CACHES 2011: Deadline extended to Mar. 17th, 11:59pm PDT, 2011
by Gregory Diamos 11 Mar '11

11 Mar '11

===================================================================== 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 with accelerators, such as GPUs, FPGAs, and upcoming on-chip accelerator cores, are expected to play a massive role in architecting the largest systems in the world. While there is significant interest in accelerator- based 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 accelerator-based heterogeneous systems 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 accelerator-based HPC system designs. SUBMISSIONS ----------- We solicit papers on all aspects of HPC application studies, especially those that involve accelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs, etc. The topics include (but are 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 accelerator-based heterogeneous HPC systems. * Implication of workload characterization in heterogeneous design issues. * Benchmarking of applications, kernels or software stacks and tools supporting applications. Submitted manuscripts are expected to be within 8 pages and 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 extended to: Mar. 17th, 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 Jonathan Cohen NVIDIA Corporation, 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 Yutong Lu National University of Defense Technologies, China Dimitris Nikolopoulos University of Crete/FORTH, Greece John Owens University of California, Davis, USA P.

IEEE International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing: Call for Papers
by Rajkumar Buyya 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2011/4th IEEE International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2011) December 5-8, Melbourne, Australia http://www.cloudbus.org/ucc2011/ Sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society, USA Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), USA Hosted/Supported by: * Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory The University of Melbourne, Australia * Indiana University, USA * University of Southern California, USA * Colorado State University, USA * Manjrasoft Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***************** CALL FOR PAPERS ***************** Introduction: ------------- Computing is being transformed to a model consisting of services that are commoditized and delivered in a manner similar to traditional utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and telephony. In such a model, users access services based on their requirements without regard to where the services are hosted or how they are delivered. Several computing paradigms have promised to deliver this utility computing vision and these include Grid computing, and more recently Cloud computing. Cloud computing has recently emerged as one of the buzzwords in the ICT industry. Several IT vendors are promising to offer storage, application and computation hosting services, and provide coverage in several continents, offering Service-Level Agreements (SLA) backed performance and uptime promises for their services. While these "clouds" are the natural evolution of traditional clusters and data centres, they are distinguished by following a "utility" pricing model where customers are charged based on their utilisation of computational resources, storage and transfer of data. These emerging services have reduced the cost of computation, application hosting and content storage and delivery by several orders of magnitude, however there is significant complexity involved in ensuring applications, services and data can scale when needed to ensure consistent and reliable operation under peak loads. To provide a dedicated forum for sharing recent R&D advances and industrial innovations in "Utility Computing" area, we have initiated this new conference series "International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing". This conference series has emerged out of previous successful Cloud computing events (Cloud 2009 held in Shanghai, China; Cloud 2010 held in Melbourne, Australia; and UCC 2010 held in Chennai, India). UCC 2011, as 4th event in the series, focuses on principles, paradigms, and applications of "Utility computing" and its practical realisation in industry especially in the form of Cloud Computing. Conference Scope: ----------------- Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Principles of Utility Computing - Architectural Models for Utility Computing - *aaS: Infrastructure, Platform, Software, Storage as a Service - Novel architectural models for cloud computing - Novel applications of cloud computing, including games and social networks - Novel cloud programming models - Innovative cloud pricing models - Innovative cloud service models - Support for scalable and elastic cloud services - New parallel / concurrent programming models for cloud computing - Cloud support for mobile applications and Content Delivery Networks - Data Security, Privacy, and Jurisdiction in the Cloud - Portability of applications and data between different cloud providers - Cloud-related virtualization issues - Deployment, maintenance, and management of cloud resources and services - (Multi-)Cloud resource brokering and scheduling - (Multi-)Cloud capacity planning - Reliability of applications and services running on the cloud - Interoperability between different Utility Computing Platforms including Grids, and Clouds - Performance monitoring for cloud applications - Cloud use case studies - Scientific computing in the cloud - Business computing in the cloud - Social computing in the cloud Best Paper Award: ----------------- A best paper award sponsored by Manjrasoft Pty. Ltd, Australia will be presented to a paper receiving the highest quality rating from the Program Committee and external reviewers. In addition, a special issue in a high quality international journal will be organised for selected best papers. Journal Special Issue: ----------------------- Highly rated Top 6 papers from the UCC 2011 conference will be selected for publication in a special issue of the "Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS)" Journal published by Elsevier Press. PAPER SUBMISSION: ---------------- Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed 8 ("eight") letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2 inches (16.51 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with columns 3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm) wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-point Times fully justified text).
