Hi,

We will be presenting a Charm++ tutorial on Monday, Nov 17, 8:30-noon in room 393 in New Orleans. Also, we have organized a BoF on Charm++ on Thursday, Nov 20, 12:15. As researchers with interest in Charm++, I’d like to invite you to the BoF and join the tutorial at SC14 if you can, if you are coming to SC14.

PPL is showcasing its success and talents in what proves to be its best year yet. This is an encore after a verysuccessful SC13 performance.

PPL members have six papers in the main conference technical program. Probably the highest for any research group. At SC13, PPL members had 4 papers in the main conference technical program.
PPL PhD Candidate Harshitha Menon won the prestigious George Michael fellowship, there will be an awards ceremony at 12:30PM on Thursday. Harshitha was also a best student paper finalist at SC13. Also at SC13, PPL student Jonathan Lifflander won the George Michael fellowship, while the only other winner (Edgar Solomnik) was a PPL alum! Yanhua Sun received honorable mention for the George Michael fellowship at SC12.
A recent PPL alum, Abhinav Bhatele will receive the IEEE TCSC Young Achievers in Scalable Computing award at SC14.
PPL will
