Abstract1143988: Barba, Lorena A.; Trustees of Boston UniversityThis award will support two senior researchers and fifteen junior scientists from the United States, under the direction of Dr. Lorena A. Barba, to attend and conduct a workshop in Seattle, Washington, as a side meeting to the Supercomputing-11 Conference held concurrently during November 12-18, 2011. The workshop is a follow up to a Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute (PASI) held in Valparaiso, Chile in January 2011, titled "Scientific Computing in the Americas: the challenge of massive parallelism." The primary goal of this workshop is to reinforce the network created during the PASI, reconnecting young scientists with senior researchers (PASI lecturers) and their peers, and, ultimately, to stimulate new collaborations. The venue chosen will enable close interactions with one of the top events in the field of high performance computing.The original PASI brought together many high-level researchers in computational science and students at various levels to focus on the impact of general-purpose computation on Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) accelerators on scientific productivity. GPU clusters are becoming a leading player in the high-performance computing arena, with 3 of the top 5 supercomputers in the world now based on this hardware. There are important lessons to be learned in programming these accelerators as well as the more general issues associated with understanding the algorithms and programming models to achieve desired results. The proposed workshop will be invaluable in providing the networking needed for these participants to continue with the work they started at the PASI and enable new collaborations.

摘要 1143988：Barba，Lorena A.；波士顿大学受托人该奖项将支持来自美国的两名高级研究人员和十五名初级科学家，在 Lorena A. Barba 博士的指导下，参加在华盛顿州西雅图举行的研讨会，作为 Supercomputing-11 的边会。会议于2011年11月12日至18日同期举行。该研讨会是2011年1月在智利瓦尔帕莱索举行的泛美高级研究所（PASI）的后续活动，题为“科学计算”在美洲：大规模并行的挑战。” 本次研讨会的主要目标是加强 PASI 期间创建的网络，将年轻科学家与高级研究人员（PASI 讲师）及其同行重新建立联系，并最终促进新的合作。 所选择的场地将能够与高性能计算领域的顶级活动之一进行密切互动。最初的PASI汇聚了许多计算科学领域的高水平研究人员和各个级别的学生，重点关注通用计算对人类的影响图形处理单元 (GPGPU) 加速器促进科学生产力。 GPU集群正在成为高性能计算领域的主导者，目前全球排名前5的超级计算机中有3台基于该硬件。 在对这些加速器进行编程时需要学习重要的经验教训，以及与理解算法和编程模型以实现所需结果相关的更普遍的问题。 拟议的研讨会对于为这些参与者提供继续他们在 PASI 开始的工作并实现新的合作所需的网络至关重要。
