Posters provide an excellent opportunity for short presentations and informal discussions with conference attendees. Posters will be prominently displayed for the duration of the conference, giving presenters a chance to showcase their latest results and innovations. The presented posters will be digitally archived and made publicly available after the conference. A Best Poster Award will be presented based on quality of research work and quality of poster presentation. ACM Student Research Competition (SRC): SC15 will also host the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC). This competition will feature posters from undergraduate and graduate students showcasing original student research. An SRC poster may be authored by exactly one graduate student or up to 2 undergraduate students (optionally with the advisor). Student authors must be active ACM members. The ACM SRC pre-selection will happen during the poster reception and selected poster presenters will be given the opportunity to present their work in short talks on Wednesday. The ACM SRC committee will select a set of winners based on their poster content and presentation style. ACM’s SRC program covers expenses up to $500 for all students invited to the SRC. Embedded Multimedia Content: This year, we are encouraging authors to explore the integration of remotely hosted multimedia elements accessible through embedded QR codes into the poster. The goal of the embedded multimedia elements should be to enhance the presentation of research in the poster. Such elements may include a video narration of the poster by the author, links to results, movies, graphics, datasets, codes, etc. Note that extended versions of the poster or related publications will not be considered as acceptable multimedia elements in this context. The elements will be expected to be accessible using QR readers on smart phones and tablets (such as the reader included in the SC mobile app) during the conference while the poster is displayed. While the use of multimedia is not mandatory, creative multimedia integrations will be considered while evaluating posters for the Best Poster Award. Note that the conference will not provide services or infrastructure for hosting the embedded content. SUBMISSIONS As in past years, SC15 is soliciting two different types of posters: (1) Regular Posters and (2) ACM Student Research Competition Posters. Submissions for either type of poster must include: (1) A 150 word abstract, (2) A draft of the poster, and (3) An up to 800 word extended abstract/summary (including references) in the SC15 technical paper format.

CFP: IWOMP 2015 - 11th International Workshop on OpenMP
by Terboven, Christian 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

IWOMP 2015 - 11th International Workshop on OpenMP Workshop: 01.-02.10.2015, Tutorial: 30.09.2015 Aachen, Germany http://www.iwomp.org Background ------------- For many years, OpenMP has provided a very rich and flexible programming model for shared memory architectures. OpenMP 4.0 was a major advance that added two new forms of parallelism. Not only in the form of device constructs to support heterogeneous systems like GPUs, FPGAs, DSPs, but also through SIMD constructs to support vector units. It also included several significant extensions for the worksharing and task-based forms of parallelism. The International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP) is an annual workshop dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel programming with OpenMP. It is the premier forum to present and discuss issues, trends, recent research ideas, and results related to parallel programming with OpenMP. We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers detailing innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP. Topics -------- All topics related to OpenMP are of interest, including OpenMP performance analysis and modeling, OpenMP performance and correctness tools, proposed OpenMP extensions, and OpenMP applications in any domain (e.g., scientific and numerical computation, video games, computer graphics, multimedia, information retrieval, optimization, text processing, data mining, finance, signal and image processing and machine learning). Advances in technologies, such as multi-core processors and OpenMP devices (accelerators such as GPGPUs, DSPs or FPGAs), Multiprocessor Systems on a Chip (MPSoCs), and recent developments in OpenMP itself (e.g., tasking) present new opportunities and challenges for software and hardware developers. Recent advances in the C, C++ and Fortran base languages also offer interesting oppportunities and challenges to the OpenMP programming model. IWOMP 2015 particularly solicits submissions in these areas as well as ones that discuss how to apply OpenMP to additional models of parallelism such as event loops. Paper Submission and Registration ---------------------------------------- Submitted papers for review should be limited to 12 pages and follow LNCS guidelines. Submission deadline is May 3rd, 2015 . Once the submission is open, submit your paper to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwomp2015. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare a final paper of up to 15 pages. As in previous years, IWOMP 2015 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in Springer Verlag's LNCS series. Important Dates ------------------ Paper submission deadline: May 3, 2015 Notification of acceptance: June 8, 2015 Deadline for final version: July 13, 2015 Tutorial in Aachen, Germany: September 30, 2015 Workshop in Aachen, Germany: October 1-2, 2015 Program Committee Co-Chairs: ----------------------- Christian Terboven RWTH Aachen University, Germany Bronis R. de Supinski LLNL, USA Program Committee ----------------------- Eduard Ayguade Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC-Barcelona TECH), Spain Mark Bull EPCC, University of Edinburgh, UK Jacqueline Chame ISI, USC, USA Nawal Copty Oracle Corporation, USA Luiz DeRose Cray Inc., USA Alejandro Duran Intel, Spain Nasser Giacaman The University of Auckland, New Zealand Chunhua Liao LLNL, USA Bernd Mohr Juelich Supercomputing Centre, Germany Philippe Navaux UFRGS, Brazil Stephen Olivier Sandia National Laboratories, USA Jairo Panetta ITA, Brazil Vinod Rebello UFF, Brazil Alistair Rendell Australian National University, Australia Mitsuhisa Sato University of Tsukuba, Japan Dirk Schmidl RWTH Aachen University, Germany Tom Scogland LLNL, USA Eric Stotzer Texas Instruments, USA Seetharami Seelam IBM Research, USA Priya Unnikrishnan IBM Toronto Laboratory, Canada Ruud van der Pas Oracle Corporation, USA

Call for contributions to ACM TACO 2.0
by Koen De Bosschere 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Do you know ACM TACO 2.0? Over the last two years ACM TACO (ACM Transactions on Architecture and Code Optimization, <http://taco.acm.org/> http://taco.acm.org/) has dramatically optimized its internal processes. Today, the average turnaround time from submission to first response is 43 days which is 1.5 months. Most accepted manuscripts went through two rounds of reviews to reach a final decision only 5 months after submission. Accepted manuscripts are immediately published in the ACM digital library. Hence, excellent manuscripts can make it from submission to the digital library in about 3 months; papers needing a major revision will make it to the digital library in about 6 months. The ACM TACO acceptance rate after two review rounds is 27%. We call this ACM TACO 2.0. Attached at the end of this mail are the titles of the papers printed since January 2015 in ACM TACO. ACM TACO 2.0 has a review cycle and an acceptance rate which is competitive with the best ACM conferences, but without the inconvenient non-negotiable submission deadlines, and with the advantage of being able to revise a paper based on the detailed review reports by carefully selected reviewers, and of being published as soon as it is accepted. On top of that, authors of original work papers get an open invitation to present their paper at the yearly HiPEAC conference, which is the premier European network event on topics central to ACM TACO, attended by more than 631 scientists in 2015. We already have 10 accepted papers for the January 2016 conference in Prague (https://www.hipeac.org/2016/prague) For the 2014 ACM TACO 2.0 issues, we are calling for high-quality manuscripts on topics included, but not limited to: · Computer system architectures and processor architectures, including multiprocessors and multithreaded computers · Interaction of operating systems, compilers, programming languages, and architecture · Feedback-Directed Software/Hardware Optimization · Dynamic compilation, adaptive execution, and continuous profiling/optimization. · Virtual machine, binary translation hardware, and software optimizations · Compiler optimizations that exploit instruction level parallelism, such as software pipelining, global scheduling, register allocation, and memory disambiguation · Advanced software and hardware speculation, prediction, and predication techniques. · High-performance microarchitecture innovation (e.g., VLIW, superscalar, multithreaded, etc.) · Architectures and compilers for embedded processors, application specific processors and DSPs, including network and router architectures · Memory system optimization · Parallel processing · Architecture or compiler-based power and energy optimization · Application characterization and architectural implications · Performance evaluation and measurement of real systems · Papers of interest to the SIGMICRO, SIGARCH, and SIGPLAN community There is no deadline but manuscripts are processed on a first-come-first-served basis. Submit your best work via <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taco> http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taco as soon as it is ready to go. We will work hard to get back to you in less than 2 months with your reviews.

The recent research progress of various NVMs, e.g., NAND flash, PCM, STT-RAM, RRAM, FeRAM, etc., have drawn tremendous attentions from both academy and industry. Besides developing robust and scalable devices, the unique characteristics of these NVM technologies, such as read-write asymmetry, stochastic programming behavior, performance-power-nonvolatility tradeoff etc., introduce plenty of opportunities and challenges for novel circuit designs, architectures, system organizations, and management strategies. There is an urgent need of technology invention, modeling, analysis, design and application of these NVMs ranging from circuit design level to system level. IEEE Non-Volatile Memory Systems and Applications Symposium (NVMSA) provides a fantastic opportunity for global nonvolatile memory researchers from different communities to discuss and exchange knowledge, ideas, and insights, and to facilitate the establishment of potential collaborations that can speed up the progress in the design and application of NVMs. An expanded technical program will be offered in NVMSA 2015 for the audience from academy and industry. The organizing committee is soliciting various topics on related to NVMs including (but not limited to): Device/Circuit design of NVMs * Emerging Non-volatile Memory Circuit Design * NVM Device Design * Error correction for NVMs * Nonvolatile Logic Circuit Design * Low-Power NVM Circuit NVM Architectures and Systems * Non-volatile Registers * Non-volatile Memory Architectures * Non-volatile Cache Design * NVM-based Neuromorphic Architectures * NVM-based Storage * NVDIMM NVM Software * Operating System Support for NVM * Compiler Optimization for NVM * NVM-based File Systems * NVM-based Storage Software * NVM-based Databases * NVM Controller Design NVM Applications * In-memory Computing * NVM for Big Data Analytics * NVM in Mobile Healthcare Applications * NVM in Wearable Applications * NVM and the Internet of Things The topics of NVMSA cover the research and development advances in both mainstream and emerging NVMs. The event is designed to foster interaction and presentation of early results, new ideas and speculative directions. Thus, NVMSA will combine the presentations of the papers accepted from the regular submissions as well as a number of invited talks from researchers in academia, technologists from industry, and case studies on the use of NVMs. Participating authors are invited to submit six-page manuscripts to the conference and all accepted papers will be published in the conference proceeding.

CFP: ERROR 2015, First Workshop on E-science ReseaRch leading tO negative Results
by Ketan Maheshwari 25 Mar '15

[Apologies if you received multiple copies of this email] Call for papers: =========================== 1st Workshop on E-science ReseaRch leading tO negative Results (ERROR) in conjunction with eScience 2015 Munich, Germany, 3 September 2015 http://press3.mcs.anl.gov/errorworkshop =========================== Researchers invest a significant amount of time and efforts in their research. Similarly, funders significantly invest to cover the costs of research. New techniques and technologies influence approaches, methods, and scale in a rapidly changing e-science landscape. Researchers must deal with novelty in multiple dimensions, some of which are beyond their control. Consequently, it is likely that some of the obtained results will not be useful : they are negative (deviating from initial hypothesis), abnormal (anomalous to results from similar studies), or otherwise unexpected. Under normal circumstances, such negative results and why they were obtained are seldom discussed, analyzed and published. Useful lessons are thus lost to the community. Yet ignoring such results and the process by which they were obtained poses a risk of repetition. The fact that other researchers likely face the same situations and the same pitfalls further increases the cost of research, a cost that would have been avoided if the negative results were brought forward and discussed in-depth within and across communities. Following is a non-exhaustive list of topics for the workshop: - Unforeseen technology/problem/technique misfits - Institutional policies (on rejected research) - Failures and obstacles faced during a successful research work - Controversial results because of undiscovered technological/technical glitch - Unconventional results which contradict theoretical expectations - Discovery of better approaches after significant efforts spent on research - Inadequate or misconfigured infrastructure - Abnormal and anomalous results - Ongoing research with setbacks and lessons learned - A hypothesis with one or more limiting assumptions - Discovery of unexpected behavior in hardware, networks or platforms - Data size that is too big or too small for the applied technique - Implementation of simulation tools based on incorrect physical observations - Defect in software design, architecture and/or user interface - Software and platform incompatibilities - Zero defect software policy and its implications Keynote Speaker ------------------------- Ioan Raicu, IIT, Chicago Journal Publication Opportunity ------------------------------------------- Selected papers from the workshop will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue of *"Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience* *(CCPE)"* journal. Papers will be selected based on scientific rigor, originality, significance and presentation. All extended versions will undergo reviews and must represent original unpublished research work. General Chair and Contact ------------------------------------- Ketan Maheshwari, Argonne National Laboratory, ketan(a)anl.gov Steering Committee --------------------------- Daniel S. Katz, University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory Silvia Olabarriaga, University of Amsterdam Justin M. Wozniak, University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory Douglas Thain, Notre Dame University Paper Submission Guidelines ---------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit a maximum of 8-page manuscripts describing original and unpublished work surrounding the aforementioned topics.
