Description:
The 2nd Conference on Enabling Technologies for Peta(fl)ops Computing is the first major open forum to treat the diversity of technical issues, opportunities, and
challenges related to the achievement of petaflops scale computing systems. This conference follows a series of in-depth workshops and sponsored studies
conducted to explore the factors that will determine the ultimate path to realizing such capability and the means of effectively using it. The purpose of the conference
is to establish a community-wide consensus on the state and understanding of Petaflops scale computing approaches and determine directions for future research
leading to practical Petaflops performance systems. The four day conference will involve experts from a broad interdisciplinary community to provide in-depth
coverage of a wide range of issues and foster detailed discussion across conventional discipline boundaries. The conference will engage the interests and talents of
participants through a series of invited and submitted papers, posters, panels, and discussion sessions. Relevant topic areas associated with petaflops scale
computing and beyond include but are not limited to:
Advanced device technologies Ultra-scale system architecture Scalable system software Parallel and latency-tolerant algorithms Large-scale applications Exotic methodologies (e.g. quantum, nano, molecular technologies)
