PPL at SC21

There are multiple Charm++, CharmMPI, NAMD and associated research talks and activities at SC21 this year. These include:

As usual, we will have a BoF (Birds of a Feather) session on Tuesday, Nov 16th, from 12:15pm to 1:15pm in Room 227-228. It is accessible for virtual attendees as well as exhibit attendees.

NAMD, one of the earliest Charm++ applications, is featured in two of the six Gordon Bell award finalists in the special category aimed at COVID-19 research. Both papers will be presented in a session on Wednesday afternoon 1:30-3:00 pm in Room 240-242.

Charmworks Inc. has a booth, #2030, where you can meet staff and researchers and see the fault tolerance and load balancing demo on our mini-cluster on site.

There are two papers at the ESPM2 workshop on Monday in Room 242 by researchers from UIUC and Charmworks with titles:

• Accelerating Messages by Avoiding Copies in an Asynchronous Task-based Programming Model
• Performance Evaluation of Python Parallel Programming Models: Charm4Py and mpi4py
