16:45 - 17:30 | Debate - Moderator: John Feo (PNNL) Proposition: "Data analytic workloads are a complex mix of heterogeneous data, algorithms, and computing models. Thus, reconfigurable computing architectures are an attractive alternative to today's state-of-the-art fixed heteogenous designs. Market forces expect real-time decision systems to generate sales and awareness in an ever increasing interconnected modern society. But, the high volume and high velocity of data streams particular to these problems makes reconfiguration impractical. Unable to support important commercial data analytic workloads, the market for reconfigurable systems is too small to be profitable." Panelists: Sanjukta Bhowmick (University of Omaha-Nebraska), Aydin Buluç (LBNL), Howie Huang (George Washington University), Martin Schulz (University of Munich), |
Authors interested in the topics of the workshop are also invited to submit papers to the thematic Special Issue on Innovations in Systems for Irregular Applications of ACM Transactions on Parallel Computing (TOPC).
We invite, in particular, authors of papers accepted to previous editions of the workshop, as well as authors of accepted papers to the upcoming edition, to submit exteded versions of their paper.
For more information on the TOPC Special Issue on Innovations in Systems for Irregular Applications, including details on submissions and important dates, please consult the following link: http://hpc.pnl.gov/TOPCSI/.
Due to the number of requests received, we have moved the submission deadline to November 30, 2018!
