SAAHPC 2011 - 2011 Symposium on Application Accelerators in High-Performance Computing (SAAHPC)

The 2011 Symposium on Application Accelerators in High-Performance Computing will bring together developers of hybrid computing architectures and computing accelerators and experts involved with the development of applications on such systems to exchange ideas and discuss issues and emerging challenges. Presentations from technology developers and the academic user community are invited on the following topics:

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
In addition to the general session, submissions are invited for the following domain-specific topics:

Computational chemistry on accelerators (Chair: Jeff Hammond, Argonne Leadership Computing Facility)
Lattice QCD (Chair: Steven Gottlieb, Indiana University, Bloomington)
Weather and climate modeling (Chair: John Michalakes, National Renewable Energy Laboratory)
Bioinformatics (Chair: TBD)
Researchers interested in presenting should submit either a short paper (up to 4 pages, for a poster presentation) or a long paper (up to 10 pages, for an oral presentation), by May 6, 2011. Paper manuscripts should be formatted using IEEE 2-column conference proceedings format. MS Word and LaTex templates can be found here. Submission should done via the EasyChair conference submission system. When submitting a paper for a special topic, please indicate so.

All submissions will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee and the accepted submissions will be presented as either oral presentations or posters. Papers presented at the Symposium will be included in the Symposium Proceedings published by the Conference Publishing Services. Instructions for final camera-ready submissions will be posted later.

Important dates:

Submissions due: May 6, 2011
Presentation acceptance notification: June 6, 2011
Final papers due: June 30, 2011
