Workshop on "Big Data & Deep Learning in HPC" - June, 30th

The workshop will be concerned with the exchange of experience among academics, researchers and the industry whose work in big data and deep learning require high performance computing to achieve goals. Participants will present recently developed algorithms/systems, on going work and applications taking advantage of such parallel or distributed environments.

Workshop on "Computational Challenges for Climate Modeling and Weather Prediction" - July, 1st

In this workshop we will discuss the many technical challenges related to the computational aspects related to climate modeling and weather prediction, namely:

  • Development and calibration of algorithmic models;
  • Programming models and the role of domain-specific languages (DSL);
  • Performance understanding and performance portability to newer HPC systems;
  • Leveraging computational heterogeneity (many-core, GPU and FPGA) for acceleration;
  • Design space exploration (DSE) of parameter spaces for models and its trade-offs;

Programmatically, half of the workshop will be devoted to a comprehensive introduction to climate models and weather prediction, where the audience will be exposed to basic definitions, key concepts, abstractions, design flows, and design constraints; also some highly visible research projects will be presented as exemplars to provide an overview of existing and emerging solutions in this domain. The other half of the event will create a forum for interactive discussion and exchange of ideas and experiences between researchers through posters and demonstrations, with the goal of highlighting details on applicability, performance, and strengths of current solutions. Our aim is for attendees to learn about emerging computing techniques, highlight publicly available modeling and simulation tools, and view directions for longer-term research.
