The workshop will be held at the SC11 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, in Seattle, Washington, USA.</div><div><br></div><div>High performance computing (HPC) has become an essential tool to study real world problems of significant scale or detail, and is now applied in a wide range of fields. However, successfully applying HPC can be a challenging undertaking to newcomers from fields outside of computing/computer science. For example, a graduate structural biologist might not be thoroughly aware of parallelisation techniques, data management strategies or visualisation approaches.</div><div><br></div><div>This workshop provides graduate students who are adopting HPC an opportunity to present early stage research and gain valuable feedback. A group of expert reviewers with significant experience will be invited to come and critique students’ work and provide constructive feedback. The goal of this workshop is to help students identify shortcomings, introduce new approaches, discuss new technology, learn about relevant literature or define their future research goals.</div><div><br></div><div>This workshop is relevant to a range of students, include those that:</div><div><br></div><div> * Are from fields outside of computing/computer science and are applying HPC tools or techniques in their domain; or</div><div> * Are applying HPC to a field where it has not traditionally been used; or</div><div> * Are new to the field of HPC and wish to present their early research outcomes. </div><div><br></div><div>Domain-specific applications of HPC disciplines such as parallel computing, grid computing, workflows, data management and visualisation are all considered highly relevant.</div><div><br></div><div>Applicants are invited to submit a one page abstract for review by small program committee. Poster presentations at the workshop should be A1 size (or approximately 2 x 3 ft) in portrait orientation.</div><div><br></div><div>This workshop is an initiative of the SC Ambassador’s program, aimed to increase SC engagement from international participants.</div><div><br></div><div>The Early Adopters Workshop successfully held in 2009 and 2010 at Supercomputing in Portland and New Orleans. Together, these two workshops have attracted almost 100 students from across Asia, USA and Europe, and as many reviewers.
