Annual Conference: Communicating Process Architectures
Communicating Process Architectures 2018,
the 40th. WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems, takes place from
Sunday August 19th. to Wednesday August 22nd. 2018 and is hosted by
Professor Dr. Rainer Spallek,
Chair of
VLSI Design, Diagnostics and Architecture
at the Faculty of Computer Science,
Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
The conference is organised by Dr. Spallek in collboration with Oliver Knodel and Uwe Mielke
and in partnership with WoTUG.
About WoTUG
WoTUG provides a forum for the discussion and promotion of concurrency ideas,
tools and products in computer science.
It organises specialist workshops and annual conferences that address
key concurrency issues at all levels of software and hardware granularity.
WoTUG aims to progress the leading state of the art in:
-
theory (programming models, process algebra, semantics, ...);
-
practice (multicore processors and run-times, clusters, clouds, libraries, languages, verification, model checking, ...);
-
education (at school, undergraduate and postgraduate levels, ...);
-
applications (complex systems, modelling, supercomputing, embedded systems, robotics, games, e-commerce, ...);
and to stimulate discussion and ideas on the roles concurrency will play in the future:
-
for the next generation of scalable computer infrastructure (hard and soft) and application,
where scaling means the ability to ramp up functionality (stay in control as complexity increases)
as well as physical metrics (such as absolute performance and response times);
-
for system integrity (dependability, security, safety, liveness, ...);
-
for making things simple.
Of course, neither of the above sets of bullets are exclusive.

A prototype simulator output movie system based on parallel processing technology
By N. Carmichael, D. Hewson, J. van der Vorst
New parallel processing technologies potentially offer immense computing power at a very reasonable price. However it is not yet clear how best this potential may be realised for the large class of applications of concern to the Shell computing community. Shell U.K. (Expro) Ltd., as one of that company's ninth licensing round initiatives, decided to purchase a parallel processing machine (a member of the "computing surface" range from Meiko Ltd.,a Bristol ,U.K., based company). In order to test the abilities of the machine and its suppliers, dynamic "movie style" display of oil or gas reservoir simulator output (ie. changing fluid distributions within the reservoir) was chosen as an application example. The presentation will give a brief description of the application and of how it is placed on the machine. These devices are now being routinely used by reservoir engineers.Operational usage of the system will be discussed (a video of an interactive session will be available) and some more general remarks about the placement of such technology within an extensive heterogeneous computing environment will be made.
