Parallel Symbolic Computation 2010 (PASCO 2010)

July 21-23, 2010 -- Grenoble, France

Third Announcement and

C A L L f o r P A P E R S

*** Submission date extended to April 18 ***

Overview:

The International Workshop on Parallel and Symbolic Computation (PASCO)
is a series of workshops dedicated to the promotion and advancement of
parallel algorithms and software in all areas of symbolic mathematical
computation. The pervasive ubiquity of parallel architectures and
memory hierarchy has led to the emergence of a new quest for parallel
mathematical algorithms and software capable of exploiting the various
levels of parallelism: from hardware acceleration technologies (multi-
core and multi-processor system on chip, GPGPU, FPGA) to cluster and
global computing platforms. To push up the limits of symbolic and
algebraic computations, beyond the optimization of the application
itself, the effective use of a large number of resources --memory
and general or specialized computing units-- is expected to enhance
the performance multi-criteria objectives: time, energy consumption,
resource usage, reliability. In this context, the design and the
implementation of mathematical algorithms with provable and adaptive
performances is a major challenge.

Earlier meetings in the PASCO series include PASCO'94 (Linz, Austria),
PASCO'97 (Maui, U.S.A.), PASCO'07 (London, Canada).
PASCO 2010 is affiliated with the 2010 International Symposium on
Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC) in Munich, Germany.
Immediately prior to the ISSAC 2010 meeting, PASCO will be held in
Grenoble, France.

The workshop PASCO 2010 will be a three-day event including invited
presentations and tutorials, contributed research papers and posters,
and a programming contest.
Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
* Design and analysis of parallel algorithms for computer algebra
* Practical parallel implementation of symbolic or symbolic-numeric
algorithms
* High-performance software tools and libraries for computer algebra
* Applications of high-performance computer algebra
* Distributed data-structures for computer algebra
* Hardware acceleration technologies (multi-cores, GPUs, FPGAs) applied
to computer algebra
* Cache complexity and cache-oblivious algorithms for computer algebra
* Compile-time and run-time techniques for automating optimization and
platform adaptation of computer algebra algorithms

Call for Papers:

The conference invites submission of papers presenting original
research, either in the form of extended abstracts (2 pages) or
full papers (up to 10 pages) in ACM format. As in previous years,
PASCO 2010 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers.

The PASCO 2010 Conference proceedings will be published by the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) http://www.acm.org/ and
will be made available in the ACM Digital Library. The proceedings
will also be distributed on CDs to the participants of the workshop.

Programming Contest:

A programming contest will be organized during the PASCO 2010 meeting.
Each participating team will be competing on one or more programming
challenges proposed by the organizing committee and by the participants.
Details can be found at the PASCO 2010 web site.
