The 7th annual MVAPICH User Group (MUG) meeting has issued its Call for Presentations. MUG will take place from August 19-21, 2019 in Columbus, Ohio.
MUG aims to bring together MVAPICH2 users, researchers, developers, and system administrators to share their experience and knowledge and learn from each other. The event includes keynote talks, invited tutorials, invited talks, contributed presentations, open MIC session, hands-on sessions with MVAPICH developers, etc. This year, we will be holding special tutorials and demo/hands-on session during the first day of the event (August 19th.) Other talks and sessions will be held on August 20-21.
MUG invites users to submit short, contributed presentations on the following topics:
- Case studies and best practices of novel applications from different application domains, such as astronomy, bioinformatics, biology, earth and atmospheric sciences, fluid dynamics, materials science and engineering, medicine, physics, machine learning and deep learning
- Performance and scalability studies of applications on large-scale systems
- Special tuning and optimization strategies to exploit maximum performance and scalability
- Tools and code instrumentation for measuring and monitoring performance and/or resilience
- Tools for parallel program development (e.g., debuggers and integrated development environments)
- Unique usage scenarios such as GPGPUs, Xeons, Xeon Phis, FPGAs, PGAS, Energy-Awareness, Virtualization, etc.
As a highlight this year, MUG will be offering Student Travel Grants through NSF.
