Abstract

<p> In today&#8242;s world, the use of parallel programming and architectures is essential for simulating practical problems in engineering and related disciplines&#046; Remarkable progress in CPU architecture (multi&#8211; and manycore, SMT, transactional memory, virtualization support, etc&#046;), system scalability, and interconnect technology continues to provide new opportunities, as well as new challenges for both system architects and software developers&#046; These trends go along with progress in parallel algorithms, simulation techniques, and software integration from multiple disciplines&#046; </p> <p> This 8th special session is intended to provide a discussion forum for scientists from both application disciplines and computer science in order to foster closer cooperations&#046; In contrast to traditional conferences, emphasis is put on the presentation of up&#8211;to&#8211;date results with a short turn&#8211;around time, which can also include the presentation of work&#8211;in&#8211;progress with only partial results available at the time of submission&#046; Authors are also encouraged to present new projects and/or ideas&#046; </p> Since its successful introduction in 2002, ParSim has established itself as an integral part of the EuroPVM/MPI conference series&#046; EuroPVM/MPI, with its long tradition as one of the European prime events in parallel computation, serves as an ideal host for ParSim and will thus enable participants to present and discuss their work within the scope of both ParSim and EuroPVM/MPI&#046; <p> Topics include, but are not limited to: </p> <ul><li>Real&#8211;world problems from electrical, mechanical, civil, or medical engineering requiring parallel simulation techniques</li><li>Scalability of large&#8211;scale parallel simulations</li><li>Software techniques to optimize parallel simulations</li><li>Problem solving environments for parallel simulation problems</li><li>Mathematical aspects for parallel simulation approaches</li><li>Impact of new architectures (e&#046;g&#046; homogeneous or heterogeneous multicore, multithreading, low power) on parallel simulation </li><li>Role of accelerator components, e&#046;g&#046; graphics processors</li></ul> <p> Papers describing practical and/or industry experience are especially encouraged&#046; </p>
