CFP : Workshop on Multicore and GPU Programming Models, Languages and Compilers Workshop, PLC 2013, Boston, USA
by Sunita Chandrasekaran 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

[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.] ===================================================================== International Workshop on Multicore and GPU Programming Models, Languages and Compilers Workshop (PLC 2013) http://www2.cs.uh.edu/~hpctools/plc2013/ held in conjunction with the 27th International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2013) Boston, USA, May 20th, 2013 http://www.ipdps.org/ipdps2013/2013_workshops.html ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS PLC 2013 --------------- The developer is challenged to come up with a programming strategy that will cater to the three important pillars of heterogeneous systems; Productivity, Portability, Performance. Software is an expensive investment (especially in a broad commercial context), creating a programming strategy with longevity so that code may be written once and ported easily, so more than one hardware platform may be utilized. Having said that, how to seamlessly execute legacy applications on heterogeneous platforms that consist of general purpose processors and accelerators by hiding the underlying low level details of the platform from the programmer? There are other programming challenges such as exploiting fine grain parallelism and locality-aware scheduling. This workshop aims to bring the programming community together to explore and discuss various options to make programming heterogeneous systems less challenging and more interesting. The workshop seeks to explore programming methodologies in the form of directive-based approaches, language extensions, novel tools and techniques to create a portable, scalable and productive programming environment. This workshop provides a forum for the presentation of research on all aspects of heterogeneous systems programming models, compiler optimizations, language extensions, and software tools for such systems. SUBMISSIONS ----------- Areas of interest include but are not limited to the following topics: * Multicore processors and Heterogeneous systems * Programming models: thread and task based models, data parallel models, stream programming * Language extensions for GPU programming/environments: C/C++ extensions for GPU programming OpenMP extensions for Accelerator OpenCL/CUDA OpenACC CAL OpenHMPP * Compiler optimizations and tuning Heterogeneous systems SIMDization/Vectorization Parallelization and locality optimizations Reducing synchronization and scheduling overheads on GPU and Multicore Tiling, parametric tiling and offloading * Runtime systems for Heterogeneous systems * Debuggers, and performance analysis tools for Heterogeneous systems * Operating systems and virtual shared memory for Heterogeneous systems * Software tools for discovering parallelism * Application frameworks, Case studies, design patterns, and domain-specific languages for developing manycore applications Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. In addition, we solicit papers from practitioners describing problems and experiences building software tools for Multicore processors and GPU accelerators. Full paper submissions should not exceed 10 pages in standard IEEE conference format. Papers should be submitted electronically through the workshop web site at easychair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=plc2013 Proceedings of accepted papers will be made available at the workshop. Selected papers will appear in the special issue of IEEE Journal (TBD later). Authors of accepted papers will have the option to decide if they want their papers to appear in this special issue. Submitted papers must not be simultaneously under review for any other conferences, and authors should point out any substantial overlap with their previously published or currently submitted work. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * Paper Submission Deadline: Jan 11th, 2013 * Paper Acceptance Notification: Feb 15th, 2013 * Camera Ready Due: Feb 21th, 2013 * Workshop Date: May 20th, 2013 ORGANIZERS ---------- STEERING COMMITTEE ------------------ Guang R.

High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing (HP-PAC) Workshop
by Bronis R. de Supinski 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

*************** CALL FOR PAPERS *************** ================================================ Eighth IEEE Workshop on High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing (HP-PAC) May 20, 2013 to be held in conjunction with IPDPS May 20 - 24, 2013 Boston, Massachusetts USA ================================================ SCOPE ----- High-performance computing is and has always been performance-oriented. However, a consequence of the push towards maximum performance is increased energy consumption, especially in datacenters and supercomputing centers. Moreover, as peak performance is rarely attained, some of this energy consumption results in little or no performance gain. In addition, large energy consumption costs datacenters and supercomputing centers a significant amount of money and wastes natural resources. The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in high-performance, power-aware computing (HPPAC). HPPAC will present research that reduces (1) power consumption, (2) energy consumption, or (3) heat generation with little or no performance penalty in high-performance computing systems. In effect, the workshop aims to move towards "greener" solutions for datacenters and supercomputing centers. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following. . Novel power-aware architectures for HPC . Power-aware middleware for HPC . Power-aware runtime systems for HPC . Reduced power/energy/heat algorithms & applications . Surveys or studies of power/energy/heat usage of HPC applications and systems PROCEEDINGS ----------- The proceedings of this workshop will be published together with the proceedings of other IPDPS '13 workshops by the IEEE Computer Society Press. PAPER SUBMISSIONS ----------------- All papers should not exceed 8 single-spaced, double column pages (US Letter) in 10pt font. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted papers will appear in the printed program book and CD-ROM proceedings of the main conference, IPDPS2013. The submission site is now open. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submission: 14 January 2013 at 11:59PM EST Author notification: 14 February 2013 Camera-ready due: 28 February 2013 WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS ------------------ Bronis R. de Supinski, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA Dong Li, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- Kevin Barker, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Patrick Bridges, University of New Mexico Laura Carrington, San Diego Supercomputer Center Wuchun Feng, Virginia Tech Canturk Isci, IBM Rong Ge, Marquette University Roberto Gioiosa, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Rob Knauerhase, Intel Labs Laurent Lefevre, INRIA and University of Lyon David Lowenthal, University of Arizona Naoya Maruyama, RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science Tali Moreshet, Swarthmore College Suzanne Rivoire, Sonoma State University CONTACT INFO ------------ web: http://ft.ornl.gov/~dol/workshops/hppac13/ email: lid1(a)ornl.gov

ICAC2013 CFP (10th International Conference on Autonomic Computing)
by Ming Zhao 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

CAC 2013 Call for Papers ------------------------- 10th International Conference on Autonomic Computing June 26-28, 2013 San Jose, CA Sponsored by USENIX, the Advanced Computing Systems Association https://www.usenix.org/conference/icac13 * Important Dates Paper registrations (title and abstract) due: February 25, 2013, 11:59 p.m. PST Paper submissions due: March 4, 2013, 11:59 p.m. PST Notification to authors: April 8, 2013 Final paper files due: May 22, 2013 * Overview ICAC is the leading conference on autonomic computing techniques, foundations, and applications. Large-scale systems of all types, such as data centers, compute clouds, sensor networks, embedded or pervasive environments, and the Internet of Things are becoming increasingly complex and burdensome for people to manage. Autonomic computing systems reduce this burden by managing their own behavior in accordance with high-level goals. In autonomic systems, resources and applications are managed to maximize performance and minimize cost, while maintaining predictable and reliable behavior in the face of varying workloads, failures, and malicious threats. Achieving self-management requires and motivates research that spans a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, including distributed systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, modeling, control theory, optimization, planning, decision theory, user interface design, data management, software engineering, emergent behavior, and bio-inspired computing. ICAC brings together researchers and practitioners from disparate disciplines, application domains, and perspectives, enabling them to discover and share underlying commonalities in their approaches to making resources, applications, and systems more autonomic. * Topics Papers are solicited from all areas of autonomic computing, including (but not limited to): ** Self-managing components, such as compute, storage, and networking devices; embedded and real-time systems; and mobile devices such as smart phones ** AI and mathematical techniques, such as machine learning, control theory, operations research, probability and stochastic processes, queuing theory, rule-based systems, and bio-inspired techniques, and their use in autonomic computing ** End-to-end design and implementations for management of resources, workloads, availability, performance, reliability, power/cooling, security, and others ** Monitoring systems that can scale to large environments ** Hypervisors, operating systems, middleware, or application support for autonomic computing ** Novel human interfaces for monitoring and controlling autonomic systems ** Goal specification and policies, including specification and modeling of service-level agreements, behavior enforcement, IT governance, and business-driven IT management ** Frameworks, principles, architectures, and toolkits, from software engineering practices and experimental methodologies to agent-based techniques ** Automated management techniques for emerging applications, systems, and platforms, including social networks, Big Data systems, multi-core processors, and Internet of Things ** Fundamental science and theory of self-managing systems for understanding, controlling, or exploiting emergent system behaviors to enforce autonomic properties ** Applications of autonomic computing and experiences with prototyped or deployed systems solving real-world problems in science, engineering, business, or society ** Papers will be judged on originality, significance, interest, correctness, clarity and relevance to the broader community. Papers are strongly encouraged to report on experiences, measurements, user studies, and provide an appropriate quantitative evaluation if at all possible. * Paper Submissions Full papers (a maximum of 10 pages) and short papers (4 pages) are invited on a wide variety of topics relating to autonomic computing. Both full and short papers should be typeset in two-column format in 10 point type on 12 point (single-spaced) leading, with the text block being no more than 6.5" wide by 9" deep. Both kinds of papers should be submitted via the Web submission form, which will be available here soon. Complete formatting and submission instructions can be found here. Authors are also encouraged to submit a poster or demo that summarizes or augments their paper (see below). Simultaneous submission of the same work to multiple venues, submission of previously published work, or plagiarism constitutes dishonesty or fraud. USENIX, like other scientific and technical conferences and journals, prohibits these practices and may take action against authors who have committed them. See the USENIX Conference Submissions Policy for details. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms will not be considered. If you are uncertain whether your submission meets USENIX's guidelines, please contact the program co-chairs, icac13chairs(a)usenix.org, or the USENIX office, submissionspolicy(a)usenix.org. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to present the paper in person at the conference. The accepted papers will be available online to registered attendees before the conference and will also appear in proceedings distributed via USB drives at the conference. If your accepted paper should not be published prior to the event, please notify production(a)usenix.org. The papers will be available online to everyone beginning on June 26, 2013. Accepted submissions will be treated as confidential prior to publication on the USENIX ICAC '13 Web site; rejected submissions will be permanently treated as confidential. * Special Tracks To facilitate community collaboration and exchange of ideas in emergent technological areas, ICACÂ¡Â¯13 will host two special tracks, each of which will be reviewed by its own subcommittee. Dr. Levent GÂ¨Â¹rgen will lead a special track on self-aware Internet of Things and Dr. Karsten Schwan will lead a special track on management of Big Data systems. * Posters, Demonstrations, and Exhibitions ICAC '13 will also feature a poster, demonstration, and exhibition session consisting of research prototypes and technology artifacts that demonstrate autonomic software or autonomic computing principles. Please check back here for formatting and submission instructions, plus the Web submission form specific to this session, which will be available here soon. * PhD Thesis Digest Forum Current PhD students who are working on topics relevant to autonomic computing are invited to submit a short summary (up to 2 pages) of their theses. Top selected submissions will be presented at a PhD forum during the ICAC '13 conference. Please check back here for submission instructions. * Conference Organizers: ** General Chair: Jeffrey Kephart, IBM Research ** Program Co-Chairs: Calton Pu, Georgia Institute of Technology; Xiaoyun Zhu, VMware ** Poster/Demo/Exhibit Chair: Samuel Kounev, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ** PhD Forum Chair: Rean Griffith, VMware ** Publicity Chairs: Martina Maggio, Lund University; Ming Zhao, Florida International University ** Program Committee: Tarek Abdelzaher, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Artur Andrzejak, Heidelberg University Sara Bouchenak, INRIA Giuliano Casale, Imperial College London Yuan Chen, HP Labs Charles Consel, INRIA Alva Couch, Tufts University Peter Dinda, Northwestern University Joao E.
