The Eighth International Workshop on Accelerators and Hybrid Exascale Systems (AsHES) http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/ashes/2018 May 21th, 2018 To be held in conjunction with 32st IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Workshop Scope and Goals ======================================== Current and emerging systems are deployed with heterogeneous architectures and accelerators of more than one type (e.g., GPGPU, Intel® Xeon Phi™, FPGA) along with hybrid processors of both lightweight and heavyweight cores (e.g., APU, big.LITTLE). Such architectures also comprise hybrid memory systems equipped with stacked/hierarchical memory and non-volatile memory in addition to regular DRAM. Programming such a system can be a real challenge along with locality, scheduling, load balancing, concurrency and so on. This workshop focuses on understanding the implications of accelerators and heterogeneous designs on the hardware systems, porting applications, performing compiler optimizations, and developing programming environments for current and emerging systems. It seeks to ground accelerator research through studies of application kernels or whole applications on such systems, as well as tools and libraries that improve the performance and productivity of applications on these systems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are involved in application studies for accelerators and other heterogeneous systems, to learn the opportunities and challenges in future design trends for HPC applications and systems. Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited to): * Strategies for programming heterogeneous systems using high-level models such as OpenMP, OpenACC, low-level models such as OpenCL, CUDA; * Methods and tools to tackle challenges in scientific computing at extreme scale; * Strategies for application behavior characterization and performance optimization for accelerators; * Techniques for optimizing kernels for execution on GPGPU, Intel® Xeon Phi™, and future heterogeneous platforms; * Models of application performance on heterogeneous and accelerated HPC systems; * Compiler Optimizations and tuning heterogeneous systems including parallelization, loop transformation, locality optimizations, Vectorization; * Implications of workload characterization in heterogeneous and accelerated architecture design; * Benchmarking and performance evaluation for accelerators; * Tools and techniques to address both performance and correctness to assist application development for accelerators and heterogeneous processors; * System software techniques to abstract application domain-specific functionalities for accelerators; Important Dates (AoE) ======================================== Paper Submission: Feb. 9, 2018 Paper Notification: Feb. 23, 2018 Camera-Ready: March. 12, 2018 Proceedings ======================================== The proceedings of this workshop will be published electronically together with IPDPS proceedings via the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

PDSEC/IPDPS-18 workshop: extended deadline Feb 09
by Peter Strazdins 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

(apologies for cross-postings) The 19th IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-18) http://cse.stfx.ca/~pdsec18 will be held on May 25, 2018 in Vancouver in conjunction with IPDPS 2018. Deadline: PDSEC-18 extended deadline: 09 Feb 2018 (AoE) Scope and Interests: The technological trends of HPC system evolution indicates increasing burden for application developers in management of the unprecedented levels of complexity in hardware and the associated performance characteristics. Many existing application codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. It will be important to utilize, in unison, many characteristics such as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The HPC community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these challenges in order to accommodate productive code development and effective system use. However, the application community still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluations. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences of scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability.

Workshop proposals will be peer-reviewed academically with a focus on submissions that will inspire deep and interactive dialogue in topics of interest to the HPC community. New for SC18 Workshop Submissions: Reproducibility Initiative We believe that reproducible science is essential, and that SC should be a leader in this effort. Reproducibility has already been well adopted within the SC Papers program, with about 40% of submissions and 50% of accepted papers containing a reproducibility appendix. This year, reproducibility will be considered during the evaluation of workshop submissions. More information can be found at the SC Workshops page (https://sc18.supercomputing.org/submit/workshops-submissions/) and in the SC Workshop FAQs (https://sc18.supercomputing.org/submit/workshops-submissions/workshops-faq/) * Proposals must be submitted at: https://submissions.supercomputing.org/ * More information on SC Workshops can be found at: https://sc18.supercomputing.org/submit/workshops-submissions/.
