Dear All:
The deadline for papers to be submitted to the 21st IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-20) has been extended to February 14, 2020. See http://cse.stfx.ca/~pdsec20/<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http:%2F%2Fcse.stfx.ca%…> .
It will be held on May 22, 2020 in New Orleans in conjunction with IPDPS 2020.
Deadline:
PDSEC-20 deadline (extended): 14 Feb 2020 (AoE)
Scope and Interests:
The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicates an increasing burden placed on application developers due to the management of the unprecedented complexity levels of hardware and its associated performance characteristics. Many existing scientific applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The parallel and distributed computing community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these challenges in order to accommodate productive code development and effective system use. However, the scientific application community still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluations. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability.

GrAPL 2020: Workshop on Graphs, Architectures, Programming, and Learning
https://hpc.pnl.gov/grapl/
May 18, 2020
Co-Located with IPDPS 2020
New Orleans
Louisiana, USA
GrAPL is the result of the combination of two IPDPS workshops:
GABB: Graph Algorithms Building Blocks
GraML: Workshop on The Intersection of Graph Algorithms and Machine Learning
******************************************************************************
SUMMARY
-------
Data analytics is one of the fastest growing segments of computer science. Many real-world analytic workloads are a mix of graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop’s scope is broad and encompasses the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows.
This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. In particular, we are interested, but not limited to the following topics:
• Provide tractability and performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows;
• Discuss the problem domains and problems addressable with graph methods, machine learning methods, or both;
• Discuss programming models and associated frameworks such as Pregel, Galois, Boost, GraphBLAS, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs;
• Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms;
• Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning;
Besides regular papers, short papers (up to four pages) describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.

*Call for Papers : Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics &
Engineering Workshop @ CGI 2020 – 23rd June 2020*
CGI 2020 URL: http://www.cgs-network.org/cgi20/
Since ACM SIGGRAPH2001 and 2003 conferences, there has been limited
attention on the benefits of employing W. K. Clifford’s geometric
algebras (GA), quaternions and octonions in solving computer graphics
and vision problems. In the meantime, the geometric algebra community
focused on GA applications and greatly advanced it as an adequate and
viable computing technology. The Workshops at CGI’2016 on “Geometric
Algebra in Computer Science and Engineering” and at CGI’2017, 2018, 2019
on “Empowering Novel Geometric Algebra for Graphics & Engineering” began
to bridge that gap.
Under the auspices of *CGI’20 *(22-25 June), ENGAGE (Empowering Novel
Geometric Algebra for Graphics & Engineering) on *June 23rd* in Geneva,
Switzerland, will again engage in a multi-disciplinary approach from
mathematics, applied to computer graphics, computer vision and general
computer science fields where GA has strong potential to answer existing
mathematical problems.
GA is in a particularly well suited to allow cross-disciplinary
solutions in software engineering as it provides an intuitive and
insightful common denominator across mathematical disciplines that have
often advanced application specific. Understanding GA enables us to
relate distinct, seemingly incompatible paths by providing a common
mathematical base. We invite original contributors in the form of full
and short papers, which advance the state-of-the-art of the application
of geometric algebra as well as of its computing technology in *topics
related, but not limited to:*
* Feature Detection & Data Analysis
* LIDAR and Point Cloud Algorithms
* Scientific & Information Visualization
* Computer graphics rendering
* Computer animation and video processing
* Holographic optics & Holographic maps
* Geographic Information Systems
* Soundscape & Electromagnetic landscape Modelling
* Augmented and Virtual Reality
* Application of Clifford Fourier transforms and Clifford wavelets to
2D and 3D images, including color images
* Higher dimensional geometric algebras
* GA Computing and Quantum Computing
* GA hardware implementations
* GA for Artificial Intelligence
* GA for ubiquitous information processing
* GA for Big Data processing & visualization
* Other engineering/applied science applications using GA
Authors should submit short and full papers directly to the CGI
conference LNCS proceedings, by April 7th deadline. All authors of
accepted ENGAGE related papers will be invited either to an oral or
poster presentation. For Springer LNCS CGI proceedings author
instructions please refer to http://www.cgs-network.org/cgi20/?page_id=1359.
Post workshop extended and more advanced ENGAGE papers (15 pages plus)
can be published in the topical collection “Geometric Algebra for
Computing, Graphics and Engineering” of the Journal Advances in Applied
Clifford Algebras (AACA), published by Birkhauser, and should have been
orally presented at the conference. See the “Instruction for Authors” at
AACA. Online paper submission at
https://www.editorialmanager.com/aaca/Default.aspx has deadline of
October 31, 2020. At the time of submission, authors must indicate the
topical collection “ENGAGE 2020-Geometric Algebra for Computing,
Graphics and Engineering”.
