Abstract registration deadline | July 13, 2018 |
Submission deadline | July 13, 2018 |
Call for Presentations: IXPUG welcomes technical submissions for 30 minute lectures and 10-15 minute lightning talks on innovative work from users in academia, industry, and government labs, describing original discoveries and experiences and methods for obtaining efficient and scalable use of extreme-scale systems. In addition to technical talks, IXPUG is soliciting submissions for half- and full-day tutorials. Tutorials should be interactive; focusing on key topics of high-performance computing, interconnects, artificial intelligence, cloud or performance evaluation.
Submission Guidelines
IXPUG is about sharing ideas, implementations, and experiences that will help users take advantage of the latest Intel technology, such as AVX512 and high-bandwidth MCDRAM memory, as well as relevant high-performance system fabrics on large-scale based systems (e.g. OmniPath). Hosted by Sandia National Lab (SNL) and Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) and held at the Intel Corporation (Hillsboro, Oregon) facility. The conference activities including a keynote, plenary, 30 minute technical lectures, 10-15 minute Lightning Talks, Posters and Tutorials. Attendees will experience an open forum, where Intel and Industry experts will share best practices and techniques used for maximizing software efficiency using Intel architecture with fellow application programmers, software developers, scientist, researchers, academic, students, data analyst, etc. The challenges surrounding application performance and scalability will be covered across all levels, including application tuning on large HPC systems.
A short abstract should be submitted by Wednesday, July 13th, 2018 and the content should reflect the topics of interest listed below. Feel free to use the Abstract Template, as a guide for conveying your content. The final presentation deadline is on September 24, 2018.
