This state-of-the-art survey features topics related to the impact of multicore manycore and
coprocessor technologies in science and large-scale applications in an interdisciplinary
environment. The papers included in this survey cover research in mathematical modeling design
of parallel algorithms aspects of microprocessor architecture parallel programming languages
hardware-aware computing heterogeneous platforms manycore technologies performance tuning
and requirements for large-scale applications. The contributions presented in this volume are
an outcome of an inspiring conference conceived and organized by the editors at the University
of Applied Sciences (HfT) in Stuttgart Germany in September 2012. The 10 revised full papers
selected from 21 submissions are presented together with the twelve poster abstracts and focus
on combination of new aspects of microprocessor technologies parallel applications numerical
simulation and software development thus they clearly show the potential of emerging
technologies in the area of multicore and manycore processors that are paving the way towards
personal supercomputing and very likely towards exascale computing.
