27 Aug '11

Due to multiple requests, we have extended the paper submission deadline to September 9th, 2011. We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: The Network-aware Data Management Workshop (NDM 2011) to be held in conjunction with SC 2011 Mon Nov 14th, 2011 - Seattle, WA The Network-aware Data Management Workshop (NDM 2011) will be held in conjunction with the IEEE/ACM International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC 2011), in Seattle, WA. The format will consist of 30 minute presentations of peer-reviewed papers. Accepted papers will be published in ACM or IEEE digital proceedings through SC'11. Scope: Accessing and managing large amounts of data is a great challenge in a collaborative environment where resources/scientists are geographically distributed. There is a need for efficient use of the network infrastructure in order to address the increasing data and compute requirements of large-scale applications. Since the amount of data is continuously growing, traditional techniques of leaving the burden on the user of moving/storing data is not a viable option in many cases. In order to deliver true exascale performance to the application layer, network-aware data management services for resource provisioning, intelligent data-flow and coordination between the host systems is highly desirable. This workshop will seek contribution from academia, government, and industry to discuss emerging trends in use of networking for data management, novel abstraction techniques for data representation, simplification of end-to-end data flow by providing transparent data services, end-to-end resource coordination, and network-aware tools for the scientific community. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Challenges in data-intensive distributed computing End-to-end resource provisioning Optimization and development of data transfer protocols Scalable services for network-aware applications Re-configurable end-to-end data-access frameworks Network-aware scheduling and resource brokering Advanced services for managing data-flow On-demand bandwidth allocation and network reservation Application pipelines and workflow management Network-aware toolkits for data distribution Data replication and metadata management Data clouds, data scheduling, and data placement Heterogeneous resource management Performance evaluation of network-aware data management One "Best Paper" would be awarded for outstanding contributing to the field of large-scale data management across network. In addition to that, two "Best Paper Honorable Mention" would be awarded. Important Dates: Abstract Submission Sept 2nd, 2011 (extended) Paper Submission due: Sept 9th, 2011 (extended) Notification of acceptance: Sept 26th, 2011 Camera-Ready version due: Oct 10th, 2011 Registration Deadline: Oct 14th, 2011 Workshop Date: Nov 14th, 2011 Workshop Web Sites: http://sites.google.com/a/lbl.gov/ndm2011/ http://sdm.lbl.gov/~balman/ndm2011 Submission Guidelines: Please submit full papers in PDF format via the submission site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ndm20110) No email submission would be accepted. The paper(s) should be no longer than ten (10) pages, excluding references. It should be typeset in IEEE conference format. Submissions that violate any of these restrictions will not be reviewed. The page limit will be enforced strictly. Reviewing of the full papers will be done by the program committee, assisted by external referees. The decision of the program committee is final. Accepted papers would be given a total of 30 mins. for presentation and question time. We would wrap up the day by summarizing the important open questions in the area. Workshop Activities: Invited Keynote Speaker: Ian Foster, University of Chicago & Argonne National Laboratory Title: TBA Panel Discussion: [At the end] Title: "Data Management in Exa-scale Computing and Terabit Networking Era" Panel members: To be determined If you have any further questions, please email Mehmet Balman and/or Suren Byna {mbalman,sbyna} at lbl.gov ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Best wishes, Suren https://sdm.lbl.gov/~sbyna

Dear Colleague Please find below the call for papers for the Second Workshop on Hybrid Multicore Computing to be held in conjunction with the International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC) in Banglaore, India. CALL FOR PAPERS Second Workshop on Hybrid Multi-core Computing Held in conjunction with HiPC 2011 Bangalore, December 18, 2011 http://www.iiit.ac.in/whmc2011 The second Workshop on Hybrid Multi-core Computing will be held in conjunction with the 18th International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC) being held at Bangalore, India. The workshop will focus on algorithmic, applied, and analytical issues in hybrid multi-core computing. The workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the rapidly evolving area of hybrid multi-core computing. Hybrid multi-core computing uses a mix of CPUs and special purpose accelerators to arrive at highly efficient, practical, and scalable solutions. This raises several important issues including the mechanism(s) to execute concurrently on a hybrid computing platform. The workshop will focus on issues emerging out of hybrid multi-core computing. The workshop shall feature invited talk(s) and also contributed research papers. Research papers addressing any of the topics listed below, and possibly beyond, in connection to hybrid multi-core computing are solicited. It is expected that papers are original, correct, and are of high technical quality. Papers should not be currently in submission at any workshop/conference/journal with a published proceedings. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following. * Hybrid computing algorithms and applications * Case studies and benchmark suites for hybrid programs * Programming models for hybrid multi-core computing * Issues in hybrid multi-core computing such as load balancing, synchronization * Scalability studies, auto-tuning, or frameworks for hybrid programs * Paradigms for hybrid multi-core computing * Performance issues and models for hybrid multi-core computing * Programming languages and tools for hybrid multi-core computing SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The workshop seeks original, correct, and novel submissions of high quality that are not currently under review at any other venue. Submissions should not exceed eight (8) pages in the two column IEEE conference format including references, tables, and all other material. An appendix can be included but there is no guarantee that the appendix shall also be read by the reviewers. Submissions that deviate significantly from the above guidelines may not be considered. All submitted papers shall be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers before arriving at a decision. Submissions are done through the Easychair URL: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=whmc2011 IMPORTANT DATES * Submission deadline: September 30, 2011 * Acceptance notification: October 1, 2011 * Camera Ready deadline: November 1, 2011 * Workshop Date: Dec 18th, 2011 ORGANIZATION General Chair * P. J. Narayanan, IIIT Hyderabad, India.
