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

该提案寻求NSF对印美高性能计算研讨会的支持，该研讨会将于2010年1月7日和8日在班加罗尔举行，就在PPoPP和HPCA研讨会之前。资金要求部分支付最多20名美国高级研究人员和20名学生的旅费。除了提议的美国与会者外，研讨会的与会者还将包括提案中列出的印度著名研究人员。本次研讨会的目的是启动印度学生、高级研究人员和开发人员与并行编程和计算领域的美国同行之间的互动，以增进相互理解，创造合作机会。由于该领域专家的参与，拟议的讲习班预计将产生创新的研究方向。从讨论中产生的研究思路可能对HPC系统在全球的使用方式产生深远的影响。 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。

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.
