WHAT: EuroMPI 2011 Conference
WHERE: Santorini, Greece
WHEN: September 18-21, 2011
URL: www.eurompi2011.org

BACKGROUND AND TOPICS

EuroMPI is the primary meeting where the users and developers of MPI and other message-passing programming environments can interact. The 18th European MPI Users’ Group Meeting will be a forum for the users and developers of MPI, but also welcome hybrid programing models that combine message passing with programming of modern architectures such as multi-core, or accelerators.

Through the presentation of contributed papers, poster presentations and invited talks, attendees will have the opportunity to share ideas and experiences to contribute to the improvement and furthering of message-passing and related parallel programming paradigms.

Topics of interest for the meeting include:

• Algorithms using the message-passing paradigm
• Applications in science and engineering based on message-passing
• User experiences in programming heterogeneous systems using MPI
• Tools and environments for programming heterogeneous systems using MPI
• MPI implementation issues and improvements
• Latest extensions to MPI
• MPI for high-performance computing, clusters and grid environments
• New message-passing and hybrid parallel programming paradigms
• Interaction between message-passing software and hardware
• Fault tolerance in message-passing programs
• Performance evaluation of MPI applications
• Tools and environments for MPI

Four invited talks will be given by

• Pete Beckman, Director, Exascale Technology and Computing Institute
• George Bosilca, Research Professor, Innovative Computing Laboratory,UTK
• Michael Resch, Director, High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS)
• Sudip Dosanjh, Senior Manager, Sandia National Laboratories

In the scientific program 29 selected papers will be presented, including two best papers, and 9 poster/short presentations.

The Special Session on Improving MPI User And Developer Interaction (IMUDI) will be held in conjunction with EuroMPI (http://press.mcs.anl.gov/imudi2011/cfp/) on Wednesday 21st September. In IMUDI two invited talks will be given and three papers will be presented.
