The 22nd IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-21) (http://www.ieee-tcsc.org/2021/pdsec/) will be held on May 21, 2021 in Portland, Oregon in conjunction with IPDPS 2021. Given the pandemic, the conference organizers are planning for different potential scenarios, including a fully virtual conference.

Deadline: PDSEC-21 deadline: 22 Jan 2021 (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 (PDC) 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.
