SCOPE: 

HighPer 2018 will be a research training event with a global
scope aiming at updating participants about the most recent advances in
the critical and fast developing area of high performance computing,
which covers a large spectrum of current exciting research and
industrial innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact
on scientific discoveries, medicine, engineering, business models, and
society itself. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture
and share their views with the audience. 

Most subareas of high
performance computing will be displayed, from foundations,
infrastructure and management to applications. Major challenges in the
field will be identified through 2 keynote lectures, 22 five-hour and
fifteen-minute courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most
active and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that
outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated
students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. 

An open
session will give participants the opportunity to present their own work
in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be two special sessions
with industrial and recruitment profiles. 

ADDRESSED TO: 

Master
students, PhD students, postdocs, and industry practitioners will be
typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal
pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees. Since there
will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be
assumed for some of the courses. Overall, HighPer 2018 is addressed to
students, researchers and practitioners who want to keep themselves
updated about recent developments and future trends. All will surely
find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry
leaders and innovators. 

STRUCTURE: 

3 courses will run in parallel
during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the
courses they wish to attend as well as to move from one to another.


VENUE: 

HighPer 2018 will take place in San Sebastián, a famous
touristic coastal city in the Basque Country which was European Capital
of Culture 2016. The venue will be:

OPEN SESSION 

An open session will collect 5-minute
voluntary presentations of work in progress by participants. They should
submit a half-page abstract containing title, authors, and summary of
the research to david.silva409 (at) yahoo.com by April 16, 2018.


INDUSTRIAL SESSION: 

A session will be devoted to 10-minute
demonstrations of practical applications of high performance computing
in industry. Companies interested in contributing are welcome to submit
a 1-page abstract containing the program of the demonstration and the
logistics needed. At least one of the people participating in the
demonstration should have registered for the event. Expressions of
interest have to be submitted to david.silva409 (at) yahoo.com by April
16, 2018. 

EMPLOYER SESSION: 

Firms searching for personnel well
