PPAM 2024 Special Award for the best paper presented at the First PPAM Workshop on RISC-V

Based on the reviewers’ reports, the Workshop chairs decided to give this award, including 400 euros funded by sponsors - Codasip and Semidynamics, to the paper:

  • Pablo Vizcaino Serrano, Filippo Mantovani, Jesus Labarta, Roger Ferrer - RAVE: RISC-V Analyzer of Vector Executions, a QEMU tracing plugin

PPAM Best Paper Award

The International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics (PPAM) Best Paper Award is given upon recommendation of the PPAM Chairs and Program Committee in recognition of the research paper quality, originality and significance of the work in high performance computing.

The PPAM Best Paper was first awarded at PPAM 2019 in Bialystok.

PPAM 20224 Winner for Main Track

  • Sergio Iserte, Iker Martín Álvarez, Krzysztof Rojek, José I. Aliaga, Maribel Castillo and Antonio J. Peña - Towards the Democratization and Standardization of Dynamic Resources with MPI Spawning

PPAM 2024 Winner for Workshops

  • Mario Rüttgers, Fabian Hübenthal, Makoto Tsubokura and Andreas Lintermann - Parallel reinforcement learning and Gaussian process regression for improved physics-based nasal surgery planning

PPAM 2024 Winner for Student Paper

  • Gabriel Hévr and Ivan Šimeček - PPQSort: Pattern Parallel Quicksort

To stimulate potential authors' interest in submitting high-quality articles to the PPAM conference, one author of each winning paper will receive a significant reduction in the conference fee for the next PPAM conference. As we have three winning papers in PPAM 2024, one author of each work gets at least a 50% discount on the conference fee for PPAM 2026.


PPAM 2024
15th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS

PPAM2024 OVERVIEW

The PPAM 2024 conference, fifteenth in a series, will cover topics in parallel and distributed processing, including theory and applications, as well as applied mathematics. The focus will be on models, algorithms, and software tools which facilitate efficient and convenient utilization of modern parallel and distributed computing architectures, as well as on large-scale applications. A special attention is expected to be given to the future of computing beyond Moore's Law, and AI/ML approaches in high performance computing.

PPAM is a biennial conference started in 1994, with the proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences series. The PPAM Proceedings are indexed in main databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and DBLP.

PPAM 2024 is expected to be an in-person conference with the possibility of remote participation. However, we strongly encourage in-person participation, as PPAM also has very compelling networking aspects and a social and cultural program.

The organizers will provide shuttles between Krakow airport and conference hotels in Ostrava.
