10:30W6.3Architectures - Posters Session - Coffee Break (Posters program will be posted online)

Monday and Friday morning and afternoon coffee breaks will be located in the Salle de Reception. On Tuesday-Thursday the breaks will be located in the Exhibition Hall. Morning and afternoon (with the exception of Thursday afternoon which is a 30 minute break) coffee breaks on Tuesday-Thursday are extended breaks and will run for 60 minutes (coffee points will be open for the first 30 minutes only) from the start time indicated in the programme.
11:00W6.4Embedding High Performance Computing: A supercomputer in your pocket or ultra low power exaflop design?

Panel Organiser and Moderator:
Georgi Gaydadjiev, Chalmers University of Technology, SE

Panelists:
Todd Austin, The University of Michigan, US
Patrick Blouet, ST Ericsson, FR
John Goodacre, ARM, UK
Andreas Moshovos, University of Toronto, CA
Alex Ramirez, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, ES
Eugenio Villar, University of Cantabria, ES


Bringing together experts from embedded computing and high-performance computing, this panel is organized to open the discussion about the common research challenges and synergies in these two areas, which have been recently magnified by the increasing ubiquity of many-cores and heterogeneity across the whole computing spectrum.
