AIM:
The purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the state-of-the-art
in high-performance scientific computing with applications and various fields,
like environment, chemistry, physics etc.
Thus, the presentations will focus on applications needing high-performance computing,
physical modeling of large-scale problems, and the development of scalable algorithms
for solving large scale problems on modern parallel
and distributed high-performance computing platforms,
including multicore architectures, GPGPUs/GPUs, and clusters.
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.
The emphasis of this workshop will be on running complex realistic applications
at sustained performance in production-grade HPC environments.
Scalability studies of complex computing codes on HPC platforms and the tools
and development environments facilitating improved scalability are among the expected contributions.

TOPICS:
Specific topics for this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:

Interactive HPC applications
Multi-Scale / Multi- Physics HPC applications
Exploration of large data sets on HPC systems
Multicore/manycore architectures in scientific applications
GPU support for applications
Cluster, Grid and Cloud Computing in scientific applications
Parallelization of compute or data-intensive tasks in scientific applications
Data handling, integration and visualization in scientific applications
Distributed infrastructures for scientific applications
Programming paradigms for high performance computing in scientific applications
Tools and programming environments supporting high performance computing in scientific applications
Scheduling in high performance computing for scientific applications
Workflow management and remote collaboration in scientific applications
System level support for high performance computing in scientific applications
Fault tolerance of distributed scientific applications
Scalability of infrastructures and applications in scientific applications
