<h3>SCOPE</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 (HP-PAC). HP-PAC 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.</p>
<p>Topics of interest include but are not limited to the
following: </p>
<ul>
<li>Novel power-aware architectures for HPC</li>
<li>Power-aware middleware for HPC</li>
<li>Power-aware runtime systems for HPC</li>
<li>Reduced power / energy / heat algorithms & applications</li>
<li>Surveys or studies of power / energy / heat usage of HPC
applications</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<h3>PROCEEDINGS</h3>
<p>The proceedings of this workshop will be published together
with
the proceedings of other IPDPS '08 workshops by the IEEE Computer
Society Press.</p>
