
With many options to choose from, it can be difficult for programmers
to know which alternative models are appropriate for their application
and for programming model developers to understand the opportunities
for improvement.

Through discussion of specific applications, PAW-ATM brings together
application experts and programming model developers to improve
applications and models.
