| Abstract | In the past, the computational requirements of important scientific applications have often driven innovations in high performance computing. Presently major changes in computer architectures are taking place that are often driven by consumer electronics. In addition as systems continue to scale in size, we expect that power consumption will become a major concern for future generation supercomputers. Current systems consume more than a Megawatt per Petaflop. Reaching Exascale levels of computation - a 100x improvement in performance from today - will not be possible if power requirements continue to scale like today. The optimization of power and energy at all levels, from application to system software and to hardware at both processor and system scales is required. The challenges ahead are many-fold. Increasing parallelism, memory systems, interconnection networks, storage and uncertainties in programming models all add to the complexities. The recent trend with integrating accelerators in large-scale systems provides additional challenges in marshaling the increased parallelism and data movements. The interplay between performance, power, and reliability also leads to complex trade-offs. This workshop aims at reviewing the latest development of HPC systems, that in the near future may evolve in directions substantially different from today's paradigms. We are interested in assessing their potential impact on scientific computing. |
