CACHES 2011 Call For Papers: Workshop on Characterizing Applications for Heterogeneous Exascale Systems
by Gregory Diamos 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. If you'd like to opt out of these announcements, information on how to unsubscribe is available at the bottom of this email.] ===================================================================== The First International Workshop on Characterizing Applications for Heterogeneous Exascale Systems (CACHES 2011) held in conjunction with the 25th International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS 2011) Tucson, Arizona, June 4, 2011 http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/caches/2011 ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- As we look forward to the exascale era, heterogeneous parallel machines are expected to play a massive role in architecting the largest systems in the world. While there is significant interest in these architectures, much of this interest is an artifact of the hype associated with them. However, without understanding the behavior of detailed kernels or even entire applications on these architectures, it is unclear how future systems would be designed based on these architectures. For heterogeneous parallel machines to truly be a successful High Performance Computing platform, it is important that we obtain a complete picture of HPC applications and learn the opportunities and challenges these architectures raise. This workshop aims at providing a platform where the characteristics of computational kernels and applications, and how different software stacks impact them, are presented to the research community to guide future heterogeneous HPC system designs. SUBMISSIONS ----------- We solicit papers on all aspects of HPC application studies, including (but not limited to): * Categorizing/characterizing of HPC applications and kernels with respect to patterns in computation structure, communication, cache accesses, memory, I/O, and file accesses. * Evaluating the importance of individual kernels within an entire application. * Modeling for applications running on heterogeneous HPC systems. * Implication of workload characterization in heterogeneous design issues. * Benchmarking of applications, kernels or software stacks and tools supporting applications. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM SIG Proceedings alternate style (single-spaced, double-column format). All papers will be subjected to blind reviews. The submission site is http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caches2011 SPECIAL JOURNAL ISSUE --------------------- The workshop proceedings will be published electronically with the ICS proceedings via the ACM Digital Library. Selected papers will be published in the Journal of High Performance Computing Applications (JHPCA) with a special issue titled "Applications for the Heterogeneous Computing Era". IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * Submission deadline: Mar. 3rd, 2011, 11:59 PDT * Author Notification: Mar. 31st, 2011 * Camera-ready deadline: April 14th, 2011 WORKSHOP CHAIRS --------------- Jiayuan Meng, Argonne National Laboratory Pavan Balaji, Argonne National Laboratory PUBLICITY AND CYBER CHAIR ------------------------- Gregory Diamos, Georgia Institute of Technology PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- David Bader Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Taisuke Boku Tsukuba University, Japan Surendra Byna Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA Torsten Hoefler National Center for Supercomputing Applications, USA Hyesoon Kim Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Sriram Krishnamoorthy Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA Heshan Lin Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA Dimitris Nikolopoulos University of Crete/FORTH, Greece John Owens University of California, Davis, USA Allan Snavely University of California, San Diego Bronis de Supinski Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA Thomas Wenisch University of Michigan, USA Yunquan Zhang Chinese Academy of Sciences, China WEBSITE ------- http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/caches/2011 CONTACT ------- If you have any questions, please contact us at caches-chairs(a)mcs.anl.gov ======================================================================== The hpc-announce mailing list has been setup to have a common mailing list to share information with respect to upcoming HPC related events. You are included in this mailing list based on your participation or interest in a previous HPC conference or other event. The purpose for providing a single mailing list is to allow participants to easily identify such emails, and if you feel that the number of such emails is too many, possibly even filter them to less-frequently-read folders. However, if you do not wish to receive any emails from hpc-announce, you can unsubscribe from the mailing list (https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce) Once unsubscribed, we guarantee that you will not be added back in through participation in a different HPC related conference or event. You will need to send an email to hpc-announce-owner(a)mcs.anl.gov to be added back on. ========================================================================
