We cordially invite you to The First International Workshop on Characterizing Applications for Heterogeneous Exascale Systems (CACHES), to be held in conjunction with ICS'11 on June 4th at Tucson, Arizona. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in heterogeneous exascale systems, to discuss their ongoing research as well as future trends in these designs. We have researchers from academia, industry, and national labs to present their recent work. Last but not the least, don't miss the chance to let the "exascale" saguaro inspire your future research! The program is pasted below. For more details, please visit our website http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/caches/2011/index.html. You can register through the ICS webpage at http://ics11.cs.arizona.edu/. Early registration is due May 7th.
