Scope and Interests: 
  The field of high performance computing has been prominent since the
  1940s, and has become increasingly significant as recent advances in
  electronic and integrated circuit technologies have made it more
  widely accessible. The hardware is becoming faster, less expensive
  and more cost effective, which will result in a proliferation in the
  application of parallel and distributed systems. Scientific and
  engineering application domains play a key role in shaping future
  research and development activities in academia and industry,
  especially when the solution of large and complex problems must cope
  with tight timing constraints.  This workshop will bring together
  computer scientists, applied mathematicians and researchers to
  present, discuss and exchange ideas, results, work in progress and
  experiences in the area of parallel and distributed computing for
  problems in science and engineering applications and
  inter-disciplinary applications.

Topics of interest include (but not limited to):
   - Development of advanced parallel and distributed algorithms,
   applications and middleware
   - Scientific and engineering computing on HPC architectures, including
   supercomputers, clusters, manycores, multicores, GPUs, FPGAs, etc
   - Practical experiences using various parallel and distributed
   programming models such as CAF, UPC, Global Arrays, Chapel, Cilk, Intel
   TBB, X10, Charm++, etc
   - Asynchronous many task programming models and their use case studies
   - Resilient algorithm, applications and programming models 
   - Compiler, hardware and OS issues for scientific and engineering
   computing
