HPC-E5

Workshop on Extreme Data Parallel Processing,
Exascale Systems Engineering and Energy Efficiency

in conjunction with SYNASC 2015
jointly organized with COST Action NESUS

23-24 September 2015

======================================================

Aim
---
The purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the state-of-the-art
in implementing the exascale system concept, and in particular in what concerns
the engineering of such systems, the energy-aware algorithms and programming,
as well as the capabilities enhancements for processing extreme data.
Furthermore, during the workshop the participants will have the opportunity
to discuss and share the latest research in parallel and distributed
high performance computing systems applied to scientific problems
on modern computing platforms, including multicore and manycore architectures,
GPGPUs, and clusters.

Topics:
--------
Specific topics for this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Fault-tolerant MPI and checkpointing
* APIs for auto-tuning performance or energy
* Metrics, analysis techniques and models for exascale systems
* Non-conventional parallel programming
* Inspection of data locality at exascale level
* On-the-fly data analysis, data mining
* Hardware resilient exascale storage
* Big Data and HPC integrated software stack
* Problem-solving environments for large data
* Scalable scheduling enhancement with execution environment and data provisioning integration
* Multi-criteria adaptive algorithms for heterogeneity- memory- and locality-awareness
* Energy/power-aware implementations/algorithms
* Energy/power-aware job dispatch tools.
* Power-efficient numerical libraries
* Benchmarks and mini-apps for new parallel programming models/languages
* Runtime support for communication optimization: data-locality management, caching, and pre-fetching
* Management and monitoring of runtime systems in dynamic environments.
* APIs for auto-tuning performance or energy
* Performance tools using programming model abstractions
* Specific languages / language extensions or development frameworks for exascale programming
* Interactive Data Exploration
* Multicore/manycore architectures and GPU support for applications
