Submission deadline extended for Fault-Tolerance for HPC at Extreme Scale Workshop (FTXS 2012)
by Stearley, Jon 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

In response to multiple requests, we have decided to extend the submission deadline from March 16 to March 23: EXTENDED CALL FOR PAPERS: 2nd International Workshop on Fault-Tolerance for HPC at Extreme Scale (FTXS 2012) In conjunction with The 42nd Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN 2012) Boston, Massachusetts, USA on June 25-28, 2012. WORKSHOP MOTIVATION For the HPC community, a new scaling in numbers of processing elements has superseded the historical trend of Moore's Law scaling in processor frequencies. This progression from single core to multi-core and many-core will be further complicated by the community's immanent migration from traditional homogeneous architectures to ones that are heterogeneous in nature. As a consequence of these trends, the HPC community is facing rapid increases in the number, variety, and complexity of components, and must thus overcome increases in aggregate fault rates, fault diversity, and complexity of isolating root cause. Recent analyses demonstrate that HPC systems experience simultaneous (often correlated) failures. In addition, statistical analyses suggest that silent soft errors can not be ignored anymore, because the increase of components, memory size and data paths (including networks) make the probability of silent data corruption (SDC) non-negligible. The HPC community has serious concerns regarding this issue and application users are less confident that they can rely on a correct answer to their computations. Other studies have indicated a growing divergence between failure rates experienced by applications and rates seen by the system hardware and software. At Exascale, some scenarios project failure rates reaching one failure per hour. This conflicts with the current checkpointing approach to fault tolerance that requires up to 30 minutes to restart a parallel execution on the largest systems. Lastly, stabilization periods for the largest systems are already significant, and the possibility that these could increase in length is of great concern. During the Approaching Exascale report at SC11, DOE program managers identified resilience as a black swan - the most difficult under-addressed issue facing HPC. OPEN QUESTIONS What does the fault-tolerance community need to do in order to be prepared to face the challenges of extreme scale computing? What is needed to keep applications with billions of threads of parallelism up and running on systems that fail tens of times per day? As models predict less than 50% efficiency of traditional checkpoint/restart methods on future systems, are we ready to pay the cost of full redundancy, effectively performing redundant multi-threading (RMT) across entire systems? Do we even have the infrastructure necessary to implement an RMT strategy? How is the supercomputing community going to efficiently isolate failures on enormously complex systems? Is there any chance to understand these systems in such a way that some failure could be predicted with enough accuracy and anticipation to trigger useful failure avoidance actions? What can the community do to protect applications from SDC in memory and logic? How far the user and the programmer should be involved in managing faults? What are the most promising self-healing numerical methods? GOALS The goals of this workshop are to consider these complex questions, to discuss the unique limitations that extreme scale and complexity impose on traditional methods of fault-tolerance, and to explore new strategies for dealing with those challenges. PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submissions are solicited in the following categories: * Regular papers presenting innovative ideas improving the state of the art. * Experience papers discussing the issues seen on existing extreme-scale systems, including some form of analysis and evaluation. * Extended abstracts proposing disruptive ideas in the field, including some form of preliminary results Submissions shall be sent electronically, must conform to IEEE conference proceedings style and should not exceed six pages including all text, appendices, and figures. All papers will be published, as workshop papers, in the DSN 2012 proceedings and on IEEE Xplore. TOPICS Assuming hardware and software errors will be inescapable at extreme scale, this workshop will consider aspects of fault tolerance peculiar to extreme scale that include, but are not limited to: * Quantitative assessments of cost in terms of power, performance, and resource impacts of fault-tolerant techniques, such as checkpoint restart, that are redundant in space, time or information * Novel fault-tolerance techniques and implementations of emerging hardware and software technologies that guard against silent data corruption (SDC) in memory, logic, and storage and provide end-to-end data integrity for running applications; Studies of hardware / software tradeoffs in error detection, failure prediction, error preemption, and recovery * Advances in monitoring, analysis, and control of highly complex systems * Highly scalable fault-tolerant programming models * Metrics and standards for measuring, improving and enforcing the need for and effectiveness of fault-tolerance * Failure modeling and scalable methods of reliability, availability, performability and failure prediction for fault-tolerant HPC systems * Scalable Byzantine fault tolerance and security from single-fault and fail-silent violations * Benchmarks and experimental environments, including fault-injection and accelerated lifetime testing, for evaluating performance of resilience techniques under stress IMPORTANT DATES Submission of papers: EXTENDED TO MARCH 23, 2012 Author notification: April 6, 2012 Camera ready papers: April 27, 2012 Workshop: June 25, 2012 WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS Nathan DeBardeleben - Los Alamos National Laboratory Jon Stearley - Sandia National Laboratories Franck Cappello - INRIA & University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign PROGRAM COMMITTEE George Bosilca - University of Tennessee, Knoxville Greg Bronevetsky - Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory John Daly - Department of Defense Christian Engelmann - Oak Ridge National Laboratory Kurt Ferreira - Sandia National Laboratories Ana Gainaru - University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Hideyiki Jitsumoto - University of Tokyo Zbigniew Kalbarczyk - University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Rakesh Kumar - University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Zhiling Lan - Illinois Institute of Technology Yve Robert - ENS Lyon Wuyts Roel - (Intel ExaScience Lab, Leuven, Belgium) and KU Leuven (Leuven, Belgium) Felix Salfner - SAP Innovation Center Potsdam Mitsuhisa Sato - University of Tsukuba Stephen Scott - Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Tennessee Tech University See http://institute.lanl.gov/resilience/workshops/ftxs2012/ and http://2012.dsn.org<http://2012.dsn.org/> for more information.
