================== CALL FOR ABSTRACTS =============================== Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfA. Please share the announcement below with those who may be interested. ********************************************************************* CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: DEADLINE EXTENDED ********************************************************************* Workshop of the Virtual Institute - High Productivity Supercomputing (VI-HPS) in collaboration with the German Priority Programme "Software for Exascale Computing" (SPPEXA) on EXTREME-SCALE PROGRAMMING TOOLS at Supercomputing Conference (SC) 2013 November 18th, 2013 Denver, Colorado, USA http://www.vi-hps.org/events/other/espt-sc13.html Extended submission deadline: July 15th, 2013 ********************************************************************* You are cordially invited to submit one page abstract about relevant and unpublished work to the Extreme-Scale Programming Tools workshop to be held at Supercomputing Conference 2013. The Workshop aims at repeating the success of the predecessor workshop held at SC12. Selected authors will be invited to give a 15 minutes talk followed by 5 minutes discussion. The slides will be made public on the workshop website, however no proceedings are planned. ********************************************************************* Workshop abstract: As we approach exascale, architectural complexity and severe resource limitations with respect to power, memory and I/O, make tools support in debugging and performance optimization more critical than ever before. However, the challenges mentioned above also apply to tools development and, in particular, raise importance of topics, such as automatic tuning and methodologies for exascale tools-aided application development. This workshop will serve as a forum for application, system, and tool developers to discuss the requirements for future exascale-enabled tools and the roadblocks that need to be addressed on the way. We also highly encourage application developers to share their experiences with using the tools. The workshop is organized by the Virtual Institute - High Productivity Supercomputing in collaboration with the German Priority Programme "Software for Exascale Computing" (SPPEXA). The event will also focus on the community-building process necessary to create an integrated tools-suite ready for an exascale software stack. ********************************************************************* Workshop topics: * Programming Tools, for instance, Performance Analysis and Tuning Tools, Debuggers, IDEs * Methodologies for Performance Engineering * Tool Technologies Tackling Extreme-Scale Challenges, such as Scalability, Resilience, etc. * Tool Infrastructures * Application Developer Experiences with Programming Tools ********************************************************************* Submission details: Please submit the title and one page abstract until July 15th, 2013 using the following link: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=espt2013 ********************************************************************* Travel support: A limited amount of travel grants will be awarded to the participants selected based on the submitted abstracts with preference to be given to SPPEXA doctoral candidates, early-career and female researchers. The travel grants cover a flight in 2nd class and the SC workshop fee (in total not more then 1300 USD). Applications should be submitted to oleynik@in.tum.de and mention whether any of the preference criteria mentioned above apply. Please also provide an estimate of the required travel support. ********************************************************************* Program committee: Michael Gerndt, Technical University of Munich Felix Wolf, German Research School for Simulation Sciences Bettina Krammer, MoRitS, Bielefeld University & University of Applied Sciences Bielefeld Dieter an Mey, RWTH Aachen University Wolfgang E.
