*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Georgia Tech faculty are making a good showing by presenting a number of technical papers, posters, and at birds-of-a-feather sessions at SC09. Several faculty also have taken leadership roles in the technical program.
Technical Papers/Poster Sessions/Birds-of-a-Feather
Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. in Room PB255
TECHNICAL PAPER: A Massively Parallel Adaptive Fast-Multipole Method on Heterogeneous Architectures (Best Paper Nominee) - Georgia Tech's George Biros, Ilya Lashuk, Aparna Chandramowlishwaran, Harper Langston, Tuan-Anh Nguyen, Rahul Sampath, Aashay Shringarpure, and Rich Vuduc are co-authors on this paper that presents new scalable algorithms and a new implementation of our kernel-independent fast multipole method, employing both distributed memory parallelism (via MPI) and shared memory/streaming parallelism (via GPU acceleration) to rapidly evaluate two-body non-oscillatory potentials.
Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 5:15 p.m. - 7:00 p.m in the Oregon Ballroom Lobby
POSTER: Cellule: Lightweight Execution Environment for Virtualized Accelerators - Georgia Tech's Vishakha Gupta, Priyanka Tembey, Ada Gavrilovska, and Karsten Schwan present this poster that presents Cellule, which uses virtualization to create a high performance, low noise self-contained execution environments for the Cell processor.
Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 5:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. in Room 19A/19B
BIRDS-OF-A-FEATHER SESSION: Cray XMT massively multithreaded architecture - Georgia Tech's David A. Bader, David Ediger, Karl Jiang, and Jason Riedy will participate in this Birds-of-a-Feather session to discuss characterizing and analyzing massive Spatio-Temporal Interaction Networks and Graphs (STING).
Tuesday, Nov. 17, from 5:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. in Room D133-134
BIRDS-OF-A-FEATHER SESSION: Accelerating Discovery in Science and Engineering through Petascale Simulations and Analysis: The NSF PetaApps Program - Georgia Tech's David A. Bader, P.K. Yeung, and George Biros will participate in this Birds-of-a-Feather update on recently-awarded NSF PetaApps research projects.
Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 2:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. in Room PB255
TECHNICAL PAPER: SCAMPI: A Scalable Cam-based Algorithm for Multiple Pattern Inspection - Georgia Tech's Virat Agarwal (joint appointment with IBM T.J. Watson Research Center) is a co-author on this paper that presents SCAMPI, a groundbreaking string searching algorithm that is fast, space-efficient, scalable, and resilient to attacks.
Thursday, Nov. 19, from 2:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. in Room PB255
TECHNICAL PAPER: Age Based Scheduling for Asymmetric Multiprocessors - Georgia Tech's Nagesh B. Lakshminarayana, Jaekyu Lee, and Hyesoon Kim are co-authors on this paper that proposes a new policy, Age based scheduling, that improves scheduling multithreaded applications in asymmetric multiprocessors.
