It provides an ideal opportunity for academics, industrialists and PhD students to relate experience and to present both finished work and work in progress. The event has been organised to sustain the atmosphere of informality that previous UKPEWs have fostered. As well as sessions for presenting the papers submitted, it will also be possible to organise a session of short presentations of work in progress.

April 6, 2012 — Paper and poster submission
May 18, 2012 — Notification of acceptance
June 1, 2012 — Camera-ready copy deadline
June 1, 2012 — Registration deadline
July 2-3, 2012 — UKPEW 2012 in Edinburgh

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
