[mvapich] MVAPICH User Group (MUG) Meeting - Call for Presentations and Participation

[Dhabaleswar Panda]

The first MVAPICH User Group (MUG) meeting will take place during August 26-27, 
2013 in Columbus, Ohio, USA. The MUG meeting will provide an open forum for all 
attendees (users, system administrators, researchers, engineers, and students) 
to discuss and share their knowledge on using MVAPICH2 and MVAPICH2-X, on 
large-scale systems and for a diverse set of applications.

The event includes a set of talks from experts in the field, presentations from 
the MVAPICH2 team on tuning and optimization strategies for various components, 
trouble shooting guidelines, contributed presentations, an open mic session, 
and an interactive/hands-on session with the MVAPICH2 developers in a 
one-to-one manner to discuss issues and problems.

A preliminary program with confirmed speakers is included below.

A set of short contributed presentations from MVAPICH2 and MVAPICH2-X
users will be included in the event.

Topics for presentations include, but are not limited to: 1) Case
studies of novel applications from different application domains, such
as: astronomy, bio-informatics, biology, earth and atmospheric
sciences, fluid dynamics, materials science and engineering, medicine
and physics, 2) Performance and scalability studies of applications on
large-scale systems, 3) Special tuning and optimization strategies to
exploit maximum performance and scalability and 4) Unique usage
scenarios such as GPGPUs, MICs, etc.

Submission should include title of the presentation, speaker(s), short
bio of the speaker(s), and a draft version of the presentation (around
10-15 slides in PDF or PowerPoint format). Send your submission in a
single file to mug at cse.ohio-state.edu by July 1, 2013. Notification of
acceptance will be sent out by July 8, 2013.

Advanced Registration deadline for the event is July 15, 2013.
