Register now for the 2016 KAUST Workshop on Scalable Hierarchical Algorithms for Extreme Computing (SHAXC 2016)
The evolving world of computing hardware used throughout high-end simulations and data analytics requires a new software infrastructure. Moore’s Law adapts by expanding core count more rapidly than memory capacity and memory bandwidth, limiting the performance of conventional algorithms. The seeds of the new scientific software infrastructure were planted decades ago, and much of the mathematics has been developed in the form of multigrid, fast multipole and hierarchically low-rank matrices. How effectively, however, does this mathematics map onto increasingly hierarchical memory systems and dynamic runtime systems? International experts join for this discussion at SHAXC 2016.
SHAXC 2016 is organized by the KAUST Extreme Computing Research Center (ECRC), with sponsorship from the KAUST Office of Research Services and the KAUST Industrial Collaboration Program.
The ECRC operates on two fronts:
- Performing basic research and developing algorithms and software that will enable today’s applications to migrate to the exascale systems that are expected by early next decade
- Enabling KAUST’s scientific and engineering simulation campaigns to exploit today’s state-of-the-practice petascale systems, such as the University’s Cray XC40 supercomputer Shaheen II, currently ranked #9 on the Top500.
