**** Early bird registration ends tomorrow (Aug 31) !!!! **** Dear Madam or Sir / Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, We'd like to invite you to the 12th Parallel Tools Workshop which will take place in Stuttgart, Germany from September 17 to 18, 2018. Please take a look at the call for participation below for further details. Feel free to forward this call to potential participants. Best regards, The Parallel Tools Workshop Team ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 12th International Parallel Tools Workshop September 17-18, 2018, Stuttgart, Germany (http://toolsworkshop.hlrs.de) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The growing hardware capabilities of modern supercomputers have caused an increasing complexity of parallel applications development. Despite numerous efforts to improve and simplify the development process, there is still a lot of debugging of parallel applications, in particular where these use advanced parallel concepts or combine different parallel programming models, and perfromance tuning with respect to the particular system to be done. The High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) is very pleased to host the 12th International Parallel Tools Workshop, which is jointly organized with the Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing Dresden (ZIH). The Parallel Tools Workshop is an annual forum for providers of tools for debugging and performance tuning of parallel applications. The workshop serves a discussion forum between the developers of state-of-the-art tools used in high-performance computing, and allows for feedback and discussion on new challenges and techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Debugging Tools and Concepts * Performance Tools and Concepts * Success-stories for Tool Usage * Parallel-Programming Tools in Industrial Environments This years motto: The motto of the event for this year is "The tools experience": Usability of tools in the real - Large simulation trouble, the question what to look for and all that matters for the tools user. Keynote-Speakers: * Mitsuhisa Sato from RIKEN * John Mellor-Crummey from RICE Please refer to the programme preview on the website for titles and abstracts of the confirmed talks: http://toolsworkshop.hlrs.de/2018/index.php/programme We encourage the participation of both, experienced users who would like to get an insight into the newest trends in creation of debugging and analysis tools, as well as new developers who would like to get an overview about the existing tools and techniques to be used with their parallel applications. Early bird registration is open until 31st August. After that, registration is still open at a higher fee. Further information about the workshop as well as the registration form can be found at the website http://toolsworkshop.hlrs.de . Yours faithfully the organizing committee --------------------------------------------------------------------- We would appreciate if you could forward this email to interested colleagues.
