[Deadline Extended] Call for Papers - WoSC 2019 Fifth International Workshop on Serverless Computing
by Vatche Ishakian 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fifth International Workshop on Serverless Computing (WoSC) 2019 December 9-13 at UC Davis, CA https://www.serverlesscomputing.org/wosc5/ Over the last four to five years, Serverless Computing (Serverless) has gained an enthusiastic following in industry as a compelling paradigm for the deployment of cloud applications, and is enabled by the recent shift of enterprise application architectures to containers and micro-services. Many of the major cloud vendors, have released serverless platforms, including Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, Microsoft Azure Functions, IBM Cloud Functions. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss their experiences and thoughts on future directions of serverless research. Serverless architectures offer different tradeoffs in terms of control, cost, and flexibility compared to distributed applications built on an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) substrate. For example, a serverless architecture requires developers to more carefully consider the resources used by their code (time to execute, memory used, etc.) when modularizing their applications. This is in contrast to concerns around latency, scalability, and elasticity, which is where significant development effort has traditionally been spent when building cloud services. In addition, tools and techniques to monitor and debug applications aren't applicable in serverless architectures, and new approaches are needed. As well, test and development pipelines may need to be adapted. Another decision that developers face are the appropriateness of the serverless ecosystem to their application requirements. A rich ecosystem of services built into the platform is typically easier to compose and would offer better performance. However, composing external services may be unavoidable, and in such cases, many of the benefits of serverless disappear, including performance and availability guarantees. This presents an important research challenge, and it is not clear how existing results and best practices, such as workflow composition research, can be applied to composition in a serverless environment. Authors are invited to submit research papers, experience papers, demonstrations, or position papers. The latest version of this CFP is available at http://serverlesscomputing.org/wosc5/ Topics This workshop solicits papers from both academia and industry on the state of practice and state of the art in serverless computing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Infrastructure and network optimizations for serverless applications Debugging serverless applications Programming models Use cases, experiences Benchmarks Cost models, pricing models, and economics of serverless DevOps Other topics related to serverless computing Important Dates Paper Submission: September 15, 2019 Notification of Acceptance: October 11, 2019 Final Camera-Ready Manuscript (Hard Deadline): October 18, 2019 Author registration deadline: TBD Conference: December 9-13, 2019 Papers and Submissions Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research/application papers that are not being considered in another forum.

[Deadline Extended] Call for Papers - DIDL 2019 : Third Workshop on Distributed Infrastructures for Deep Learning
by Vatche Ishakian 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Workshop on Distributed Infrastructures for Deep Learning (DIDL) 2019 December 9-13 at UC Davis, CA https://didl-conf.github.io/ Deep learning is a rapidly growing field of machine learning, and has proven successful in many domains, including computer vision, language translation, and speech recognition. The training of deep neural networks is resource intensive, requiring compute accelerators such as GPUs, as well as large amounts of storage and memory, and network bandwidth. Additionally, getting the training data ready requires a lot of tooling for data cleansing, data merging, ambiguity resolution, etc. Sophisticated middleware abstractions are needed to schedule resources, manage the distributed training job as well as visualize how well the training is progressing. Likewise, serving the large neural network models with low latency constraints can require middleware to manage model caching, selection, and refinement. All the major cloud providers, including Amazon, Google, IBM, and Microsoft have started to offer cloud services in the last year or so with services to train and/or serve deep neural network models. In addition, there is a lot of activity in open source middleware for deep learning, including Tensorflow, Theano, Caffe2, PyTorch, and MXNet. There are also efforts to extend existing platforms such as Spark for deep learning workloads. This workshop focuses on the tools, frameworks, and algorithms to support executing deep learning algorithms in a distributed environment. As new hardware and accelerators become available, the middleware and systems need to be able exploit their capabilities and ensure they are utilized efficiently. Authors are invited to submit research papers, experience papers, demonstrations, or position papers Topics This workshop solicits papers from both academia and industry on the state of practice and state of the art in deep learning infrastructures. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Resource scheduling algorithms for deep learning workloads Advances in deep learning frameworks Programming abstractions for deep learning models Middleware support for hardware accelerators Novel distribution techniques for training large neural networks Case studies of deep learning middleware Optimization techniques for Inferencing Novel debugging and logging techniques Data cleansing, data disambiguation tools for deep learning Data visualization tools for deep learning Dates and location Paper submissions: September 15, 2019 Notification to authors: October 11, 2019 Camera-ready copy due: October 18, 2019 The DIDL workshop is co-located with the Middleware conference, which will be held in UC Davis, CA from December 9-13th 2019. Papers and Submissions We are looking for the following types of submissions: Research and industry papers (up to 6 pages): Reports on original results including novel techniques, significant case studies or surveys. Authors may include extra material beyond the six pages as a clearly marked appendix, which reviewers are not obliged to read but could read. Position papers (up to 4 pages): Reports identifying unaddressed problems and research challenges. Abstracts (up to 1 page): An extended abstract on a preliminary or ongoing work. Papers must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. All papers should follow ACM formatting instructions, specifically the ACM SIG Proceedings Standard Style. The author kit containing the templates for the required style can be found at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. Submissions should not be blinded for review. Please submit your papers via the submission site: https://didl19.hotcrp.com/ All accepted papers will appear in the Middleware 2019 companion proceedings, available in the ACM Digital Library.

CFP- Programming using Directives (WACCPD 2019) (in conjunction with SC19) November 18, 2019-Extended deadline to 6th September, 2019 (AOE)
by neelima reddy 30 Aug '19

======================================================================== Sixth Workshop on Accelerator Programming using Directives (WACCPD 2019) (in conjunction with SC19) November 18, 2019 - https://waccpd.org ======================================================================== Call for Papers (Paper submission deadline extended to 6th September, 2019 AOE (Firm Deadline) ---------------- The ever-increasing heterogeneity in supercomputing applications has given rise to complex compute node architectures offering multiple, heterogeneous levels of massive parallelism. As a result, the 'X' in MPI+X demands more focus. Exploiting the maximum available parallelism out of such systems necessitates sophisticated programming approaches that can provide scalable as well as portable solutions without compromising on performance. A programmer's expectation from the scientific community is to deliver solutions that would allow maintenance of a single code base whenever possible avoiding duplicate effort. Raising the abstraction of the code is one of the effective methodologies to reduce the burden on the programmer while improving productivity. Software abstraction-based programming models, such as OpenMP and OpenACC, have been serving this purpose over the past several years as the compiler technology steadily improves. These programming models address the 'X' component by providing programmers with high-level directive-based approaches to accelerate and port scientific applications to heterogeneous platforms. Recent architectural trends indicate a heavy reliance of future Exascale machines on accelerators for performance. Toward this end, the workshop will highlight the improvements over state-of-art through the accepted papers and prompt discussion through keynote/panel that draws the community's attention to key areas that will facilitate the transition to accelerator-based high- performance computing (HPC). The workshop aims to showcase all aspects of heterogeneous systems discussing innovative high-level language features, lessons learned while using directives to migrate scientific legacy code to parallel processors, compilation and runtime scheduling techniques among others. WACCPD2019 will be co-located with SC19, Denver. In the past five years of this workshop, WACCPD has been one of the major forums at SC to bring together programming model users, developers, and tools community to share knowledge and experiences to tackle emerging complex parallel computing systems. Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited to) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Programming experiences porting applications in any scientific domain * Compiler and runtime support for current and emerging architectures (e.g. heterogeneous architectures, low-power processors) * Experiences in implementing compilers for accelerator directives on newer architectures * Language-based extensions and its prototype for directive-based programming models * Abstract handling of complex/heterogeneous memory hierarchies * Extensions to and shortcomings of current directives for heterogeneous systems * Comparisons against lower or higher-level abstractions * Application performance evaluation, validation, and lessons learned * Modeling, verification and performance analysis tools * Auto-tuning and optimization strategies * Parallel computing using hybrid programming paradigms (e.g. MPI, OpenMP, OpenACC, OpenSHMEM) * Asynchronous execution and scheduling (task-based approaches) * Scientific libraries interoperability with directive-based models * Power/energy studies and solutions targeting accelerators or heterogeneous systems Workshop Important Deadlines ----------------------------- Submission Deadline: August 22, 2019, extended to 30th August, 2019, extended to 6th September, 2019 AOE (Firm Deadline) Author notification: September 30, 2019 Workshop Ready Deadline: October 10, 2019 AOE Camera Ready papers due: December 10, 2019 AoE Submission Process & Proceedings --------------------------------- WACCPD papers will be peer-reviewed and selected for presentation at the workshop.

***SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED*** CANOPIE-HPC @ SC19 1st Workshop on Containers and New Orchestration Paradigms for Isolated Environments in HPC Held in conjunction with SC19: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis, Nov 17th-22nd, 2019. ==================================================================== Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published by the IEEE TCHPC. Website: http://canopie-hpc.org Important Dates: Submission Deadline: **EXTENDED** September 9th, 2019 Acceptance Notice: October 3rd, 2019 Final papers due: October 15th, 2019 Workshop Date: November 18th, 2019 Call for papers: We are pleased to introduce the 1st International Workshop on Containers and New Orchestration Paradigms for Isolated Environments in HPC (CANOPIE HPC), to be hosted at SC19: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis. The objective of this workshop is to serve as the principal venue for leaders in the field to stimulate research and interactions in relation to cutting-edge container technologies, virtualization, and OS system software as it relates to supporting High Performance Computing (HPC). The first iteration of this workshop will give special attention to work which can provide real-world experiences to containerization in HPC, as well as promote the use of containers and engage in a collaborative manner with the larger HPC community. Container computing has revolutionized the way groups are developing, sharing, and running software and services. This has initially been led by growth with Docker, which has provided an ecosystem of tools to enable container based computing. This paradigm shift has since made in-roads in the HPC community enabled by container runtimes like Singularity, Shifter, and Charliecloud, which allow end-users to run containers in environments where standard Docker tools would not be feasible. Orchestration systems such as Kubernetes allow for quick, scalable service deployments in conjunction with HPC. While this adoption is growing, the larger HPC community still has many questions around this new model. There still exist several research questions related to containerization in HPC that the community must address. Topics of Interest (but are not limited to): - HPC Container Runtimes - Utilizing Containers to improve Portability and Reproducibility - Experience using containers for HPC high-performance computing applications including data analytics, machine learning, modeling and simulation. - Virtualization in supercomputing environments & HPC clusters - Container runtime designs for Exascale - HPC in the cloud - Accelerator and GPU virtualization - Container security and trust models including container distribution - In-situ HPC & Analysis coupling experiments - Workflow ensemble coupling with containers - Performance and scaling studies with containers and/or VMs - Container services orchestration and microservices with HPC - On-node resource partitioning with OS mechanisms - Combined container and OS/VM designs - DevOps models with containers and image registries Submission Guidelines: Regular research paper – Regular paper submissions target original, high-quality submissions in containers, operating systems research, virtualization, and their relation to HPC. Regular paper submissions are limited to 10 pages (including figures, tables, and references). Short research paper – These submissions target work-in-progress research and position papers on potentially controversial or emerging and hot topics in the area of containers, virtualization, and OS research. These submissions could include work from industry, state of the practice, and other relevant work. Short paper submissions are limited to 4 pages (including figures, tables, and references). Submissions of both types should be made online via Linklings: https://submissions.supercomputing.org/?page=Submit&id=SC19WorkshopCANOPIEH… Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted papers will be published through the IEEE Technical Concortium on High Performance Computing – TCHPC.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers - PMBS 2019 10th International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Benchmarking and Simulation of High Performance Computer Systems http://www.pmbsworkshop.org held as part of IEEE/ACM SC19, Denver, CO, November 2019 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deadline Approaching: Paper submission deadline: 2nd September, 2019 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PMBS19 workshop is concerned with the comparison of high-performance computing systems through performance modeling, benchmarking or through the use of tools such as simulators. We are particularly interested in research which reports the ability to measure and make trade-offs in software/hardware co-design to improve sustained application performance. We are also keen to capture the assessment of future systems, for example through work that ensures continued application scalability through peta- and exa-scale systems. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, from industry and academia, concerned with the qualitative and quantitative evaluation and modeling of high-performance computing systems. Authors are invited to submit novel research in all areas of performance modeling, benchmarking and simulation, and we welcome research that brings together current theory and practice. We recognize that the coverage of the term 'performance' has broadened to include power consumption and reliability, and that performance modeling is practiced through analytical methods and approaches based on software tools and simulators. === Topics of Interest === We encourage submissions in the following areas: - Performance modeling, analysis, and prediction of applications and high-performance computing systems - Novel techniques and tools for performance evaluation and prediction - Advanced simulation techniques and tools - Micro-benchmarking, application benchmarking and tracing - Performance-driven code optimization and scalability analysis - Verification and validation of performance models - Benchmarking and performance analysis of novel hardware - Performance concerns in software/hardware co-design - Tuning and auto-tuning of HPC applications and algorithms - Benchmark suites - Performance visualisation - Real-world case studies - Studies of novel hardware Work which examines similar topics will also be considered. === Submission Guidelines === Authors are invited to submit full papers with unpublished, original work. Submissions are limited to 10 pages using 10ptfonts in the IEEE format. The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and your appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit. Reproducibility initiative dependencies (Artifact Description or Computational Results Analysis) are also not included in the 10-page limit. A separate Late-Breaking Research and Preliminary Techniques stream is also available for authors to submit 5-page papers describing initial research or early first-of-a-kind results (this page limit does not include references but includes all technical content and figures). All accepted full-length papers (subject to post-review revisions) will be published in the IEEE TCHPC Proceedings. Authors of selected papers will also be invited to submit revised manuscripts for inclusion in a special issue journal publication (pending). === SC Reproducibility Initiative === Authors are asked to provide an artifact description appendix (up to two pages) along with their paper, describing the details of their software environments and computational experiments to the extent that an independent person could replicate their results. === Important Dates === EXTENDED: September 2nd 2019 (23:59 AoE) - Full Paper Submissions September 30th 2019 - Full Paper Notifications September 23rd 2019 (23:59 AoE) - Short Paper Submissions October 4th 2019 - Short Paper Notifications October 4th 2019 - Camera Ready Papers Due November 18th 2019 - PMBS19 Workshop === More Information === For more information consult the PMBS Workshop homepage at: http://www.pmbsworkshop.org
