Parallel Symbolic Computation 2010 (PASCO 2010)
July 21-23, 2010 -- Grenoble, France
Second Announcement and
C A L L f o r P A P E R S
News: - PASCO 2010 Programming contest - PASCO 2010 in cooperation with ACM
Overview:
The International Workshop on Parallel and Symbolic Computation (PASCO) is a series of workshops dedicated to the promotion and advancement of parallel algorithms and software in all areas of symbolic mathematical computation. The pervasive ubiquity of parallel architectures and memory hierarchy has led to the emergence of a new quest for parallel mathematical algorithms and software capable of exploiting the various levels of parallelism: from hardware acceleration technologies (multi- core and multi-processor system on chip, GPGPU, FPGA) to cluster and global computing platforms. To push up the limits of symbolic and algebraic computations, beyond the optimization of the application itself, the effective use of a large number of resources --memory and general or specialized computing units-- is expected to enhance the performance multi-criteria objectives: time, energy consumption, resource usage, reliability. In this context, the design and the implementation of mathematical algorithms with provable and adaptive performances is a major challenge.
Earlier meetings in the PASCO series include PASCO'94 (Linz, Austria), PASCO'97 (Maui, U.S.A.), PASCO'07 (London, Canada). PASCO 2010 is affiliated with the 2010 International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC) in Munich, Germany. Immediately prior to the ISSAC 2010 meeting, PASCO will be held in Grenoble, France.
The workshop PASCO 2010 will be a three-day event including invited presentations and tutorials, contributed research papers and posters, and a programming contest. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: * Design and analysis of parallel algorithms for computer algebra * Practical parallel implementation of symbolic or symbolic-numeric algorithms * High-performance software tools and libraries for computer algebra * Applications of high-performance computer algebra * Distributed data-structures for computer algebra * Hardware acceleration technologies (multi-cores, GPUs, FPGAs) applied to computer algebra * Cache complexity and cache-oblivious algorithms for computer algebra * Compile-time and run-time techniques for automating optimization and platform adaptation of computer algebra algorithms
Call for Papers:
The conference invites submission of papers presenting original research, either in the form of extended abstracts (2 pages) or full papers (up to 10 pages) in ACM format. As in previous years, PASCO 2010 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers.
The PASCO 2010 Conference proceedings will be published by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) http://www.acm.org/ and will be made available in the ACM Digital Library.
Programming Contest:
A programming contest will be organized during the PASCO 2010 meeting. Each participating team will be competing on one or more programming challenges proposed by the organizing committee and by the participants. Details can be found at the PASCO 2010 web site.
