1st International Workshop on
Approximate and Transprecision Computing on Emerging Technologies
ATCET 2018
http://oprecomp.eu/atcet
at ISC High Performance 2018
Frankfurt, Germany, June 28, 2018
Keynote speaker: Piotr Luszczek
Research Director at the University of Tennessee
Guaranteed numerical precision of each elementary step in a complex computation has been the mainstay of traditional computing systems for many years. This era is at its twilight: to overcome the “power wall” in Exascale systems, a shift from traditional computing paradigms is now mandatory.
The ATCET workshop brings together experts from many fields to discuss and explore the potential of approximation in hardware and software, from both a statistical and a deterministic viewpoint. Transprecision computing represents the paradigm shift to break the current performance and energy-efficiency barriers of systems at all scales, from sensors to supercomputers.
Topics on approximate and transprecision computing addressed in the workshop include (and are not limited to):
- Formal and mathematical methods and algorithms
- Error resilient methods and algorithms
- Emulation, metrics, modeling, and benchmarking
- Compiler and system software support
- Emerging Technologies: hardware, processor, memory, and storage
- Applications in HPC, Scientific Computing, Big Data, and Deep Learning
