NSF Workshop on Research Directions in the Principles of Parallel Computation
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
June 28, 2012
This workshop will bring together researchers from academia and
industry to discuss key research challenges in the foundations of
parallel computing, and research directions to possibly address these
challenges. The workshop will address several issues described in
NSF's Advanced
Computing Infrastructure Strategic Plan including, but not limited
to, computational models, programming languages, rethinking the
canonical computing "stack", and new algorithmic paradigms.
The workshop is sponsored by NSF.
The workshop will take place immediately following the
SPAA 2012 (24th ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures).
We will be sharing the same venue on the Carnegie Mellon Campus.
The workshop will be organized as a sequence of relatively short talks
by invited speakers each who have been asked to address the question:
"what are three big research challenges in the principles of parallel
computing?"
