“Spectre” and “Meltdown” Processor Vulnerabilities

Cray are actively working with their suppliers to gather more information and are obtaining updates as they address these vulnerabilities. Further information can be found at: https://www.cray.com/company/news-and-media/spectre-and-meltdown-processor-vulnerabilities and we will be back in touch when we have any further updates.

PASC18 - Call for Submissions

The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) is pleased to announce that submissions are open for the PASC18 Conference, co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). Submissions are invited for papers, minisymposia and poster presentations. PASC18 will be held from July 02 to 04, 2018, at the Congress Center Basel, Switzerland.

Conference

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.

Contributions

PASC18 welcomes submissions for minisymposium, paper, and poster contributions that demonstrate innovative research in scientific computing related to the following scientific domains:

  • Chemistry and Materials
  • Life Sciences
  • Physics
  • Climate and Weather
  • Solid Earth Dynamics
  • Engineering
  • Computer Science and Applied Mathematics
  • Emerging Applications Domains (e.g. Social Sciences, Finance,…)

Upcoming Submission Deadlines

  • Papers: January 19, 2018
  • Posters: February 4, 2018

Full Call for Submissions

Further details are available on the conference website.
