Subject: Data-Intensive Computing, Jun 5-9 2010, U. of Toronto: 2nd call for papers

Please distribute to interested members of your department. We'd like this conference to be a showcase of computational work in all disciplines by UofT researchers, both those who are already using SciNet resources and those who we haven't yet had the opportunity to work with. There will be two days of workshops before the technical sessions on both the basics and advanced topics in large-scale computing, suitable for grad students or postdocs, with another workshop or two to be announced hopefully this week.


Second Call For Submissions: 'Data-Intensive Computing' HPCS2010 ( http://www.hpcs2010.org )

HPCS (High Performance Computing Symposium) is Canada's foremost supercomputing conference, a multidisciplinary
conference where computational researchers from all disciplines in industry and academia, computer scientists,
and vendors exchange new tools, techniques and interesting results in and for high-performance computational
research. The HPCS2010 conference will take place on June 5-9; June 5 and 6 will consist of tutorial workshops covering introductory and advanced tools for high performance computing, and the technical sessions of the symposium will take place June 7-9. Schedule and Workshop information is available on our website, http://www.hpcs2010.org .

We are seeking abstracts for posters and oral presentations in the following areas, particularly as relating to
our main theme, `Data
Intensive Computing/Data Intensive Research':

* Data-intensive Digital Humanities
* HPC in Life/Medical/Biological Sciences
* Data-Intensive Astronomy/Astrophysics
* HPC in the Physical Sciences and Industry
* HPC in the Climate and Earth Sciences
* New algorithms for computational research in any discipline
* Development of novel computational research tools
* Computer architectures
* Grid computing
* Tools for Performance Modeling or Tuning
* Visualization

Submissions for oral or poster presentations will be eligible for the NVIDIA Best Paper Prize, an NVIDIA Quadro X 5800. Student submissions for oral or poster presentations will be eligible for the Intel Best Student Paper Prize, a gift card worth $500 CDN.

Submissions for oral presentations are due April 19; submissions should be of the form of extended abstracts (~500-1000 words) with a problem description, methods, conclusions (possibly preliminary), key references, and optionally figures. Submissions will be reviewed by the sessions organizing committee, and notifications of acceptance will go out by May 3. The proceedings will be published in a peer-reviewed, indexed online publication after the conference, with a deadline for final versions of papers for peer review approximately a month after the conference.

Submissions for poster presentations are also due on April 19. These will follow the same procedure as those for papers. Top posters in various categories will have the option to publish in the proceedings.

To submit an abstract for consideration, register at the conference website
(http://www.hpcs2010.org ) and then submit a PDF-formatted extended abstract at http://www.hpcs2010.org/conference/papers .
