Abstraction Description: Chemistry is a central science in that, at its core, chemistry is the understanding of the way atoms and molecules interact. Chemistry influences many areas such as physics, biology, pharmaceuticals, materials, and chemical engineering. Computational chemistry, while a relatively young part of the chemistry field, has become a third pillar in the science […]

SC16 Invited Talk Spotlight: Dr. Thomas Sterling Presents “Runtime Systems Software for Future HPC: Opportunity or Distraction?”
Short Introduction: This presentation will provide a comprehensive review of driving challenges, strategies, examples of existing runtime systems, and experiences. One important consideration is the possible future role of advances in computer architecture to accelerate the likely mechanisms embodied within typical runtimes. The talk will conclude with suggestions of future paths and work to advance […]
Get Ready for Lively, Insight-Rich Panels—and a Few Surprises Along the Way at SC16
The table is set for another round of amazing SC Panels at SC16 in Salt Lake City, Utah. “Our panels are historically one of the highlights of our event, and for good reason,” said Michaela Taufer, SC16 Panels Chair from the University of Delaware. “Our panelists are some of the most respected leaders in their […]
SC15 Panel Line-Up for Nov. 19th
Asynchronous Many-Task Programming Models for Next Generation Platforms Next generation platform architectures will require us to fundamentally rethink our programming models and environments due to a combination of factors including extreme parallelism, data locality issues, and resilience. As seen in the computational sciences community, asynchronous many-task (AMT) programming models and runtime systems are emerging as […]
SC15 Panel Line-Up for Nov. 18th
Supercomputing and Big Data: From Collision to Convergence As data intensive science emerges, the need for high performance computing (HPC) to converge capacity and capabilities with Big Data becomes more apparent and urgent. Capacity requirements have stemmed from science data processing and the creation of large scale data products (e.g., earth observations, Large Hadron Collider, […]
SC15 Panel Focus for Nov. 17th
Panel Title: Post Moore’s Law Computing: Digital versus Neuromorphic versus Quantum The end of Moore’s Law scaling has sparked research into preserving performance scaling through alternative computational models. This has sparked a debate for the future of computing. Currently, the future of computing is expected to include a mix of quantum, neuromorphic, and digital computing. […]
