SCOPE<br>
-----<br>
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and<br>
practitioners in parallel programming models and systems software for<br>
high-end computing systems. Please join us in a discussion of new<br>
ideas, experiences, and the latest trends in these areas at the<br>
workshop.<br>
<br>
<br>
