The Fourth International Workshop on High Performance Computing for Nano-science and Technology (HPCNano08)

Nov. 15-21, Austin, Texas, USA

in conjunction with IEEE/ACM Supercomputing 2008 (SC|08)

Nanotechnology is an exciting field with many potential applications. Its impact is already being felt in materials, engineering, electronics, medicine, and other disciplines. Current research in nanotechnology requires multi-disciplinary knowledge, not only in sciences and engineering but also in high performance computing (HPC) technology. Many nano-science explorations rely on mature, efficient HPC and computational algorithms, practical and reliable numerical methods, and large-scale computing systems. This workshop offers academic researchers, developers, and practitioners an opportunity to discuss various aspects of HPC-related computational methods and problem solving techniques for nano-science and technology research.

The first workshop, HPCNano05 was a successful event held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM SC|05. The second workshop, HPCNano06 was held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM SC|06. The third workshop, HPCNano07 was held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM SC|07. The fourth one will be held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM SC|08. The workshop will be guided by the SC|08’s Workshop Committee and planned and executed by the workshop program committee. We hope to attract people from diverse science and engineering disciplines, nationally and internationally, to attend the workshop, present their research results, share their experiences and ideas, and plan future collaborations.

HPCNano|08 invites researchers to present their research work and/or submit original and unpublished work in any aspect of high performance computing in nano-science and technology.
