================================================
Eighth IEEE Workshop on
High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing (HP-PAC)

May 21, 2012

to be held in conjunction with IPDPS
May 21 - 25, 2012
Shanghai, China
================================================

SCOPE
-----

High-performance computing is and has always been  performance-
oriented. However, a consequence of the push towards maximum
performance is increased energy consumption, especially in
datacenters and supercomputing centers.  Moreover, as peak
performance is rarely attained, some of this energy consumption
results in little or no performance gain. In addition, large energy
consumption costs datacenters and supercomputing centers a
significant amount of money and wastes natural resources.

The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the
exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in
high-performance, power-aware computing (HPPAC).  HPPAC will present
research that reduces (1) power consumption, (2) energy consumption,
or (3) heat generation with little or no performance penalty in
high-performance computing systems.  In effect, the workshop aims to
move towards "greener" solutions for datacenters and supercomputing
centers.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following.

. Novel power-aware architectures for HPC
. Power-aware middleware for HPC
. Power-aware runtime systems for HPC
. Reduced power/energy/heat algorithms & applications
. Surveys or studies of power/energy/heat usage of HPC applications    
and systems

PROCEEDINGS
-----------

The proceedings of this workshop will be published together with
the proceedings of other IPDPS '10 workshops by the IEEE Computer
Society Press.
