Workshop on Patterns in High Performance Computing
http://charm.cs.uiuc.edu/patHPC
Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, May 4-6, 2005
Motivation
There has been of late a renewed interest in technologies that improve
the productivity of HPC software development, such as parallel
programming languages and libraries, Object Oriented scientific
programming, and parallel run-time systems and tools. The success of
these activities requires a good understanding of common patterns used
in the development of HPC software: patterns used for the coding of
parallel algorithms, their mapping to various architectures, and
performance tuning activities. The purpose of the workshop is to bring
together people that are interested in HPC patterns: people interested
in documenting patterns for the development of HPC software, people that
are involved in the development of HPC software, and people that are
involved in the development of languages, libraries, programming
environments and tools that support the development of HPC software. The
workshop will enable researchers to discuss their work and to initiate a
dialogue on ways for leveraging the methods and insights of the design
pattern community to advance the state of HPC software. Depending on the
success of this first event, we expect it to develop into a regular
workshop.
Topics
The workshop focuses on the documentation of patterns for the
development of High Performance Computing software and on the use of
parallel design pattern for the production of high-performance computing
software. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:
* Patterns, skeletons and frameworks for high performance computing
* Pattern based parallel programming
* Extensible and reusable high performance computing software
* Tool, library and language support for parallel programming patterns
Submissions
We seek, for this workshop, two types of submissions:
1. Papers written in the pattern form discussing aspects of HPC
software creation. The actual subject of patterns need not be original.
Rather, preference will be shown to authors best able to exploit the
pattern form in the field of HPC.
2. Regular papers describing original research related to patterns
in HPC.
The accepted papers in the first category will be discussed and reviewed
in writer's workshops. The accepted papers in the second category will
be presented in regular talks. In addition, the workshop will include a
writer's workshop orientation and at least one panel and general
discussion session. Submissions should be done electronically thought
the workshop's web site. Authors are asked to submit electronically an
abstract of 3 pages or longer for regular paper submissions; a pattern
submission should be in the form of a full draft of the final
contribution. The contributed papers will be posted on the conference
web site.
Important Dates
Submissions deadline: Monday, Feb 28, 2005.
Notification of acceptance: Monday, March 21, 2005.
Deadline for final version: Monday, April 18, 2005.
Workshop May 4-6, 2005.
