5th Workshop on Productivity and Performance Tools for HPC Application Development (PROPER 2012)

http://www.vi-hps.org/proper2012ws/ at Euro-Par 2012 Conference,

Rhodes island, Greece,

27-31 August 2012

** Submission Deadline: June 4th 2012 **

Driven by current trends in microprocessor design, the number of processor cores available on modern supercomputers grows rapidly from generation to generation while the amount of memory per core will be degrading. To keep pace, applications need to harness much higher degrees of parallelism while ensuring efficient use of the underlying computing resources. Writing code that runs correctly and efficiently on large numbers of processors and cores is extraordinarily challenging. The increased concurrency levels place higher demands on the application development process and thus require adequate tool support for debugging and performance analysis. The PROPER workshop will serve as a forum to present novel work on scalable methods and tools for high-performance computing. The workshop covers parallel program development and analysis, debugging, correctness checking, and performance measurement and evaluation. Further topics include the integration of tools with compilers and the overall development environment, as well as success stories reporting application performance, scalability, reliability, or productivity improvements that have been achieved using tools.

Workshop Topics:

* Tools and tool approaches for parallel program development and analysis

* Correctness checking

* Performance measurement and evaluation

* Success stories about optimization or parallel scalability achieved using tools

The workshop is supported by the Virtual Institute - High Productivity Supercomputing (VI-HPS), an initiative to promote the development and integration of HPC programming tools.
