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 22 May 2015: Paper submission deadline 19 June 2015: Author notification 31 July 2015: Paper due, for informal workshop proceedings 2 October 2015: Camera-ready paper deadline ------------------------------------------------------- From: Wolfgang Bangerth [log in to unmask] Date: March 13, 2015 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.

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" ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jim Nagy [log in to unmask] Date: March 10, 2015 Subject: SIAM Applied Linear Algebra, USA, Oct 2015 The deadline for minisymposia proposals for the SIAM Conference on Applied Linear Algebra is March 30.
