Abstract1143988: Barba, Lorena A.; Trustees of Boston UniversityThis award will support two senior researchers and fifteen junior scientists from the United States, under the direction of Dr. Lorena A. Barba, to attend and conduct a workshop in Seattle, Washington, as a side meeting to the Supercomputing-11 Conference held concurrently during November 12-18, 2011. The workshop is a follow up to a Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) held in Valparaiso, Chile in January 2011, titled "Scientific Computing in the Americas: the challenge of massive parallelism." The primary goal of this workshop is to reinforce the network created during the PASI, reconnecting young scientists with senior researchers (PASI lecturers) and their peers, and, ultimately, to stimulate new collaborations. The venue chosen will enable close interactions with one of the top events in the field of high performance computing.The original PASI brought together many high-level researchers in computational science and students at various levels to focus on the impact of general-purpose computation on Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) accelerators on scientific productivity. GPU clusters are becoming a leading player in the high-performance computing arena, with 3 of the top 5 supercomputers in the world now based on this hardware. There are important lessons to be learned in programming these accelerators as well as the more general issues associated with understanding the algorithms and programming models to achieve desired results. The proposed workshop will be invaluable in providing the networking needed for these participants to continue with the work they started at the PASI and enable new collaborations.

Barba，洛雷纳A.;波士顿大学董事会该奖项将支持来自美国的两名高级研究人员和十五名初级科学家，在洛雷纳博士的指导下。Barba将参加并主持在华盛顿州西雅图举行的研讨会，作为2011年11月12日至18日同时举行的超级计算-11会议的附带会议。 该讲习班是泛美高级研究所（PASI）2011年1月在智利瓦尔帕莱索举行的题为“美洲的科学计算：大规模并行性的挑战”的后续活动。“这次研讨会的主要目标是加强PASI期间创建的网络，重新连接年轻科学家与高级研究人员（PASI讲师）和他们的同行，并最终刺激新的合作。 本次大会的举办地点将与高性能计算领域的顶级盛会之一密切互动。最初的PASI汇集了许多计算科学领域的高水平研究人员和不同层次的学生，专注于图形处理单元（GPGPU）加速器上的通用计算对科学生产力的影响。 GPU集群正在成为高性能计算竞技场的主要参与者，目前世界上排名前5位的超级计算机中有3台基于这种硬件。 在对这些加速器进行编程时，以及与理解算法和编程模型以实现预期结果相关的更一般性问题中，需要吸取重要的教训。 拟议的研讨会将是非常宝贵的，为这些参与者提供所需的网络，以继续他们在PASI开始的工作，并实现新的合作。
