Abstract

Parallel approaches to shared memory as well as distributed memory parallel computing platforms, both directly related to cluster computing, are necessary for solving many scientific problems and grand challenge applications.
Specific topics include details on specific sequential optimizations, parallelization for multiprocessing nodes (on multiple multi-core computers), and paralellization for distributed memory platforms.

Target Audience

This special session is devoted to exchange ideas and bring together researchers and approaches for enhancing the current state of HPC in clusters. Specifically, research on optimization and parallelization of legacy HPC applications is welcome, since most production environments already have applications which need to be updated and adapted to the new environment defined by the evolution of hardware increased number of cores instead of more increased frequency of operation.

Authors submitting papers to this special session must follow the initial paper formatting requirements. All papers must be submitted by September 7, 2012.
