40th SPEEDUP Workshop on High Performance Computing,
taking place on February 6/7, 2012, at University of Basel, Switzerland

The workshop is open for researchers, students and scientific and industrial partners. The intention  is to present and discuss the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing. Presentations will focus on algorithms, applications, and software issues related to high-performance parallel computing. The focus of the workshop on Monday February 6 will be “Scalable Heterogeneous Computing and Programming Models for Computational Science”.

More information and a registration page for the Colloquium or Colloquium+Tutorial are available here »

The fees are:

• Colloquium: CHF 50, free for students
• Tutorial  : CHF 150, CHF 50 for students

The Colloquium Day, February 6, 2012

The following invited speakers will present and discuss the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing (6 talks of 45 minutes each + poster session):

• Prof. Jeff Vetter (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)
• Dr.   Peter Tang (Intel)
• Dr.   Brad Chamberlain (Cray)
• Prof. Paolo Bientinesi (RWTH Aachen)
• Prof. Dimitri Komatitsch (CNRS)
• Prof. Bastien Chopard (University of Geneva)

To promote fast exchange of information in our community, a poster session with contributed posters will take place also on Feb 6. Please, encourage your collaborators to register with a poster title and upload an abstract for their posters, the deadline is January 28, 2012.

The Tutorial Day, Feb 7, 2012

On February 7 Speedup will organize a tutorial on Intel Threading Building Blocks taught by Hans Pabst (Intel).

The intention of this workshop is to present and discuss the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing. Presentations will focus on algorithms, applications, and software issues related to high-performance parallel computing.  The focus of the workshop on Monday Sept 6 will be on software environments for large scale simulations and on the issues of fault tolerance in massively parallel systems.

The scientific program of Sept 6 consists of seven 45-minute talks and a poster session.  Please encourage your collaborators to uploaded an abstract.  The deadline is August 28, 2010.

On Sept 7 we will organize a tutorial on hybrid MPI/OpenMP computing. It will be taught by Timothy Stitt and Neil Stringfellow (both CSCS, Manno, Switzerland).

There is a small fee of CHF 50 payable at the workshop.  For students the workshop is free of charge.

Details and the registration form can be found at http://www.speedup.ch/.

The fee for the tutorial are CHF150 payable at the workshop or tutorial.  For students the price is CHF50.

Organizing Committee:Andreas Adelmann (PSI Villigen), Peter Arbenz (ETH Zurich), Olaf Schenk (University of Basel), Vittoria Rezzonico (EPF Lausanne), Ales Janka (University of Fribourg).
