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.
You can also create your personal schedule on the SC11 app (Boopsie) on your smartphone. Simply select a session you want to attend and "add" it to your plan. Continue in this manner until you have created your own personal schedule. All your events will appear under "My Event Planner" on your smartphone.

ABSTRACT: We present a multi-dimensional, atomistic, quantum transport simulation approach to investigate the performances of realistic nanoscale transistors. The core operation consists in solving the Schroedinger equation with open boundary conditions several thousand times. To do that, a Wave Function approach is used since it can be relatively easily parallelized. To further improve the computational efficiency, three additional levels of parallelization are identified, the work load is optimally balanced between the CPUs, computational interleaving is applied where possible, and a mixed precision scheme is introduced. Using two different device types, a high electron mobility and a band-to-band tunneling transistor, sustained performances up to 1.28 PFlop/s in double precision (55% of the peak performance) and 1.44 PFlop/s in mixed precision are reached on 221,400 cores on the CRAY-XT5 Jaguar at Oak Ridge National Lab.
