5th Workshop on UnConventional High Performance Computing 2012

dom — Sat, 19 May 2012 09:49:18 +0000

Together with EuroPar-12, the 5th Workshop on UnConventional High Performance Computing 2012 (UCHPC 2012) will take place on August 27/28 at Rhodes Island, Greece. The workshop tries to capture solutions for HPC which are unconventional today but could become conventional and significant tomorrow. While GPGPU is already used a lot in HPC, there still are all kind of issues around best exploitation and productivity for the programmer. Submission deadline: June 6, 2012. For more details, see

CfP: ADBIS workshop GPUs in Databases GID 2012

dom — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:18:36 +0000

In recent years, utilizing Graphics Processing Units for general processing has become a very popular approach to obtain low-cost high performance computing applications. Algorithms from many computer science application domains have been adapted to utilize GPUs to increase the efficiency of processing. Unfortunately, while other application domains strongly benefit from utilizing the GPUs, databases related applications seem not to get enough attention. The main goal of GPUs in Databases workshop is to fill this gap. This event is devoted to sharing the knowledge related to applying GPUs in Database environments and to discuss possible future development of this application domain.

The list of topics includes: data compression on GPU, GPUs in databases and data warehouses, data mining using GPUs, stream processing, applications of GPUs in bioinformatics and data oriented GPU primitives.

Submitted papers will be published by Springer in the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing (AISC) series. Extended versions of the best workshop papers will be invited after the conference to the international journal Control and Cybernetics (http://control.ibspan.waw.pl), which is indexed by Thomson Reuters Science Citation Index Expanded.

Please see http://gid2012.cs.put.poznan.pl for details.

WCCM Minisymposium: Applications and methods of GPU

dom — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 18:22:05 +0000

Since the last WCCM (Sydney 2009), where we organized a similarly themed minisymposium, the scientific and engineering communities have gained much experience in using GPU hardware for their applications. The number of publications addressing GPU applications has skyrocketed, while researchers have developed much common understanding of how to implement numerical methods in this architecture. Moreover, we now find that three of the five fastest computers in the world, as measured for the Top500 list, are GPU-based systems. There is much conversation about GPUs playing a leading role in the exascale computing world. In summary, this topic is of wide interest; frankly, it is all the rage. This minisymposium will concentrate presentations from the top researchers in the world using GPU hardware for applications in all branches of computational mechanics. We encourage contributions that address innovative methods to use GPUs efficiently, studies in numerical methods as they apply to adapting to the hardware and perspectives on the future of GPUs as we advance toward exascale.

WCCM will be held at São Paolo, Brazil, 8–13 July 2012. The abstract submission deadline is December 31, 2011. More information: http://www.wccm2012.com, http://barbagroup.bu.edu/Barba_group/Events.html.

CfP: 4th Workshop on using Emerging Parallel Architectures (WEPA)

dom — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:11:01 +0000

The 4th Workshop on using Emerging Parallel Architectures (WEPA 2012) is held in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2012), Omaha, Nebraska, June 2-4, 2011.

The computing landscape has undergone significant transformation with the emergence of more powerful processing elements such as GPUs, FPGAs, multi-cores, etc. On the multi-core front, Moore’s Law has transcended beyond the single processor boundary with the prediction that the number of cores will double every 18 months. Going forward, the primary method of gaining processor performance will be through parallelism. Multi-core technology has visibly penetrated the global market. Accordingly to the latest Top500 lists the HPC landscape has evolved from supercomputer systems into large clusters of dual or quad-core processors. Furthermore, GPUs, FPGAs and multi-cores have been shown to be formidable computing alternatives, where certain classes of applications witness more than one order of magnitude improvement over their GPP counterpart. Therefore, future computational science centers will employ resources such as FPGA and GPU architectures to serve as co-processors to offload appropriate compute-intensive portions of applications from the servers.

This workshop provides a forum for exploring the capabilities of emerging parallel architectures to accelerate computational science applications. Papers are being sought on a wide variety of topics related to the field of using emerging parallel architectures for computational science including but not limited to:

Application studies on emerging architectures such as GPUs, FPGAs and Intel MIC
Parallel algorithms and methodologies on emerging architectures
Languages, models, tools, and compilation techniques for emerging architectures
Hybrid computer systems consisting of a combination of GPUs, FPGAs, etc.
Use of emerging architectures in clusters, grids and supercomputers
