Workshop 3: Sustainable Manufacturing:
Information Modeling for Sustainable
Manufacturing Standards, Methodologies and
Practices
Sunday, August 28, 2011
8:00am–12:00pm Location: Lexington
Instructors: Sudarasan Rachuri
(sudarsan.rachuri@nist.gov)
Anantha Narayanan
(anantha.narayanan@nist.gov)
Paul Witherell (paul.witherell@nist.gov)
Kevin Lyons (kevin.lyons@nist.gov)
Mahesh Man i (Mahesh.mani@nist.gov)

Overview:
Sustainability is a holistic systems approach for the production
and consumption of goods and services that minimizes
resource depletion while maximizing value to the producer,
consumer, and society at large. Sustainable manufacturing
takes into account various factors including: energy efficiency,
resource usage, health and safety of plant workers, and
depending on the markets, a variety of environmental
regulations. To maintain a competitive edge, manufacturers
must be able to quickly assess the impacts of different design
choices, and develop a good understanding of health, safety
and environmental regulations. This calls for a systems
approach that considers all aspects of the enterprise, and
comprehensively captures and utilizes the properties of the
various interacting systems.
Workshop 4: Teraflop Parallel Computing on a
Budget: Applications of Graphics Processing Unit
(GPU) Computing in Mechanical Engineering
Sunday, August 28, 2011
8:00am–5:00pm Location: Bunker Hill
Instructors: Dan Negrut (negrut@engr.wisc.edu)
Krishnan Suresh (suresh@engr.wisc.edu)
Sara McMains (mcmains@me.berkeley.edu)
Overview:
As the computer microprocessor industry rallies behind a new
design paradigm that emphasizes parallel architectures, today’s
computational methods in Mechanical Engineering, mostly
drawing on sequential computing algorithms, are gradually
becoming ill-positioned to answer the ever growing modeling
and simulation challenges posed by engineering applications. In
this landscape, the GPU recently emerged as a convenient and
inexpensive accelerator (co-processor) that can deliver today
0.5 TFlops at a cost of less than $1500. Enabling speedups by
factors of 10 to 100, GPU computing in particular and parallel
computing in general usher in an era where each one of us will
have Teraflop level computational speed at our fingerprints.

WORKSHOPS
This workshop provides a GPU computing how-to tutorial that
will be augmented with a hands-on GPU programming session.
The participants will have the opportunity to use their laptops to
remotely log into a GPU cluster and understand through
concrete hands-on examples some of the concepts covered in
the first part of the workshop. The workshop will conclude with
a discussion of optimization techniques for effective GPU
computing and an overview of research that has benefited from
the computational power available on today’s commodity GPU
cards.
Please note that due to a limit of 40 GPU-cluster accounts we
might not have user accounts for all workshop participants. The
cluster accounts will be available on a first-come first-served
basis.
Workshop 5: Precision Structronic and Mechatronic
Devices with Smart Materials
Sunday, August 28, 2011
8:00am–12:00pm Location: Congressional B
Instructor: Hornsen (HS) Tzou (hstzou@zju.edu.cn)
Overview:
“Smart structures and structronic systems” technology has
been evolving for over two decades. This tutorial focuses on the
design and application aspects of the technology. Histories,
fundamental characteristics, materials (e.g., piezoelectrics,
electro- and magneto-strictive materials, shape memory
materials, electro- and magneto-rheological fluids, photostrictive
materials, polyelectrolyte gels, pyroelectric materials, magnetooptical
materials, superconductors, etc.), design principles,
precision devices (sensors and actuators), micro-/nanoactuations,
and practical applications (from aerospace
structures, mechanical systems to micro-/nano-devices) are
emphasized. Modern research issues are also discussed.
