Tenth Workshop on the DOE Advanced Computational Software Collection Leveraging the Development of Computational Science and Engineering Software Through Sustainable High Performance Tools Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), August 18-21, 2009
http://acts.nersc.gov/events/Workshop2009
The Advanced CompuTational Software (ACTS) Collection comprises a set of non commercial tools mainly developed at the Department of Energy's (DOE) laboratories, sometimes in collaboration with universities. These software tools aim to simplify the solution of common and important computational problems, and have substantially benefited a wide range of applications and fields in computational sciences. These benefits are accounted not only for applications running efficiently on high performing computing environments but also realizing computation that would not have been possible otherwise. Nowadays, with the introduction of hardware technologies such as of multi-core, the use of software libraries is key in the development of high end software applications. This is because libraries provide a level of software abstractions in which the robustness, scalability and portability can be easily and reliably passed into the application codes across a large class of computer platforms.
The 10th ACTS Collection workshop will be a four-day workshop and will include a range of tutorials on the tools currently available in the collection, discussion sessions aimed to solve specific computational needs by the workshop participants, and hands-on practices using NERSC's state-of-the-art computers.
The workshop is opened to computational scientists from industry and academia. Registration fees are fully sponsored by the DOE's Office of Science. In addition, DOE will sponsor travel expenses and lodging for a limited number of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For more information on the workshop, please contact Tony Drummond at (510) 486-7624 or email acts-AT-nersc-DOT-gov.
This year's workshop will be held in collaboration with CSE program at LBNL and the Center For Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) at the University of California, Berkeley
