The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analytics — better known simply as SC — has long been at the forefront in gathering the world’s leaders in supercomputing. Researchers in Argonne’s Mathematics and Computer Science (MCS) Division are playing a major role in this year’s event in New Orleans, LA, November 16-21, 2014.
One paper coauthored by MCS researchers has been selected as a finalist for the Best Paper:
- Nonblocking Epochs in MPI One-Sided Communication
Judicael Zounmevo, Xin Zhao, Pavan Balaji, William Gropp, and Ahmad Afsahi
Ten other papers coauthored by MCS researchers, with topics ranging from MPI to high-performance I/O to data storage, have been accepted for SC14’s highly competitive Technical Papers Program.
