Scientific applications in high energy physics depend in many areas on floating point operations in single, double or even higher precision.
With the upcoming runs at the LHC, both the amount of data and the precision for its calculation will increase significantly and therefore the computing resource requirements. It has already been proven that the throughput of several physics applications can be significantly improved by the use of computing accelerators such as GPUs. In view of this change of computing towards a heterogeneous execution environment, the use of high precision floating point operations for algorithmic data processing deserves dedicated attention with a special focus on the projections for the evolution of future GPU architectures.
This workshop provides a forum to discuss the efficient use of those floating point operations in the context of compute accelerators and will touch on topics such as:
- The future evolution of hardware accelerators for high precision floating point operations
- Emulation of higher floating point operations on compute accelerators
- Tools and techniques to estimate and evaluate floating point operations precision
- Algorithmic approaches for leveraging lower precision floating point operations
The workshop will feature selected talks from hardware vendors and developers, computer scientists, physicists and mathematicians on the above topics and provide ample time for discussions.
The deadline for registration is June 20th, 2025.
