ParCo 2015

The University of Edinburgh is hosting the International Conference on Parallel Computing (ParCo) from 1-4 September 2015: http://www.parco2015.org/home

This is the latest in the series of biennial ParCo conferences that started in Berlin, 1983. This makes ParCo one of the longest running international conferences on parallel computing. Over the years, the conference has established itself as the foremost platform for exchanging know-how on the newest parallel computing strategies, technologies, methods, and tools.

ABOUT PARCO 2015

The aim of the conference is to give an overview of the state of the art of the developments, applications, and future trends in parallel computing for the whole range of platforms. The conference addresses all aspects of parallel computing, including applications, hardware and software technologies as well as languages and development environments.
