When viewing the Technical Program schedule, on the far righthand side is a column labeled "PLANNER." Use this planner to build your own schedule. Once you select an event and want to add it to your personal schedule, just click on the calendar icon of your choice (outlook calendar, ical calendar or google calendar) and that event will be stored there. As you select events in this manner, you will have your own schedule to guide you through the week.
A High Performance C++ Generic Benchmark for Computational Epidemiology

ABSTRACT:
We design a benchmark consisting of several kernels which capture the essential compute, communication, and, data access patterns of high performance contagion-diffusion simulations used in computational networked epidemiology. The goal is to (a) derive alternative implementations for computing the contagion by combining different implementation of the kernels, and (b) evaluate which combination of implementation, run-time, and hardware is most effective in running large scale contagion diffusion simulations.
Our proposed benchmark is designed using C++ generic programming primitives and lifting sequential strategies for parallel computations. Together these lead to a succinct description of the benchmark and significant code re-use when deriving strategies for new hardware. These aspects are crucial for an effective benchmark because the potential combination of hardware and runtimes are growing rapidly thereby making infeasible to write optimized strategy for the complete contagion diffusion from ground up for each compute system.
