Workshop on High-Performance Computing and Optimization (HPCO-2013)

in conjunction with:

3PGCIC 2013

8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON P2P, PARALLEL, GRID, CLOUD AND INTERNET COMPUTING
www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/3PGCIC-2013
OCTOBER 28-30, 2013, COMPIEGNE, FRANCE

Scope

High-performance computing is very important for optimization. Large practical optimization problems unsolvable with a single computer due to the limited time always exist. Therefore, high-performance computers and distributed computing systems are very helpful. On the other hand optimization is helpful to high-performance computing in a broader scope allowing efficient exploitation of resources. This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in both high-performance computing and optimization to discuss recent trend in the area.

Topics

Parallel and distributed optimization algorithms
Parallel global optimization
Parallel branch and bound
Parallel metaheuristics
Parallel multicriteria optimization
Hierarchical optimization algorithms
Efficient exploitation of parallel and distributed systems
Optimization for cloud resource management
Applications of parallel and distributed optimization
