Event Description: The Intel eXtreme Performance Users Group (IXPUG) is an active community led forum for sharing industry best practices, techniques, tools, etc. for maximizing efficiency on Intel platforms and products. IXPUG Workshop at HPC Asia 2022 is an open workshop on high performance computing applications, systems, and architecture with Intel technologies. This is a half-day workshop with invited talks and contributed papers. The workshop aims to bring together software developers and technology experts to share challenges, experiences and best-practice methods for the optimization of HPC, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics workloads on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors, Intel® FPGA, and any related hardware/software platforms. The workshop will cover application performance and scalability challenges at all levels - from intra-node performance up to large-scale compute systems. Any research aspect related to Intel HPC products is welcome to be presented in this workshop.

Call for Papers

IXPUG is soliciting submissions for technical presentations on innovative work using Intel architecture from users in academia, industry, government/national labs, etc. describing original discoveries, experiences, and methods for obtaining efficient and scalable use of heterogeneous systems. IXPUG welcomes full papers up to 18 pages within 30 minutes presentation and also welcomes short papers 7-8 pages within 15 minutes presentation. Please submit your paper to IXPUG via EasyChair. We welcome topics on Intel architecture, including but not limited to the following topics of interest:

• Paper Topics of Interest
  • Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning / Deep Learning)
  • Application porting and performance optimization
  • Vectorization, memory, communications, thread, and process management
  • Multi-node application experiences
  • Programming models, algorithms, and methods
  • Software environment and tools
  • Benchmarking and profiling tools
  • Visualization development
