HPC-GECO is a series of workshop on technologies and methods to exploit Computational Grid platforms for HPC.
Grid-based HPC environments, which may aggregate hundreds of
high-performance parallel computers and millions of workstations, pose
a daunting challenge to the design and deployment of HPC applications.
The design methodology used and its supporting environment influence
the qualities of the design process: HPC on Grids has to fulfill
requirements of high performance and fault tolerance, the ability to
support dynamically adaptive behaviour, and to exploit hardware and
software resources which are heterogeneous.
HPC-GECO focuses on the application of component-based and high level approaches to environments and tools for Grid programming, in order to provide the mentioned features and at the same time to address the need for programmability, scalability and manageable complexity of applications, for software reuse and speed of the software development cycle.
The third edition of the workshop has undergone a name change, in the process of consolidating the ties between the EU and the USA-based communities doing research on components and frmeworks for high-performance, parallel and distributed programming.

The second edition of the workshop took place in Montréal, Canada, within the OOPSLA 2007 conference. The workshop joined forces again with the 2007 edition of the CompFrame Workshop, and it was sposored by the FP6 Network of Excellence CoreGRID and by the ACM.
Workshop Proceedings were published in the ACM digital library.
