PDSEC 2013 - 14th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 14th International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing
(PDSEC-13)
May 24, 2013
Boston, Massachusetts USA
to be held in conjunction with IPDPS 2013
Scope and Interests: The field of high performance computing has been prominent since the 1940s, and has become increasingly significant as recent advances in electronic and integrated circuit technologies have made it more widely accessible. The hardware is becoming faster, less expensive and more cost effective, which will result in a proliferation in the application of parallel and distributed systems. Scientific and engi- neering application domains play a key role in shaping future research and development activities in academia and industry, especially when the solution of large and complex problems must cope with tight timing constraints.
This workshop will bring together computer scientists, applied mathematicians and researchers to present, discuss and exchange ideas, results, work in progress and experiences in the area of parallel and distributed computing for problems in science and engineering applications and inter- disciplinary applications.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- development of advanced parallel and distributed methods,
- parallel and distributed computing techniques and codes,
- practical experiences using various parallel and distributed sy-
stems with software such as MPI, PVM, HPFortran, OpenMP, UPC, mpC etc.,
- domain decomposition,
- loop and task parallelism,
- scheduling and load balancing,
- compiler, hardware and OS issues for scientific and engineering
computing,
- memory system and I/O support for scientific and engineering
computing,
- hardware/software support for performance, power and energy
aware applications,
- network, mobile/wireless processing and computing,
- performance modeling and evaluation of scientific and enginee-
ring computing,
- cluster and grid scientific and engineering computing,
- scientific and engineering computing on HPC architectures, in-
cluding (but not limited to) supercomputers, parallel computers, clusters, multicores, GPUs, FPGAs,
- biologically inspired algorithms in system model, design and ap-
plications.
- Application areas include (but are not limited to):
-- computational fluid dynamics and mechanics
-- material sciences
-- space, weather, climate systems and global changes
-- computational environment and energy systems
-- computational ocean and earth sciences
-- combustion system simulation
-- computational chemistry

Submission Information: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research. Submitted papers should be at most 10 pages (IEEE style is recommended), must be in PDF format, and should list 5 to 10 keywords. The submission is via an online submission system; see the workshop website for details. Accepted papers with at most 10 pages will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as IPDPS-13 workshop proceedings. Selected best papers will be considered for a special issue of an international journal. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register early to attend the conference, in order for the paper to appear in the conference proceedings.
