"2012 Symposium on Application Accelerators in High-Performance Computing (SAAHPC12)"

DATE: July 10, 2012 to July 11, 2012
TIME: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM
LOCATION: Building 240 Conference Room 1416, Argonne National Laboratory
HOST: Sponsors: Argonne, NCSA, NICS, Cray, Intel, NVIDIA, Penguin Computing, Rogue Wave Software

Description:
What do GPUs, FPGAs, vector processors and other exotic special-purpose chips have in common? They are advanced processor architectures that the scientific community is using to accelerate computationally demanding applications. While high-performance computing systems that use application accelerators are still rare, they will be the norm rather than the exception in the near future. The Symposium on Application Accelerators in High-Performance Computing brings together developers of computing accelerators and end-users of the technology to exchange ideas and learn about the latest developments in the field.

The symposium focuses on the use of application accelerators in high-performance and scientific computing and issues that surround it. Topics of interest include:

- novel accelerator processors, systems, and architectures
- integration of accelerators with high-performance computing systems
- programming models for accelerator-based computing
- languages and compilers for accelerator-based computing
- run-time environments, profiling and debugging tools for accelerator-based computing
- scientific and engineering applications that use application accelerators
