CPHPCA workshop (deadline extended) January 10, 2014 (strict deadline)

1^st Workshop on Complex Problems over High Performance Computing Architectures (CPHPCA’15)

Focus topic “High Performance Computing Programming” in conjunction with ARCS 2015.

Porto, Portugal, March 24^th – 27^th, 2015

Call for Papers

Focus

The main proposal of CPHPCA is to provide a scenario to discuss how problems with important challenges and high computational requirements can be mapped over current and upcoming high performance architectures. CPHPCA will be a part (in conjunction) of the 28^th GI/ITG International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems(ARCS'15).

The importance of high performance computing is continually rising and has emerged as one of the foremost fields of research. This brings up many issues, in form of new network topologies and technologies (fast accessing data), new low-consumption architectures, new programming models, etc. It forces us to adapt our codes or create new ones to take advantages of the latest computational features.

This workshop focuses on the challenges of how to adapt/implement complex and big problems on platforms composed by a high number of cores, dealing with communication, programming, heterogeneous architectures, load balancing, benchmarking, etc. Today, the difficulty of the problems to be implemented is increasing considerably, large data and computational requirements, dynamic behavior, numerical simulations, automatic models, are just a few examples of this kind of problems. Our target is to bridge the gap between the theory of complex problems (computational fluid dynamics, bioinformatics, lineal algebra, big data computing, ...) and high performance computing platforms by proposing advances in programming.

Topics

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original and unpublished research in all areas related with programming of complex problems via parallel and distributed processing. Works focusing on emerging architectures and big computing challenges are specially welcome.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

·     New strategies to improve performance.

·     Code adapting to take advantages of lastest features.

·     Numerical modeling and numerical accuracy analysis for complex problems.

·     Communication, synchronization, load balancing.

·     Benchmarking, performance and scalability of algorithms, data structures, tools, programming models ...

·     Analysis and proposing of new programming models.

·     Adaptive self-tuning computing systems.

·     High level abstraction tools ...

Keynote speakers

Manuel Ujaldón (CUDA Fellow): Emerging trends in GPU computing

Since its inception in early 2007, CUDA has transformed the way we understand High Performance Computing through a constant process of innovations and architectural enhancements. Sustainable performance has been based on three basic pillars: Scalable number of cores, memory access and low power. In this talk, we will review these three aspects and analyze what the future will bring us from commercial platforms: Maxwell for cores, Pascal for memory and Tegra for low power devices. The final part will unveil its preliminary potential from the programming perspective of HPC applications.

Guidelines for submission of contributions to workshops:
