Parallel Programming Models - Productivity and Applications for Exascale and Beyond - 4th edition

The three fields, parallel programming models, HPC tools to foster productivity, and applications in numerical computing form the common interests of the SPPEXA projects MYX, ESSEX-II and DASH, and comprised the themes of the three previous editions of the workshop hold in Japan (Tokyo 2017), France (Versailles 2017) and Germany (Aachen 2018). This workshop allowed to identify opportunities for interaction between the three projects and showed the convergence between them for future collaborations. The participants agreed that it would be a good consortium of researchers for future research on software for Exascale supercomputers and beyond. Then, it was decided to organize another joint workshop in Europe with these three projects. 

The goal of this fourth edition of workshop is to foster collaborations between these three projects attract attendance from Europe and Japan beyond the SPPEXA projects.
In addition to the invited presentations, the agenda contains contributions from the SPPEXA PIs on the recent progress made in the projects. Project members – young researchers – will present their individual results and next steps. In summary, the workshop will consist of many short talk in the order of 15 to 20 minutes. The agenda and the social interactions are expected to make new contacts among the participants to build upon in the future.
