However, writing legible yet performant code in dynamic languages remains challenging, which limits the scalability of code written in such languages, particularly when deployed on massively parallel architectures such as clusters, cloud servers, and supercomputers. This workshop aims to bring together users, developers, and practitioners of dynamic technical computing languages, regardless of language, affiliation or discipline, to discuss topics of common interest. Examples of such topics include performance, software development, abstractions, composability and reusability, best practices for software engineering, and applications in the context of visualization, information retrieval and big data analytics. http://jiahao.github.io/hptcdl-sc14/ SUMMARY:HPTCDL: First Workshop for High Performance Technical Computing in Dynamic Languages PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
