Subject: Blaze 2.3 Released

Version 2.3 of the Blaze C++ math library has been released. This
version finally comes with the much requested feature of lower and
upper triangular matrices. And they come with full support within the
Blaze library: Specifically adapted and optimized compute kernels and
full support for parallelization via OpenMP, C++11 and Boost
threads. Also noteworthy: The implementation is thoroughly checked by
748 new test cases.

See the Blaze tutorial for how the new LowerMatrix and UpperMatrix
adaptors work:
http://code.google.com/p/blaze-lib/wiki/Triangular_Matrices

Blaze 2.3 is now available for download at

The 1st European Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Computing
Education for Undergraduate Students (Euro-EDUPAR) invites unpublished
manuscripts from individuals or teams from academia, industry, and
other educational and research institutes on topics pertaining to the
teaching of PDC topics in the Computer Science and Engineering
curriculum as well as in Computational Science and with PDC and high
performance computing (HPC) concepts, with emphasis on European
undergraduate teaching, and the workshop especially seeks papers that
report on experiences incorporating PDC topics into undergraduate core
courses taken by the majority of students on a degree course. Methods,
pedagogical approaches, tools, and techniques that have potential for
adoption across the European teaching community are of interest.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Parallel and
Distributed Computing teaching in the European space; Pedagogical
issues in PDC, educational methods and learning mechanisms; Novel ways
of teaching PDC topics, including informal learning environments;
Curriculum design, models for incorporating PDC topics in core CS/CE
curriculum; Experience with incorporating PDC topics into core CS/CE
courses; Experience with incorporating PDC topics in the context of
other applications learning; Pedagogical tools, programming
environments, and languages for PDC; e-Learning, e-Laboratory, Massive
Open Online Courses (MOOC), Small Private Online Courses (SPOC); PDC
experiences at non-university levels; secondary school, postgraduate,
industry, diffusion of PDC

Subject: deal.II Users and Developers Workshop, USA, Aug 2015

The Fifth deal.II Users' and Developers' workshop will be held August
3-7, 2015 in College Station, TX. The intent of this workshop is to
discuss applications and tools using deal.II, as well as future
directions of the library itself.

We invite talks and plan discussions by users and existing developers
in the following areas:
- use cases and applications of the library
- what users think would be useful directions for the library to go
  into, things that are missing, and possibly getting people together
  who can help implement those parts
- newer parts of the library (e.g., cmake, large parallel
  computations, etc.) and how these could help in your programs.

A significant part of the time will be set aside for "hackathon"- or
"code jam"-style sessions where people can ask questions, work on
their codes with others, and receive help from experienced users.

For workshop and registration information, see
  http://dealii.org/workshop-2015/index.html
Deadline for registration: April 15, 2015.

A limited amount of (domestic) travel support is available courtesy of
the National Science Foundation, and will be given on a first come
first serve basis, with preference to undergraduate and graduate
students. If you need support, please state so in your registration.

Subject: Hybrid Parallelism in HPC Systems, Poland, Sep 2015

Date: September 6-9, 2015
Location: Krakow, Poland
Jointly with: 11th International Conference on Parallel Processing and
Applied Mathematics PPAM 2015
Website: http://www.dma.unina.it/mamhyp
Submission deadline: April 20, 2015

You are cordially invited to participate in our upcoming workshop on
Models, Algorithms and Methodologies for Hybrid Parallelism in new HPC
Systems (MAMHIP15)

The workshop focuses on all aspects related to development of hybrid
and hierarchical algorithms, able to be aware of the underlying
architectures of modern HPC systems. These can be described by means
of a hierarchical and hybrid arhitectures, where multicore CPUs live
together with special purpose floating point accelerators or GPUs in
large clusters.  These architecture levels have very different
features so that the development of efficient algorithms for these
systems is still a challanging problem.

The topics include, but are not limited, to: Hybrid and hierarchical
based parallel algorithms, Architecture-aware parallelisation on HPC
platforms, Auto tuning techniques for heterogeneous and parallel
environments, Computational kernels for scientific computing and
applications, Resources virtualization, Performance and scalability
models.

The authors of selected papers of this Workshop will be invited to
submit an extended version of their work to a Special Issue of the
"International Journal of Parallel Programming"
