  • Aspects of microprocessor technologies and prospect of manycore technologies
  • Parallel programming models, environments and languages (MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, OpenCL, PGAS, ...) for multicore computing

  • Hardware-aware computing and architecture-aware approaches for parallel numerical simulations, implementation and algorithm design

  • Heterogeneous computing, adaptive and reconfigurable computing

  • Mathematical modeling, design of parallel algorithms and scalability issues
  • Parallelization strategies in hybrid and hierarchical setups
  • Autotuning strategies; portability and flexibility of software solutions

  • Library and tool support for parallel applications

  • Performance analysis and modeling
