Call for Participation ScalA@SC: 12th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
by Engelmann, Christian 29 Oct '21

29 Oct '21

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ScalA21: 12th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems held in conjunction with the SC21: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC) November 19, 2021, St. Louis, MO, USA (Virtual Event) <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2021> Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points. With the advent of Big Data and AI in the past few years the need of such scalable mathematical methods and algorithms able to handle data and compute intensive applications at scale becomes even more important. Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation.
