Workshop Series on Power-Aware Computing (PACO)
The growing demand for increasingly more complex simulations in science and techniology stands in clear contrat to the international climate goals. Increasingly larger and more energy-demanding HPC installations in the TOP500 list of fastest supercomputers has been accompanied by a new list (the Green500) reflecting the awareness of rsearchers for this dilemma. The PACO series of workshops is a plattform bringing together researchers from all areas of computing with the joint goals to optimize the energy efficiency of computations. Frequently encountered topisa are :
- Exploitation of low-power hardware architectures
- Development of algorithms that facilitate energy savings
- Tools, libraries and environments for the development of power-aware software
- Measurement and control of the power consumption
- High-performance power-aware applications
- Communication avoiding algorithms
- High-performance implementations of tensor methods
- Multi-precision algortihms in numerical linear algebra and related fields
The CSC group and partners have held these workshops on a biannual basis since 2015.
- PACO 2015 (MPI Magdeburg)
- PACO 2017 (Ringberg castle)
- PACO 2019 (MPI Magdeburg)
- PACO 2021 (skipped due to COVID pandemic)
- PACO 2023 (planned for UdelaR Montevideo, Uruguay)
