PDSEC 2015 - 16th IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC 2015)

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 engineering 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 special 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 not limited to):
Development of advanced parallel and distributed algorithms, applications and middleware
Scientific and engineering computing on HPC architectures, including supercomputers, clusters, manycores, multicores, GPUs, FPGAs, etc
Practical experiences using various parallel and distributed programming models such as CAF, UPC, Global Arrays, Chapel, Cilk, Intel TBB, X10, Charm++, etc
