"Facing the Mulicore-Challenge II"
Conference for Young Scientists, September 28-30, 2011
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany

The conference focuses on topics of multi-/manycore and coprocessor
technologies and the impact on computational science, day-to-day work, and for
large-scale applications. The goal is to address and discuss current issues
including mathematical modeling, numerical methods, design of parallel
algorithms, aspects of microprocessor architecture, parallel programming
languages, compilers, hardware-aware computing, heterogeneous platforms,
emerging architectures, tools, performance tuning, and requirements for
large-scale applications.

The conference places emphasis on the support and advancement of young
scientists in an interdisciplinary environment.

You are cordially invited to submit a paper with unpublished and original
work. Furthermore, ongoing research can be presented in a short talk or
poster.

Submission topics for conference submissions include (but are not limited to):
• Emerging hardware architectures and multicore technologies
• Parallel programming models, environments and languages
• Parallelization strategies in hybrid and hierarchical setups
• Hardware-aware computing and auto-tuning strategies
• Heterogeneous computing, adaptive and reconfigurable computing
• Mathematical modeling and design of parallel algorithms
• Aspects of microprocessor technologies and prospects of manycores
• Virtualization strategies and hardware transparency
• Library and tool support
• Scalability issues and portability of software solutions
• Performance analysis and modeling; memory behavior analysis
• Compiler techniques and code optimization strategies
• Efficient numerical methods and mathematical modelling
• Practice and experience of multicore programming
• Parallel applications and benchmarks

Short talks and posters:
Graduate students and Ph.D. students are encouraged to present
a short talk (10 min.) or poster on their current research project. Please
submit a one-page abstract of your work.

Tutorials:
