Deadline extension: MICRO-54 Student Research Competition
by Osman Unsal 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

********************** Deadline extension to July 29th 11:59PM PST ********************** The 54th International Symposium on MicroarchitectureR invites participation in the ACM Student Research Competition (SRC). Sponsored by Microsoft, the SRC is a forum for undergraduates and graduate students to share their research results, exchange ideas and improve their communication skills while competing for prizes. Students accepted to participate in the SRC are entitled to a travel grant (up to $500) to help cover travel expenses. The top 3 undergraduate and graduate winners will receive the following prizes: 1. Monetary prizes of $500, $300 and $200, respectively. 2. A framed grand finalist certificate. 3. The names of the winners will be posted on the website. In addition, the first-place winner in each category (undergraduate, graduate) will receive an invitation to participate in the SRC Grand Finals, an online round of competitions among the first-place winners of individual conference-hosted SRCs. Three undergraduates and three graduates will be chosen among them as the SRC Grand Finals winners. They are invited, along with their advisors, to the annual ACM Awards Banquet, where they receive formal recognition. The SRC consists of two rounds: a poster session and a presentation session. Submissions recommended for acceptance by the selection committee will be invited to a first-round poster session to be held during MICRO. A panel of judges will select a number of finalists from the poster session held at the symposium, who will be invited to a second-round SRC presentation session at MICRO and compete for the prizes. The evaluation will be concentrated on the quality of both visual and oral presentation, the research methods and the significance of contribution. You can find more information on the <https://src.acm.org/> ACM Student Research Competition website. _____ Eligibility A participant and submission in the SRC must meet all the following conditions: . The participant must submit an abstract PDF (optionally, blind) of up to 800 words outlining the content of a poster that is going to be presented during the competition. . The submission entry must include the poster title, author names, affiliation and the name of the academic advisor. The abstract may be authored by more than one student. However, only the lead student (first author) is considered as a participant in the SRC competition and must satisfy the eligibility criteria described here. Undergraduate students may present team projects. If a graduate student is part of a group research project, they may only present their part of the research. . The submission entry should describe the research problem, motivation and background, techniques and results, and the prospect for clearly and concisely conveying the work in a poster format. . It should state the novelty and contributions of the work explicitly. . The abstract must have not appeared before. Novelty is one of the criteria for selection. . The abstract and the poster must be authored by the participant. . The participant can be from anywhere in the world but must be an ACM student member and must maintain an undergraduate or graduate student status as of the submission deadline. . You may join ACM prior to entering. <https://www.acm.org/membership/> Basic student membership is $19 per year or less. . SRC allows parallel submissions of full papers in other conferences, as long as they abide by self-plagiarism rules (e.g., at least 30% of both the SRC abstract and the other publication is unique). That is, any paper needs to be a minimum of 30% different than a prior paper. Thus a full-length version of a paper would have to be at least 30% different than a SRC submission. Again, self-plagiarism rules would still be in effect. For each accepted SRC poster, the abstract will be posted on the MICRO website. The content, however, can be included in a future submission to other conferences or journals. * _____ Submission Information Extended abstracts of up to 800 words should be submitted through <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=microsrc2021> EasyChair at <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=microsrc2021> https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=microsrc2021 no later than July 29, 2021 at 11:59 PM PDT. In your submission, please indicate whether you are an undergraduate or a graduate student.

ScalA@SC: 12th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems - Papers due August 27
by Engelmann, Christian 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ScalA21: 12th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems held in conjunction with the SC21: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC) November 19, 2021, St. Louis, MO, USA <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2021> Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points. With the advent of Big Data and AI in the past few years the need of such scalable mathematical methods and algorithms able to handle data and compute intensive applications at scale becomes even more important. Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems. Submission Guidelines --------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers at a length of at least 6 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages and not exceeding 8 pages, including figures, tables, and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. Reference style files are available at <http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html>. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Papers should be submitted electronically at <https://submissions.supercomputing.org>. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Accepted papers will be published with the IEEE Computer Society as part of the SC21 workshop proceedings in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and present the paper at the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair, Christian Engelmann at engelmannc(a)ornl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>, for more information. Transparency and Reproducibility Initiative ------------------------------------------- As part of a major initiative that aims to increase the level of reproducibility and replicability of results, ScalA20 invites authors of technical papers to submit optional appendix information that can promote better reproducibility of computational results. Authors are highly encouraged to provide a 2-page Artifact Description Appendix, which will not count toward the page limit of the submission. Notes: - A paper cannot be disqualified based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available. - The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking a paper. In particular, if two papers are of similar quality, the existence and quality of the appendices can be part of the evaluation process. - Appendices should not be used to circumvent the page limit. Further information about the SC Transparency and Reproducibility Initiative can be found at <https://sc21.supercomputing.org/submit/transparency-reproducibility-initiat…>.

23 Jul '21

================================================================================ PMBS 2021 :: Call for Papers 12th International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Benchmarking and Simulation of High Performance Computer Systems held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM SC21, St. Louis, MO, November 2021 http://www.pmbsworkshop.org ================================================================================ The PMBS21 workshop is concerned with the comparison of high-performance computer 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. We encourage submissions in the following areas: * Performance modeling, analysis, and prediction of applications and HPC 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 visualization * Real-world case studies * Studies of heterogeneous architectures and many-core accelerators 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 10pt fonts 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). === SC Transparency and Reproducibility Initiative === In line with the main Supercomputing conference, authors are asked to provide an artifact description and an artifact evaluation appendix 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 === August 25th 2021 (23:59 AoE) - Full Paper Submissions September 29th 2021 - Full Paper Notifications September 22nd 2021 (23:59 AoE) - Late Breaking and Short Paper Submissions October 6th 2021 - Late Breaking and Short Paper Notifications October 13th 2021 - Camera Ready Papers Due November 2021 - PMBS21 Workshop === More Information === For more information consult the PMBS Workshop homepage at: http://www.pmbsworkshop.org -- Dr. Steven Wright Lecturer, Department of Computer Science University of York, UK Tel: +44 (0)1904 325 583 Email disclaimer
