PMAA18
10th International Workshop on Parallel Matrix Algorithms and Applications
10th International Workshop on Parallel Matrix Algorithms and Applications
June 27-29, 2018 // ETH Zurich // Zurich, Switzerland

Conference Overview

The Computer Science Department of ETH Zurich has the pleasure to host the

10th International Workshop on Parallel Matrix Algorithms and Applications (PMAA18).

The workshop aims at being a forum for an exchange of ideas, insights and experiences in different areas of parallel computing (Multicores, Manycores and GPUs) and applications in which matrix algorithms are employed.

The PMAA18 workshop will bring together experts and researchers from diverse disciplines with a common interest in matrix computation. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss recent developments in various aspects of parallel matrix algorithms and to bring together mathematicians, computational scientists and engineers. The workshop will focus on

  • Parallel methods for solving large sparse or dense linear systems of equations.
  • Parallel eigenvalue and singular value computations.
  • Automatic tuning and performance modeling.
  • Novel architectural paradigms (e.g. GPUs or multicores) and their use in matrix computations and applications.
  • Large scale scientific applications from diverse fields which have an emphasis on parallel matrix computation.

We invite you to submit scientific contributions in all fields of numerical analysis, scientific and industrial applications, software development, and high performance computing. From the submissions received, the Organizing Committee will select papers to be presented as oral contributions. We hope that this opportunity to present and discuss science will interest you, and we look forward to seeing you in Zurich!

PASC18 Conference

The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) Conference at the Congress Center Basel, July 2-4, 2018

PASC18 is the fifth edition of the PASC Conference series, an international platform for the exchange of competences in scientific computing and computational science, with a strong focus on methods, tools, algorithms, application challenges, and novel techniques and usage of high performance computing.

The theme of PASC18 is Fast and Big Data, Fast and Big Computation, emphasizing our vision of the close coupling of data and computation. Exposing and expressing massive and irregular parallelism in computational problems are key challenges for exploiting the massive and heterogeneous parallelism available in current, and expected in future, HPC systems, as well as to find new ways of generating scientific insight from data and models. Through its rich and interactive program, PASC18 aims to highlight the computational approaches that computational scientists, computer scientists, and practitioners employ today and will employ over the next decades to address these challenges.

Proceedings

Parallel Computing (Elsevier) will publish a Special Issue devoted to PMAA 2018. Papers submitted to the special issue must have a strong parallel computing and numerical linear algebra component. The topics to be covered in the issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Parallel methods for solving large sparse or dense linear systems of equations.
  • Parallel eigenvalue and singular value computations.
  • Automatic tuning and performance modeling.
  • Novel architectural paradigms (e.g. GPU and multicore) and their use in matrix computations and applications.
  • Large scale scientific applications from diverse fields which have an emphasis on parallel matrix computation.

Manuscripts will undergo the standard Parallel Computing peer-reviewing process. They must be submitted electronically via Elsevier's online submission system at Parallel Computing special PMAA'18 issue.
Papers solicited in this call for papers are not restricted to the contributions presented during the Workshop. Submissions from other researchers, which fit the scope of this special issue, are also welcome.

The managing guest editor of this special issue is Olaf Schenk. Further editors are Luc Giraud (Inria, Bordeaux), Wim Vanroose (University of Antwerp), and Peter Arbenz (ETH Zurich). For any questions, please contact Olaf Schenk.
