EMiT 2015 - 2015 Emerging Technology Conference

Computational hardware is changing rapidly. Two decades ago, all we needed to know was the speed of upcoming hardware, not its form or the state of its software frameworks. This is no longer true with new and novel highly parallel computing architectures being unveiled continuously. This forces important questions about re-coding and future proofing existing scientific software. Emerging Technology describes this continual change of hardware and algorithms.
Unique aims and scope: the EMiT (EMerging Technology) conference series brings together experts from all areas of computing to examine how to best take advantage of the changing landscape of computer hardware and overcome research barriers for fields such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computational mechanics, life sciences, and financial modelling. Building on the success of EMiT 2014 at the University of Manchester, EMiT 2015 is expanding to a 2-day event.
Objectives
to identify latest trends in hardware development for novel computing;
to share how best to exploit Emerging Tech for application;
to focus on new techniques, their development and transfer to new areas.
Keynote Speakers
