Workshop on New Architectures and Algorithms
Abstract
We propose to hold a workshop on New Architectures and Algorithms as part of our long program on Science at the Extreme Scales: Where Big Data Meets Large-Scale Computing. The motivation for the workshop comes from the increasing need to address challenges associated with the development of extreme-scale computers and the end of Moore???s Law. Such extreme scales machines will be of enormous value to a wide range of scientific and commercialapplications. Performance trends of the technologies underlying current Von Neumann architectures are reaching physical limitations, and even more exotic technologies like neuromorphic and quantum devices are being explored. These architectural changes will impact both numerically intensive and data intensive applicationsNew architectures and platforms call for new algorithms. In the near term, the cost of data motion will dominate the cost of computation, and thus there is increasing interest in algorithms that minimize data motion at the expense of additional computation. Such techniques involve algorithms that perform data-compression, communication and synchronization avoidance, in situ and in transit data analysis and other approaches.The aim of the workshop is to explore nexus of algorithms, architectures, platforms, Big Data, and high-performance computing.
