Topic 11. Parallel Numerical Methods and Applications
The need for high-performance computations is driven by the need for large-scale simulations and data analysis in science and engineering, finance, life sciences, etc. This demand requires to design highly scalable numerical methods and algorithms that are able to efficiently exploit modern computer architectures. The scalability of these algorithms and methods and their suitability to efficiently utilize the available high-performance, but in general heterogeneous, computer resources, is a key point to improve the performance of Computational Science and Engineering applications.
This conference topic aims at providing a forum for presenting and discussing recent developments in parallel numerical algorithms and their implementation on current parallel architectures, including many-core and hybrid architectures. We encourage submissions that address algorithmic design, implementation details, performance analysis, as well as integration of parallel numerical methods in large-scale science and engineering applications.
