[Cuga] Announcement for Workshop on Parallelism---a message from David Lawrence

[Rachel Harris]

Dear JLab Users, Staff and Students,

     This is the second announcement inviting you to participate in the 
workshop:

     Parallelism in Experimental Nuclear Physics
     Jan. 6-7, 2011
     Christopher Newport University
     Newport News, VA

The workshop will be focused on parallelization in modern and 
near-future computing hardware and software. These technologies can be 
leveraged by next generation Experimental Nuclear Physics projects which 
will produce RHIC and LHC level data volumes. The workshop will take 
place at Christopher Newport University which is 5 minutes away from the 
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab).

The workshop will consist of a full day of talks and discussion with an 
evening reception. The optional second day will consist of a tutorial on 
using software developed for the GlueX experiment in Hall-D which 
contains multiple parallelizing technologies (multi-threading, SIMD 
instructions, and GPUs).

Topics include:

     Compilers and Performance Tools
     GPUs
     Multi-threading
     Vectorization/SIMD
     Distributed Computing
     Parallelism in DAQ systems
     Parallelism in Simulation

We will have speakers from Intel, Fermilab, and Rutherford Appleton Labs 
as well as local JLab experts.

Registration Deadline January 1, 2011
No registration fee
Some student travel support available
