[DynInst_API:] Save the date: 2015 Petascale Tools Workshop

[Barton Miller <bart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

                             2015 Petascale Tools Workshop
                          (plus Dyninst/MRNet Annual Meeting)

We would like to invite you to attend the 2015 edition of the Petascale Tools Workshop,
formerly known as the CScADS Tools Workshop. The workshop will be a 3.5 day event to
be held August 3-6 at the Granlibakken Resort at Lake Tahoe

This is a meeting attended by tool researchers and developers to discuss common interests
and work to advance the state of the art. The organization of this year's workshop will
be like that of prior years. For the benefit of those of you who have not attended in the
past, this is a working workshop that aims to foster exchange of ideas and catalyze
collaboration with colleagues in the field.  The schedule for the workshop will include a
balance between attendee presentations and working groups focused on topics of interest to
two or more attendees. Working groups can include joint work on a piece of software,
exchange of information to address immediate needs, work to develop a standard, discussion
of opportunities for collaboration, or brainstorming about how to address challenges ahead.

We will be housed at the Granlibakken Resort. The total fee will be either $734 per
person (double occupancy) or $965 per person (single), including meeting costs,
4 nights hotel room, and all meal costs (breakfast, lunch and dinner). This fee
assumes a Sunday arrival and departure after lunch on Thursday.

The meeting website will be up by the middle of March, with registration and local
arrangements information.

Attendees are not required to make a presentation, but you are encouraged to do so.
If you would like to present your work, you will need to send us a title and brief abstract
for your proposed talk.

Once we have an initial attendee list, we will solicit topics for working groups and (as in
prior years) select the final topics at the meeting after assessing attendee interests. If
you and another participant want to collaborate on any related topic, this is the place you
can do it.

This workshop is an open event.  You are welcome to pass along this invitation to colleagues
that you think would benefit from attending the workshop. 

On August 7, after the Petascale Tools Workshop, we'll have a half day covering topics
related to Dyninst and MRNet in place of the usual Paradyn Week meeting. This is the place
to get the latest updates and spend one-on-one time with the project staff.

Looking forward to seeing you at Lake Tahoe.

best,

PS: "Petascale" maybe passe by now, so we might update the workshop title in the next few
    weeks to be more forward looking.  Maybe "Scalable Tools Workshop" or (sigh) "Exascale
    Tools Workshop".
