DESCRIPTION:\n	With Moore's Law alive and well\, more and more parallelism
  is introduced into all computing platforms at all levels of integration a
 nd programming to achieve higher performance and energy efficiency. Especi
 ally in the area of High-Performance Computing (HPC) users can entertain a
  combination of different hardware and software parallel architectures and
  programming environments. Those technologies range from vectorization and
  SIMD computation over shared memory multi-threading (e.g. OpenMP) to dist
 ributed memory message passing (e.g. MPI) on cluster systems. We will disc
 uss HPC industry trends and Intel's approach to it from processor/system a
 rchitectures and research activities to hardware and software tools techno
 logies. This includes the recently announced new Intel(r) Many Integrated 
 Core (MIC) architecture for highly-parallel workloads and general purpose\
 , energy efficient TFLOPS performance\, some of its architectural features
  and its programming environment. At the end we will have a brief look at 
 Exa-Scale computing\, its challenges and opportunities.\n\n	About the spea
 ker\n\n	Dr. Herbert Cornelius is WW HPC Solution Architect at Intel with f
 ocus on technical\, high-performance computing (HPC) and many-core computi
 ng. Before he was Engineering Manager in Intel's Cluster Software & Techno
 logies group in EMEA\, working on scalable parallel computing hardware & s
 oftware solutions based on vectorization\, multi-threading and message-pas
 sing utilizing multi-core/multi-processor cluster platforms. Before joinin
 g Intel\, he served as Manager High-End Computing Europe at Fujitsu and wo
 rked at Cray Research from 1983 to 1990. He received a Ph.D. degree in Mat
 hematics and Diploma degree in Mathematics and Informatics from Technical 
 University of Berlin\, Germany.\n\n	 \n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conference
