*From:* "Reid, Rosalind" <rreid(a)seas.harvard.edu> *Date:* December 19, 2012 6:09 AM *To:* iacs-events <iacs-events(a)seas.harvard.edu> *Subject:* [IACS-events] Announcing a Harvard symposium on Computing @ Exascale Jan. 25 IACS and the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences are pleased to announce that the Second Annual Symposium on the Future of Computation in Science and Engineering will be held on Friday, Jan. 25. SYMPOSIUM TITLE: "Computing @ Exascale" LOCATION: Maxwell Dworkin G-115 (33 Oxford St.) TIME: 9:30 am-5 pm, Jan. 2 PROGRAM DETAILS: http://computefest.seas.harvard.edu/exascale-symposium-program We plan a day of lively conversation about the sweeping advances in knowledge and technology that might be enabled by extremely fast supercomputers, which could operate very differently from today's fastest machines. Industry and academic leaders will debate the hardware, software and education strategies necessary to enable the next big leap in computation. The symposium is open to the public. No registration is required. Please share this notice with anyone who might be interested. Confirmed speakers: • David E. Shaw (keynote) President, D. E. Shaw Research • Steven E. Koonin Director, Center for Urban Science and Progress, New York University • Sadasivan Shankar Senior Principal Engineer and Program Leader for Materials Design, Intel Corp. • Chris Johnson Director, Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute, University of Utah • Joseph L. Hellerstein Manager, Computational Discovery for Science, Google Inc. • David Turek IBM Vice President for Exascale Computing • Steven Keckler Senior Director of Architecture Research, NVIDIA, and Adjunct Professor of Computer Science, University of Texas at Austin • Stephen S. Pawlowski Intel Senior Fellow; CTO, Intel Architecture Group; and General Manager for Cross-IAG Architecture and Pathfinding, Intel Corporation IACS is grateful to Intel Corp. for corporate sponsorship of this year's event, which concludes ComputeFest (http://computefest.seas.harvard.edu), nine days of workshops, symposia and student events for skill- and knowledge-building in computational science during Harvard's winter break. _______________________________________________ Iacs-events mailing list Iacs-events(a)seas.harvard.edu https://lists.seas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iacs-events
