Workshop on Accelerated High-Performance Computing in Computational Sciences
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics is organizing a two week Workshop on Accelerated High-Performance Computing in Computational Sciences to be held at ICTP (Trieste, Italy), 25 May - 5 June, 2015.
Efficient support for parallel computational units (SSE/AVX units, GPUs and similar) into scientific applications requires explicit c onsideration of aspects like the ease of deployment, administration and resource management as well as the capability and flexibility of programming interfaces and models, the degree of available acceleration and its portability across devices, and the ove rall cost and effort required. While a large variety of accelerated hardware is readily available to scientists, its utilization in scientific computing and corresponding porting efforts are often limited by lack of training and insight into the underlying technology.
This workshop aims to give an overview on such hybrid compute systems from deployment over programming to effective utilization.
