Schedule

Below is a tentative schedule for the workshop. It is subject to change, so check back closer to the dates of the workshop.

The goal of the workshop is to provide a productive environment for solving open problems in parallel algorithms and data structures. Therefore, the schedule will include only a limited number of talks on the parallel models of computation and open problems, while majority of the time will be reserved for problem solving sessions. During these sessions, participants are free to break up into groups of their choosing to work on open problems of their choice. Each day will conclude with a report from each group (3-5 minutes per group) on the progress that has been made by that group to provide opportunity by other participants to contribute.

Social Event

We will have a BBQ at Magic Island. Magic Island is a peninsula adjacent Ala Moana Beach Park (bring your swimsuits as the beach is only a few feet away) and is very popular among locals and tourists alike for beautiful views of the sunset. We will be grilling somewhere on the grassy area on the peninsula — it’s hard to say where exactly as it’ll depend on the availability. But it’s not a huge place, so you will be able to easily find us.

If instead of the BBQ the participants prefer to try surfing, they can take a surfing lesson from one of many surfing schools in Waikiki (the participants will be responsible for booking their own lesson).
