1th Workshop on Complex Problems over High Performance Computing Architectures (CPHPCA’15)
by Pedro Valero Lara 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

*1th Workshop on Complex Problems over High Performance Computing Architectures (CPHPCA’15)* Focus topic “High Performance Computing Programming” in conjunction with *ARCS 2015, *Porto, Portugal, March 24th – 27th, 2015 *Call for Papers * *Focus* The main proposal of CPHPCA is to provide a scenario to discuss how problems with important challenges and high computational requirements can be mapped over current and upcoming high performance architectures. The importance of high performance computing is continually rising and has emerged as one of the foremost fields of research. This brings up many issues, in form of new network topologies and technologies (fast accessing data), new low-consumption architectures, new programming models, etc. It forces us to adapt our codes or create new ones to take advantages of the latest computational features. This workshop focuses on the challenges of how to adapt/implement complex and big problems on platforms composed by a high number of cores, dealing with communication, programming, heterogeneous architectures, load balancing, benchmarking, etc. Today, the difficulty of the problems to be implemented is increasing considerably, large data and computational requirements, dynamic behavior, numerical simulations, automatic models, are just a few examples of this kind of problems. Our target is to bridge the gap between the theory of complex problems (computational fluid dynamics, bioinformatics, lineal algebra, big data computing, ...) and high performance computing platforms by proposing advances in programming. *Topics* Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original and unpublished research in all areas related with programming of complex problems via parallel and distributed processing. Works focusing on emerging architectures and big computing challenges are specially welcome. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: · New strategies to improve performance. · Code adapting to take advantages of lastest features. · Numerical modeling for complex problems. · Communication, synchronization, load balancing. · Benchmarking, performance and numerical accuracy analysis. · Scalability of algorithms and data structures. · Analysis and proposing of new programming models. · Adaptive self-tuning computing systems. · High level abstraction tools ... *Keynote speakers* *Manuel Ujaldón (CUDA Fellow): Emerging trends in GPU computing and new CUDA features* After a decade being used as hardware accelerators, GPUs constitute nowadays a solid alternative for high performance computing at an affordable cost. Increasing volumes of data managed by large-scale applications make GPUs very attractive for scientific computing, deploying SIMD parallelism in an unprecedented way. This talk will review current achievements of many-core GPUs, recent and future hardware enhancements, and emerging challenges to leverage GPUs as accelerators within general-purpose exascale computing. Examples and case studies will be given of software features (dynamic parallelism, unified memory), hardware issues (Hyper-Q, 3D-DRAM) and disruptive low-power devices (Tegra, Jetson and Denver from Nvidia). *Guidelines for submission of contributions to workshops:* ARCS 2015 Workshop Proceedings will be published through VDE Verlag on CD and online by the IEEE Computer Society through the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Workshop papers should not exceed 8 pages (full papers) or 4 pages (short papers) in IEEE format A4, templates can be found [here]. <http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html> By submitting a paper, the authors accept the copyright form. <http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/arcs2015/VDE_copy_engl.pdf> *Important Dates:* Submission: *December 15, 2014 * to: pvalero(a)bcamath.org Notification: *January 25, 2014* Camera-ready: *February 16, 2015 * Workshop: *March 24, 2015 * *Workshop Chairs* P.

CFP-International Journal of Parallel Programming-Special Issue on Sequential Code Parallelization
by 王超 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

| | Call for Papers Special Issue on Sequential Code Parallelization International Journal of Parallel Programming Editor-in-Chief: Professor Alexandru Nicolau | Parallelization is now the standard way of computing. To bridge the gap between parallel hardware resources and the performance/cost, programmers must reform applications with the target parallel architecture knowledge. It means writing parallel programs is much more difficult and unnatural than writing sequential codes. However, the traditional automatic instruction-level parallelism will not make full use of the state-of-the-art hardware architectures, especially for cutting-edge applications and future trends in parallel computing for various platforms. This special issue addresses all aspects of Sequential Code Parallelization. Authors are invited to submit original papers, and the main scopes of interest are (but not limited to): l Automatic extraction of parallelism l Dataflow execution model and phase analysis methodologies l Instruction-level parallelism, task-level parallelism, thread-level parallelism, or hybrid levels of parallelism. l Software transactional memory l Speculative Parallelization, Software Pipelines, high level Superscalar techniques. l Parallel programming models for homogenous and heterogeneous Multicore/Manycore platforms (e.g.OpenCL, MapReduce, OpenMP…) l Hardware/software codesign in parallelization l Out-of-order execution schemes l Parallelization for emerging big data applications (e.g. big data, bioinformatics, deep learning, data mining) l Debugging, Verification and Performance Tuning for parallelization execution. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Conference papers presented at ISPA 2014 and EUC 2014 may only be submitted if the paper was completely re-written or substantially extended (30%). The papers should be submitted via the Manuscript Central website and should adhere to standard formatting requirements. Authors should submit their journal version at Manuscript Central adhering to the formatting instructions on the journal Web page and indicate that you are submitting to the Special Issue on Sequential Code Parallelization on the first page and in the field "Author's Cover Letter:" in manuscript central. For additional questions please send an email to the Guest Editors. Time Table: Paper submission: November 30, 2014  1st round review notification: March 31, 2015  1st revision due: May 30, 2015  2nd round review notification: July 15, 2015 2nd revision due: August 15, 2015 Final acceptance: September 15, 2015  Please notice that the scheduled review dates are approximate dates and subject to change. We will kindly inform you about the review results as soon as a decision was made.

PMAM 2015 CFP The 6th International Workshop on Programming Models and Applications for Multicores and Manycores will be co-located with the PPoPP 2015 conference in February 7-11, 2015, San Francisco Bay Area. Rapid advancements in multicore and chip-level multi-threading technologies open new challenges and make multicore systems a part of the computing landscape. From high-end servers to mobile phones, multicores and manycores are steadily entering every single aspect of the information technology. However most programmers are trained in sequential programming, yet most existing parallel programming models are prone to errors such as data race and deadlock. Therefore to fully utilise multicore and manycore hardware, parallel programming models that allow easy transition of sequential programs to parallel programs with good performance and enable development of error-free codes are urgently needed. This workshop is dedicated primarily to gather researchers and practitioners addressing the main challenges and share experiences in the emerging multicore and manycore software engineering and distributed programming paradigm. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for people interested in programming environments, models, tools and applications specifically designed for parallel multicore and manycore hardware environments. The program committee cordially invites any novel research ideas in (but not limited to) the following topics: programming models and systems for multicore, manycore, and clusters of multicore/manycore multicore and manycore software engineering parallel and distributed algorithms on GPU and multicore clusters parallel libraries and frameworks performance analysis, efficiency and effectiveness massively parallel processing on multicore/manycore systems and clusters automated parallelization and compilation techniques debugging and performance autotuning tools and techniques for multicore/manycore applications parallel algorithms, applications and benchmarks on multicore/manycore systems runtime power/energy management on multicore/manycore systems and clusters fault tolerance and resilience Important Dates Paper submission deadline : November 3, 2014 Notification of acceptance : December 15, 2014 Camera-ready papers due : January 1, 2015 Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited. All paper submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair. http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pmam2015 Papers must not exceed 10 pages in standard ACM two-column conference format (preprint mode, with page number and the 9pt template).
