A Workshop
on Novel Data Formats and Algorithms
for High Performance Computing

organized by
Fred Gustavson and Jerzy Wasniewski

Abstract: Recently, several novel data formats were introduced into the area of High Performance Numerical Computing with the intent of producing new algorithms as well as improving their performance. Recursion, via the divide-and-conquer paradigm, introduced variable blocking to complement the standard fixed block algorithms. In particular, new data structures for dense linear algebra became an active research area. This Workshop will focus on both new data structures and/or new or existing algorithms for, in general, high performance computing.

This workshop will be held at the conference
"PPAM 2009 PARALLEL PROCESSING
and APPLIED MATHEMATICS",
Wroc\law, Poland,
September 13-16 2009,
http://www.ppam.pl/

A limited number of contributed, 20 minute talks will be selected for this workshop. Extended abstracts no more than two pages should be sent as soon as possible. The text can be in Latex, Postscript, PDF or pure ASCII. Please send the text by email: "jw@imm.dtu.dk". The acceptance of this abstract will be sent just after receiving it.

After acceptance, full papers according to the rules of the Springer LNCS and PPAM 2009 Conference may be submitted. In order to be published in the Springer LNCS proceedings. They should be no longer than 10 pages. Please sent then by July 1, 2009. Papers sent after July 1, 2009 not necessary will be included in the proceedings. These submitted papers will be read and evaluated by at least two reviewers.

Here is a summary of important dates and notes:

As soon as possible - abstracts maximum two pages
July 1, 2009 - papers submission and after
    the papers go to reviewers
August 15, 2009 - the papers go back to authors
