Call for Participation

SIAM Workshop on Exascale Applied Mathematics Challenges and Opportunities
(http://www.siam.org/meetings/ex14/)

Co-located with
2014 SIAM Annual Meeting

(http://www.siam.org/meetings/an14/)

July 6, 2014
The Palmer House
Chicago, Illinois

Over the past few years, the focus of most workshops on exascale computing
(defined as the use of computers capable of at least one quintillion
calculations
per second) has been the expected challenges of billion-way concurrency and
the associated issues such as data motion, resilience, and energy usage.
Less attention has been paid to the mathematics at exascale. The focus of
this workshop is on providing relevant, accessible and timely material on
exascale computing and the mathematical challenges with many-core and
accelerated
architectures.  The intent is that attendees come away with a reasonable
idea
of the current state of the art, the current challenges and opportunities,
and what needs to be done differently going forward.  This workshop, a
synthesis
of the state of the field, will be accessible to non-experts and experts
alike.

The workshop will consist of a full day of contributed and invited
presentations
and discussions on topics including, but not limited to:
- Current state of the art
	o	Today¹s hardware
	o	Parallel numerical algorithms and libraries
- Challenges
	o	Emerging architectures that will enable exascale
	o	Effectively using millions of computational units
	o	Hybrid architectures
	o	Resilience and fault-tolerant algorithms
	o	Reproducibility
- Future directions
	o	Compiler directives, domain libraries, or code changes, or ...?
	o	Decomposition/coupling/multiphysics evolution?
	o	How can algorithm and library developers harness future architectures

Case studies, position papers proposing topics for discussion, and
technical
talks describing particular approaches are invited. The organizers seek
participants
from a broad spectrum of areas, including developers of scientific
simulation
codes and industrial end users.  The presentations are expected to be 30
minutes
in length, but we will entertain exceptions.

Those wishing to participate should submit an abstract or position paper by
February 28, 2014.  Papers should be submitted through EasyChair at
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=ex14.  Submissions should
be no longer than 1000 words; no additional material other than a list of
cited
references will be considered. Use no smaller than 11-point font and at
least
one-inch margins.  There is a limit of at most two submissions that an
individual
can submit; no limits on number of groups/institutions. Each paper should
provide
contact information (name, institution, email address) for a single,
corresponding
author.  If you do not already have an account on EasyChair, you will be
asked
to go through the easy process to create one.

Notifications of acceptance will be sent by March 31, 2014.  Submissions
will
be selected based on their quality and responsiveness to the call. We
expect to
post the selected papers online with the agenda. Participants will be
expected
to fund their own travel and accommodations for the workshop.

Please refer to the EX14 website (http://www.siam.org/meetings/ex14/) for
updates
on the workshop details including the full call.
