FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
PPAM 2011
9th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS
September 11-14, 2011, Torun, Poland
The PPAM 2011 conference, ninth 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, and cloud computing.
PPAM is a biennial conference started in 1994, with the proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Sciences series. This year the conference will take place in Torun, the beautiful old city on the Vistula river, located in northern Poland, where the great astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was born.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited) to:
- Parallel/distributed architectures, enabling technologies
- Cloud computing
- Multi-core and many-core parallel computing
- GPU computing
- Impact of FPGAs on HPC
- Cluster computing
- Parallel/distributed algorithms: numerical and non-numerical
- Scheduling, mapping, load balancing
- Performance analysis and prediction
- Performance issues on various types of parallel systems
- Autotuning: methods, tools, and applications
- Parallel/distributed programming
- Tools and environments for parallel/distributed computing
- Security and dependability in parallel/distributed environments
- HPC numerical linear algebra
- HPC methods of solving differential equations
- Evolutionary computing, meta-heuristics and neural networks
- Interval analysis
- Applied Computing in mechanics, material processing, biology and
- medicine, physics, chemistry, business, environmental modeling, etc.
- Applications for parallel/distributed computing
- Methods and tools for parallel solution of large-scale problems
