The 4th Workshop on High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing (HPPAC
2008) will be held
April 14, 2008 from 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM in Miami, FL, USA,
in conjunction with the
22nd Annual
International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS
2008), April
14, 2008, Miami, Florida, USA
Keynote Address
George Chiu, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
Scope
High-performance computing is and has always been performance-oriented.
However, a consequence of the push towards maximum performance is
increased energy consumption, especially in datacenters and
supercomputing centers. Moreover, as peak performance is rarely
attained, some of this energy consumption results in little or no
performance gain. In addition, large energy consumption costs
datacenters and supercomputing centers a significant amount of
money and wastes natural resources.
The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the
exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in
high-performance, power-aware computing (HPPAC). HPPAC will present
research that reduces (1) power consumption, (2) energy consumption,
or (3) heat generation with little or no performance penalty in
high-performance computing systems. In effect, the workshop aims to
move towards "greener" solutions for
datacenters and supercomputing centers. Examples include
Green Destiny (2001),
The Green Grid (2007),
and
The Green500 List (2007).
