Scope

The Scientific Computing Team of the Computational Methods in Systems and Control Theory group at the MPI in Magdeburg is holding the second workshop entitled "Power-Aware Computing PACO2017" at the Max Planck Society's conference site Ringberg Castle. The workshop aims at bringing together experts in and close to the field in a 3-day event.

For the scientific program the workshop searches for contributions on any development that reports power or energy savings in a computational system. The interests include, but are not strictly limited to:

• Exploitation of low-power hardware architectures
• Development of algorithms that facilitate energy savings
• Tools, libraries and environments for the development of power-aware software
• Measurement and control of the power consumption
• High-performance power-aware applications
• Communication avoiding algorithms
• High-performance implementations of tensor methods
• Multi-precision algortihms in numerical linear algebra and related fields

Contributions

Talks: 25 minutes +5 minutes for discussion. A computer and data projector for the presentation are provided. A presenter and laser pointer will be avilable, as well.

Posters: The posters can be up to DIN A0 and should be prepared in Portrait orientation. they may be set up Wednesday after the arrival. All posters will be visible during all coffee breaks. The designated Poster session will be Thursday night after dinner.

Abstracts: Please check the abstracts page for more information about the submission procedure. All accepted extended abstracts will be made available in the PACO 2017 collection on Zenodo.

Proceedings: Selected contributions will be invited for a full paper submission to the special issue in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience.

Registration

We are expecting up to 60 participants. Due to the limited space for accomodation at Ringberg Castle this number can not be exceeded. The registration fee will be 450€ and payment information will be sent to you in the email sent out by the registration form. The registration is open since Monday January 16, 2017.
(Note that the standard conference fee covers accomodation and all meals at Ringberg Castle. Also the trip to Wallberg mountain is included. The individual travel expenses are not included unless you are an invited speaker.)
