E2SC 2013 - International Workshop on Energy Efficiency for SuperComputing (E2SC)

ith Exascale systems on the horizon, we have ushered in an era with power and energy consumption as the primary concerns for scalable computing. To achieve this, revolutionary methods are required with a stronger integration among hardware features, system software and applications. Equally important are the capabilities for fine-grained spatial and temporal measurement and control to facilitate these layers for energy efficient computing across all layers. Current approaches for energy efficient computing rely heavily on power efficient hardware in isolation. However, it is pivotal for hardware to expose mechanisms for energy efficiency to optimize various workloads. At the same time, high fidelity measurement techniques, typically ignored in data-center level measurement, are of importance for scalable and energy efficient inter-play in different layers of application, system software and hardware. This workshop will bring together researchers from different communities working on challenging problems in this area for a dynamic exchange of ideas.
This workshop is organized by Kirk Cameron, Virginia Tech, Darren J. Kerbyson and Andres Marquez from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Dimitris Nikolopoulos of Queen's University, Belfast, and Sudhakar Yalamanchili, Georgia Institute of Technology.
