Exascale Applications and Software Conference (EASC
2018)
Edinburgh, UK. 17-19 April 2018
Call for participation
You are warmly invited to participate in the 5th Exascale Applications and
Software Conference (EASC 2018), to be held in Edinburgh, UK on the 17-19 April
2018.
Topics of interest
The organisers seek novel contributions in all areas associated with
applications, tools, software programming models and libraries, and other
technologies necessary to exploit future exascale systems.
-enabling and optimising applications for exascale in any area;
-developing and enhancing algorithms for exascale systems;
-aiding the exploitation of massively parallel systems through tools, e.g.
performance analysis, debugging, development environments;
-programming models and libraries for exascale;
-exascale runtimes and system software;
-evaluating best practice in HPC concerning large-scale facilities and
application execution;
-novel uses of current generation and future exascale systems;
-new hardware technologies and their exploitation to solve exascale
challenges.
Research and/or experience that brings together current theory and practice is
particularly welcome.
Participation Guidelines
We seek contributions in the form of a one page abstract for oral or poster
presentation.
There will be a prize for the best paper and for the best student
contribution.
There will be an opportunity to submit papers to a special edition of the
Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-computing/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-exascale-applications-and-software-2018)
. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. All submissions will be
