Conference Dates: January 15-17, 2020
Workshop Date: January 17, 2020 (Day-3 Afternoon)
Location: HPC Asia 2020 (International Conference on HPC in Asia-Pacific Region), Fukuoka, Japan
Co-Organized with the Center for Computational Sciences, University of Tsukuba, with support from Intel.
Event Description:
The Intel eXtreme Performance Users Group (IXPUG) is an active community led forum for sharing industry best practices, techniques, tools, etc. for maximizing efficiency on Intel platforms and products. IXPUG Workshop at HPC Asia 2020 is an open workshop on high performance computing applications, systems, and architecture with Intel technologies. This is a half-day workshop with invited talks and contributed papers. The workshop aims to bring together software developers and technology experts to share challenges, experiences and best-practice methods for the optimization of HPC, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics workloads on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors, Intel® FPGA, and any related hardware/software platforms. The workshop will cover application performance and scalability challenges at all levels - from intra-node performance up to large-scale compute systems. Any research aspect related to Intel HPC products is welcome to be presented in this workshop.
