The 2nd Workshop on "Frontiers of Multi-Core Computing" (FMC II)
University of Maryland, Baltimore County, September 22-23, 2010
Multi- (e.g., Intel Westmere and IBM Power7) and many-core (e.g., NVIDIA Tesla and
AMD FireStream GPUs) microprocessors are enabling more compute- and data-intensive
computation in desktop computers, clusters, and leadership supercomputers. However
efficient utilization of these microprocessors is still a very challenging issue.
Their differing architectures require significantly different programming paradigms
when adapting real-world applications. The actual porting costs are actively debated,
as well as the relative performance between GPUs and CPUs.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for academic researchers, industrials,
and funding agencies to exchange ideas, discuss, and develop the strategies for coping
with those challenges.
Topics of interests include (but not limited to)
-GPU vs. CPU: performance, porting effort, and productivity
-Heterogeneous Parallel Programming Paradigms
-Petaflop Computing and Beyond
-Data-Intensive Computing
-Extreme Environmental Modeling and Simulation
-Situation Awareness Simulations
-Web based Computations for Personalized Medicine
-Social and Eco-Physics
-Developments in 3-D Depth Information
-Bringing multi/many-core applications and programming to the "missing middle"
