2nd CfP and extended deadline
9th Workshop on
PARALLEL/HIGH-PERFORMANCE OBJECT-ORIENTED SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING
(POOSC'10)
October 18, 2010
Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity
(SPLASH--formerly OOPSLA)
October 17-21, 2010, Renoe-Tahoe Nevada, USA

While object-oriented programming has been embraced in industry,
particularly in
the form of C++, Java, and Python, its acceptance by the parallel scientific
programming community has been relatively slow. Nonetheless, various
factors
practically dictate the use of language features that provide higher level
abstractions than do C or older FORTRAN standards. These include
increasingly
complex physics models, numerical algorithms, and hardware, e.g. deep memory
hierarchies, ever-increasing numbers of processors, the advent of multi-core
processors; more recently the use of heterogeneous architectures using
the IBM
Cell/BE or GP-GPUs, and soon the experimentation with many-core processors.
This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners in this
growing and evolving field to `compare notes' on their work. The
emphasis is on
how object-oriented programming can benefit scientific computing
specifically:
new or novel frameworks, approaches, techniques, or idioms that use object
orientation. Multi-paradigmatic approaches are also of definite interest.
Presentations of work in progress are welcome.

Subject: Preconditioning Techniques, Bordeaux, France, May 2011
Call for papers for the
7th International Conference on Preconditioning Techniques (Precond'2011)
Paper submission due: December 17, 2010
Notification of acceptance: January 17, 2011
Conference: May 16--18, 2011 in Bordeaux, France
Further informations:
http://precond11.bordeaux.inria.fr
This conference is a sequel to six successful "preconditioning"
meetings (one every two years) which address complex issues related to
the solution of general sparse matrix problems in large-scale
applications and in industrial settings. The goal of the conference
is to exchange ideas on recent developments in preconditioning
techniques for sparse linear systems of equations, and to a lesser
extent for eigenvalue problems. Precond-11 will highlight two important
themes related to the full exploitation of petaflop-scale computers
for solving large sparse matrix problems. The first of these themes
is 'multi-core programming' and the second is 'graph and mesh
partitioning'.
