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
   - Today's hardware
   - Parallel numerical algorithms and libraries
*Challenges
   - Emerging architectures that will enable exascale
   - Effectively using millions of computational units
   - Hybrid architectures
   - Resilience and fault-tolerant algorithms
   - Reproducibility
*Future directions
   - Compiler directives, domain libraries, or code changes, or ...?
   - Decomposition/coupling/multiphysics evolution
   - 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/conferences/?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.
