UCHPC 2012: Fifth Workshop on UnConventional High Performance Computing

As the word “UnConventional” in the title suggests, the workshop focuses on hardware and platforms for HPC, which were not intended for HPC in the first place. Reasons could be raw computing power, good performance per watt, or low cost in general. To address this unconventional hardware, often, new programming approaches and paradigms are required to make best use of it. Thus, a second focus of the workshop - for the first time with UCHPC 2012 - is on innovative new programming models for unconventional hardware and how to best combine its computing power with more conventional systems.
