They may present irregular data structures, irregular control flow or irregular communication. Current supercomputing systems are organized around components optimized for data locality and regular computation. Developing irregular applications on them demands a substantial effort, and often leads to poor performance. However, executing irregular applications efficiently will be a key requirement for future systems. The solutions needed to address irregular applications challenges can only come by considering the problem from all perspectives: from micro- to system-architectures, from compilers to languages, from libraries to runtimes, from algorithm design to data characteristics. Only collaborative efforts among researchers with different expertise, including end users, domain experts, and computer scientists, could lead to significant breakthroughs. This workshop aims at bringing together scientists with all these different backgrounds to discuss, define and design methods and technologies for efficiently supporting irregular applications on current and future systems. ------------------ Program ------------------ 9:00 – 10:00 Paper Session 1: Software Approaches for Irregular Applications – Chair: Vito Giovanni Castellana In-memory Data Compression for Sparse Matrices Orion Lawlor (U.

Call for Participation - Sixth International Workshop on Network on Chip Architectures (NoCArc-13)
by Masoud Daneshtalab 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ==================================================================== Call for Participation - NoCArc 2013 6th IEEE/ACM Int. Workshop on Network on Chip Architectures (http://www.unikore.it/nocarc/) To be held in conjunction with the 46th Annual IEEE/ACM Int. Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO-46) December 8th, 2013 Davis, California, USA ==================================================================== Organizers ------------------------ Maurizio Palesi and Terrence Mak (General Co-Chairs) Masoud Daneshtalab (TPC Chair) General Information ------------------------- Modern Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) today contains hundreds of Intellectual Properties (IPs)/cores, including, programmable processors, co-processors, accelerators, application-specific IPs, peripherals, memories, reconfigurable logic, and even analog blocks. We are now entered in the so called many-core era. The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors foresees that the number of Processing Elements (PEs) that will be integrated into a SoC will be in the order of thousand within the 2020. As the number of communicating elements increases, there is a need for an efficient, scalable and reliable communication infrastructure. As technology geometries shrink to the deep submicron regime, however, the communication delay and power consumption of global interconnections become the major bottleneck. The Network-on-Chip (NoC) design paradigm, based on a modular packet-switched mechanism, can address many of the on-chip communication issues such as performance limitations of long interconnects, and integration of large number of PEs on a chip. The goal of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss innovative ideas and solutions related to design and implementation of many-core systems-on-chip. This workshop will focus on issues related to design, analysis and testing of on-chip networks. We also look for new type of NoC-based computing paradigms inspired by biological systems to solve hard computational problems such as learning, recognition, and complex decision making.

24 Oct '13

Please note the paper submission deadlines for SIMUTools 2014 conference has been extended. - Abstract submissions are due by October 31, 2013 (Firm) - Short and full paper submissions are due by October 31, 2013 (Firm) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - SIMUTOOLS 2014 7th International ICST Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques www.simutools.org March 17-19, 2014, Lisbon, Portugal ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSORS -------- Sponsored by ICST, CREAT-NET, CISUC, IEEE In cooperation with ACM SIGSIM Endorsed by EAI SCOPE ----- SIMUTools 2014 is the seventh edition of the annual International Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques. The conference focuses on a broad range of research challenges in the field of simulation, modeling and analysis, addressing current and future trends in simulation techniques, models, practices and software. The conference is dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary collaborative research in these areas and across a wide spectrum of application domains. Building on the success of the previous six editions (2008-2013), this year's edition will provide an exciting forum for interaction among academic and industry researchers together with practitioners from both the simulation community and the different user communities. TOPICS ------ SIMUTools' general topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Simulation methods: discrete event, parallel and distributed simulation, time synchronization, load balancing and migration, model partitioning, hybrid simulation, simulation-interoperation, multi-resolution and multi-scale simulation * Simulation techniques: service-oriented, agent-based, web-based, component-based, symbiotic simulation * Simulation software: environments, tools, libraries, and frameworks * Simulation performance: GPU-based simulation, simulation in the cloud, scalability, performance analysis * Modeling formalisms: DEVS, Petri Nets, process algebras, state charts, and others * Simulation verification, validation, accreditation, and analysis: benchmark models, simulation-based verification, workflows, simulation experiment design, and optimization * Simulation packages: widely used frameworks such as Modelica, ns-2/3, OPNET, Qualnet, OMNET++, and other open source software for modeling and simulation The conference invites submissions on the topics above in all application areas of simulation. Submissions in interdisciplinary areas are especially encouraged. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: * Wireless technologies (cellular, vehicular, mesh, ad hoc, wireless sensor networks) * Network models (mobility models, traffic models, network topology) * Overlay networks, peer-to-peer networks * Parallel and distributed systems, high-performance computing systems * Operating systems * Fault tolerant systems * Embedded and real-time systems * Human behavioral models/representations * Infrastructural networks * Logistics and manufacturing * Environmental and biological systems * Multi-agent systems * Security and emergency applications * Military applications * Social networks * Epidemiology PAPERS ------ Papers describing significant research contributions of theoretical and/or practical nature are being solicited for submission to the conference. Authors are invited to submit original, high-quality papers presenting new research related to simulation software, methodologies, applications, and practices. While SIMUTools' main focus is on advances in simulation software and techniques, the submission of papers is encouraged on all aspects of simulation, modeling, and analysis, including broader theoretical and practical research contributions. Papers must be written in English and must not exceed 10 pages. Authors should submit papers via the SIMUTools conference website in PDF format, complying with the ACM conference proceedings style. Submitted papers must not have been submitted for review or published (partially or completely) elsewhere. Every paper will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Papers will be assessed based on originality, correctness, relevance, and quality of writing. In exceptional circumstances (such as papers evidently out of scope) may not receive full-length reviews and may be rejected summarily. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present the work in person at the conference. Short papers of 4 to 6 pages describing work in progress can also be submitted in the short paper category. PUBLICATION ----------- Accepted papers presented at the conference will appear in electronic proceedings, in the ACM DL (approval pending), and in EU-DL. 'Green' open access is endorsed, i.e., authors may make their papers available on their own web sites. SUBMISSION ---------- Detailed submission and formatting instructions are available at http://www.simutools.org/2014/ IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Main Conference Abstract submission deadline : October 31, 2013 (Firm) Short and full paper submission deadline : October 31, 2013 (Firm) Poster and demo submission deadline : December 15, 2013 Author notification : December 31, 2013 Camera-ready deadline : January 15, 2014 Conference : March 17-19, 2014 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE -------------------- General Chair: Fernando Barros (Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal) Program Chairs: Kalyan Perumalla (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA) Roland Ewald (University of Rostock, Germany) Publicity Chair: Srikanth Yoginath (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA) Organizing Chair: Ruzanna Najaryan (EAI) Web Chair: Alessandro Pellegrini (Sapienza University of Rome, Italy) TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE MEMBERS ------------------------------------ Gianfranco Balbo, University of Torino Wentong Cai, Nanyang Technological University Christopher Carothers, RPI Emiliano Casalicchio, University of Rome "Tor Vergata" Dave Cavalcanti, Philip Research North America Andrea D'Ambrogio, University of Rome "Tor Vergata" Lorenzo Donatiello, University of Bologna Stephan Eidenbenz, Los Alamos National Laboratory Marco Gribaudo, Politecnico di Milano Jan Himmelspach, Capgemini Maria Hybinette, University of Georgia Peter Kemper, College of William and Mary Cameron Kiddle, University of Calgary Nikolai Kornev, University of Rostock Samuel Kounev, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Michael Lees, Nanyang Technological University Margaret Loper, Georgia Tech Research Institute Johannes Lüthi, University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Fabien Michel, LIRMM - Université Montpellier II Oliver Obst, CSIRO Alfred Park, Microsoft Corporation David Parker, University of Birmingham Luiz Felipe Perrone, Bucknell University Francesco Quaglia, Sapienza, University of Rome George Riley, Georgia Institute of Technology Paolo Romano, INESC-ID/IST Rob Simmonds, University of Calgary Giovanni Stea, University of Pisa Steffen Strassburger, Ilmenau University of Technology Claudia Szabo, The University of Adelaide Gary Tan, National University of Singapore Yong Teo, National University of Singapore Mirco Tribastone, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Carl Tropper, McGill University Adelinde Uhrmacher, University of Rostock Victor C.
