6th Annual Workshop on Charm++ and its Applications 2008
http://charm.cs.uiuc.edu/charmWorkshop
Hosted by the Parallel Programming Laboratory
Department of Computer Science
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
May 1-3, 2008
Charm++/AMPI and the frameworks built upon them have emerged as powerful parallel
programming systems in recent years. By allowing the programmer to divide the
computation into a large number of entities, which are mapped to the available processors
by an intelligent runtime system, Charm++ enables a separation of concerns that leads to
both improved productivity and higher performance. Powerful abstractions are available
in the ParFUM, POSE, MSA, and Multiblock frameworks. Charm++ frameworks have
enabled applications ranging from molecular dynamics, cosmology, network simulation,
materials science, and rocket simulation.
The workshop will focus on showcasing the latest leading research in parallel processing
using Charm++ and its frameworks.
Topics will include:
* NAMD: Scaling to Petascale Machines
* OpenAtom: Massively Parallel Quantum Chemistry Simulations
* Charm++ on heterogeneous systems
* ChaNGa: The Charm N-Body Gravity Solver
* ParFUM: The Parallel Framework for Unstructured Meshes - Infrastructure and Applications
* BigSim: Simulating PetaFLOPS Supercomputers
* Productive Parallel Programming (AMPI, Charisma, MSA)
* Debugging large-scale applications with CharmDebug
Call For Papers:
Authors are invited to submit short manuscripts that demonstrate research and
development in all areas of parallel processing using Charm++ and AMPI. Submissions
should be in the form of extended abstracts up to 3 pages formatted in standard IEEE
format. The papers will not be published and the authors are encouraged to publish them
in other conferences. Some of the topics of interest are:
· Parallel and Distributed Applications in science and engineering
· Parallel Discrete Event Simulation techniques and applications
· Parallel libraries and frameworks
· Extensions and new features in Charm++
· Massively parallel processing on future machines
· Novel parallel programming models
Please send submissions to Pritish Jetley (pjetley2_at_[hidden]) by the deadline below.
Important dates:
· Manuscripts due: Mar 23, 2008
· Notification of acceptance: Apr 1, 2008
· Workshop: May 1-3, 2007
