Indo-US Workshop on Parallelism and the Future of High-Performance Computing

这项提议寻求NSF支持将于2010年1月7日和8日在班加罗尔举行的PPoPP和HPCA研讨会之前举行的关于并行性和高性能计算未来的印美研讨会。申请的资金将部分用于支付至多20名美国资深研究人员和20名学生的旅费。除了拟议的美国参与者外，研讨会的与会者还将包括提案中列出的知名印度研究人员。这次研讨会的目的是促进印度学生、资深研究人员和开发人员与美国同行在并行编程和计算领域的互动，以增进相互了解并创造合作机会。由于该领域专家的参与，预计拟议的讲习班将产生创新的研究方向。这些讨论产生的研究想法可能会对全球使用高性能计算系统的方式产生深远影响。未来，国际合作可能会向印度和/或美国的资助机构提出联合研究提案(S)。

This proposal seeks NSF support for a Indo-U.S. Workshop on Parallelism and theFuture of High-Performance Computing that will take place on January 7 and 8, 2010, just before the PPoPP and HPCA Symposia, in Bangalore. Funds are requested to partially cover travel expenses for up to 20 senior US-based researchers and 20 students. In addition to the proposed US participants the workshop attendees will include prominent Indian researchers listed in the proposal. Most of the U.S. workshop team members will be invited speakers and panelists.The objective of this workshop is to initiate interactions between Indian students, senior researchers, and developers and their US counterparts in the area of parallel programming and computing in order to improve mutual understanding and create opportunities for collaborations. The proposed workshop is expected to result in innovative research directions, due to the participation of the experts in the field. Research ideas resulting from the discussions can have far reaching impact in the way HPC systems are used worldwide. In the future, international collaborations might produce joint research proposal(s) to funding agencies in India and/or the U.S.
