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

No summary paragraph submitted.
IPDPS'18 LogoGeorgia Tech’s latest parallel and distributed computing research was presented at the 32nd IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS’18) in Vancouver, Canada, May 21-25.
The School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) helped lead the way as faculty involvement included keynotes, invited talks, plenary panels, technical papers, and committee service. Visiting Professor Anne Benoit, Professor and Associate Chair Ümit V. Çatalyürek, and Visiting Research Scientist II Bora Uçar were involved in this year’s committee service for the symposium.
“This year, we had a great Georgia Tech team leading the conference: Bora Uçar was the general chair, Anne Benoit was the program chair, and I assisted as the program vice chair,” said Çatalyürek.
Benoit served in several other roles for the symposium. She spoke as part of a panel of distinguished researchers about attracting those underrepresented in the parallel and distributed computing community and how to foster social changes. This women-led panel addressed the underrepresentation of women and other minority groups in tech fields, and the consequences of inequity in the scientific hierarchy. Benoit also led an invited talk at the HPPAC 18 workshop, Trade-offs Between Performance, Reliability, and Energy Consumption.
In conjunction with serving as program vice chair, Çatalyürek also served as the IEEE Computer Society TCPP Chair and was a keynote speaker for the HCW18 workshop, Challenges and Opportunities in Heterogeneous Computing – Applications Perspective. The workshop discussed the challenges of developing efficient, scalable, and maintainable applications for heterogeneous systems, and associated opportunities for systems researchers in the field.
"This was the first year we executed a new two-phase review system, which we believe helped to improve the quality of the technical program. The whole technical program featured 113 papers, three great keynotes, 22 workshops, and a panel on diversity issues. And, last but not least, IPDPS’18 was in the beautiful city of Vancouver, Canada. Everything was simply great!” exclaimed Çatalyürek.
