The Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing (PEARC) Conference Series is a community-driven effort built on the successes of the past, with the aim to grow and be more inclusive by involving additional local, regional, national, and international cyberinfrastructure and research computing partners spanning academia, government and industry. The PEARC Conference Series is working to integrate and meet the collective interests of our growing community by providing a forum for discussing challenges, opportunities and solutions among the broad range of participants in the research computing community. The PEARC Conferences are organized by a group of dedicated volunteers from the community and are sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society.
Date: Tuesday, August 18–Thursday, August 20
Location: Online
Registration deadline: Aug 11, 2020. Registration is free! First-come-first serve (500 slots).
This workshop is part of a 2-year conceptualization project funded by the NSF's Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR) program involving researchers from the University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, Penn State, Colorado State University, and the University of Virginia. This project aims to develop a framework that uses the unique capability of data science models to automatically learn patterns and models from data, without ignoring the treasure of accumulated scientific knowledge. Specifically, the project builds the foundations of knowledge-guided machine learning (KGML) by exploring several ways of bringing scientific knowledge and machine learning models together using pilot applications from four domains: aquatic ecodynamics, climate and weather, hydrology, and translational biology. For more information, please see the project website.

In this training session organized by the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS), engineers from Arm will introduce Arm Forge, an integrated environment for debugging and optimizing parallel codes at any scale. The session will provide hands-on demonstrations of how Arm Forge reduces development time, simplifies debugging, and ease application performance enhancement. This training session will focus primarily on two tools, Arm DDT and Arm MAP, both of which are available on ICDS-ACI. Arm DDT: Using sample codes, Arm engineers will walk through the major capabilities of the debugger to illustrate how DDT can debug applications ranging from a single thread to large scale (MPI debug examples used throughout).

This workshop, sponsored by American Institute of Mathematics and the National Science Foundation, will be devoted to analysis on the hypercube. The set of vertices of a unit cube is called the hypercube. It consists of vectors with coordinates zeros and ones. Series of open questions in computer science, especially in quantum computing such as Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture, can be formulated as mathematical problems on the hypercube which do not require any a priori knowledge of computer science to start solving them. It turns out that these questions have certain Fourier-analytic nature if one considers the hypercube as a Cantor group equipped with uniform measure. Unlike the classical case of the unit circle, many fundamental results in classical Fourier analysis and approximation theory, including Markov-Bernstein type inequalities, are not yet developed well enough to solve the problems raised in computer science. The goal of the workshop is to bring researchers with different backgrounds, including analysis, probability, combinatorics, and computer science, in order to introduce them to open problems on the hypercube, give lectures on the subject, strengthen the bridges between fields that overlap with the hypercube, and describe the recent results in this area This event will be run as an AIM-style workshop. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions. Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form no later than December 7, 2020. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. Before submitting an application, please read the description of the AIM style of workshop. For more information email workshops@aimath.org
