WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

The 2nd International Workshop on Post Moore's Era Supercomputing

(PMES) follows the very successful initial PMES16 workshop at SC16.

This interdisciplinary workshop is organized to explore the scientific

issues, challenges, and opportunities for supercomputing beyond the

scaling limits of Moore's Law, with the ultimate goal of keeping

supercomputing at the forefront of computing technologies beyond the

physical and conceptual limits of current systems. Continuing progress

of supercomputing beyond the scaling limits of Moore's Law is likely

to require a comprehensive re-thinking of technologies, ranging from

innovative materials and devices, circuits, system architectures,

programming systems, system software, and applications.

The workshop is designed to foster interdisciplinary dialog across the

necessary spectrum of stakeholders: applications, algorithms,

software, and hardware. Motivating workshop questions will include the

following. "What technologies might prevail in the Post Moore's Era?"

"How can applications effectively prepare for these changes through

co-design?" "What architectural abstractions should be in place to

represent the traditional concepts like hierarchical parallelism,

multi-tier data locality, and new concepts like variable precision,

approximate solutions, and resource tradeoff directives?" "What

programming models might insulate applications from these changes?"

Experts from academia, government, and industry in the fields of

computational science, mathematics, engineering, and computer science

will have the opportunity to participate in the workshop as a

presenter, panelist, or audience member. Invited speakers will provide

insights and challenges from their disciplinary perspectives, while

peer-reviewed position papers on promising ideas will be presented to

facilitate community interaction and diversity. Panel sessions will

provide opportunities for interactions across disciplines and

provocative questions from the audience.

WORKSHOP TOPICS

and memory-based computing

- Exploiting nonlinear dynamics and chaos in device behavior

- Reversible, adiabatic, and ballistic computing

- Integration of device technologies including approaches in stacking,

interposers, etc.

- PMES application drivers from computational science, data intensive,

deep learning

- Programming paradigms for PMES systems

- Cross-cutting topics like methodologies and tools for codesign,

design automation, modeling, simulation, emulation, or benchmarking of

PMES systems

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as

technical or experience papers not exceeding 6 pages of content. The

6-page limit includes figures, tables and appendices, but does not

include acknowledgements or references, for which there is no page

limit. Submissions must use the ACM proceedings template available at

http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. (This is the

same template as SC17 Technical Papers format [except the page

limits].)

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is

not currently under review for any other venue. Papers not following

these guidelines will be rejected without review. Submissions received

after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately

structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an

accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Authors may

contact the workshop organizers for more information. Submissions are

single-blind. (Author names should be included on the submission.)

Papers should be submitted electronically in EasyChair at

http://bit.ly/pmes17submit.
