The First International Workshop on High Performance Computing for Advanced Modeling and Simulation of Materials (HPCMS 2015) (HPCMS 2015)

Supercomputers are rapidly evolving as advances in architecture and semiconductor technology. High performance computing has been applied to accelerate material advanced modelling and engineering. The current trend will provide challenges in parallelism because of increased processing units, accelerators, complex hierarchical memory systems, interconnection networks, storage and uncertainties in programming models. The interdisciplinary collaboration is becoming more and more important in high performance computation. Realistic material simulation needs to combine material modeling methods, mathematical models and parallel algorithms for exploiting supercomputers effectively. The workshop focuses on novel mathematical modeling, parallel algorithms, high performance computing tools and experiences in large-scale material science and engineering applications and supercomputers. The program aims at bringing different expertise including domain experts, applied mathematicians and computer scientists together to discuss the interdisciplinary research of modeling methods and parallel algorithm design for the simulation of materials performance on current and future supercomputers.
