Fifth Workshop on the DOE
Advanced Computational Software Collection
http://acts.nersc.gov/events/Workshop2004
Enabling Technologies For High End Computer Simulations
Place: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Date: August 24-27, 2004
The DOE Advanced CompuTational Software Collection (ACTS
Collection, http://acts.nersc.gov) comprises a set of tools mainly
developed at the Department of Energy's (DOE) laboratories.
These software tools aim to simplify the solution of common
and important computational problems and have substantially
benefited a wide range of scientific and industrial applications.
These benefits are accounted not only for running efficiently
in high performing computing environments but also realizing
computation that would not have been possible otherwise.
Despite these successes, there is still a need for a greater
infrastructure to each out academia and industry through a
dissemination and instruction on the state-of-the-art
tools for high performance computing environments and
simultaneously provide an umbrella for tool developers to
receive the feedback from these communities. This
workshop is part of an approach to build such an infrastructure.
The four-day workshop will present an introduction to the
ACTS Collection for application scientists whose research
demand includes either large amounts of computation, a large
volume of data manipulation, the use of robust numerical algorithms,
or combinations of these. The workshop will include a range
of tutorials on the tools (currently available in the collection and
some deliverables from the DOE SciDAC ISICs), discussion
sessions aimed to solve specific computational needs by the
participants, and hands-on practices using the NERSC's
state-of-the-art computers. We are planning to organize
parallel sessions and group the tutorials by topics, as follows:
+ Direct and Iterative Methods for the solution of linear and
non-linear systems of equations
+ PDE's and Multi-level Methods
+ Numerical Optimization
+ Structured and Unstructured meshes (Generation, Manipulation
and Computation)
+ Development of High Performance Computing applications
+ Performance monitoring and tuning
+ Grid computing
+ Software Interoperability
Who Should attend this workshop?
This workshop is opened to computational scientists from
industry and academia. Registration fees are fully sponsored by
the DOE's office of Science. In addition, DOE will sponsor travel
expenses for a limited number of graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows. This support includes round-trip transportation to and from
Berkeley, local transportation in Berkeley, lodging, breakfasts, lunches
and workshop materials.
The format of this workshop is tailored to the computational
problems and needs of its participants and functionality available
in the ACTS Collection. To effectively meet our goals, the number
of participants is limited and people interested in attending
must fill out an on-line application form no later than June 11, 2004.
In addition, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows applying
for travel support must provide a letter of support from their
advisor or supervisor. This letter must also be submitted on-line
and no later than the June 11, 2004 deadline.
For more information on the workshop, please contact Tony Drummond at
(510) 486-7624 or Osni Marques at (510) 486-5290.
