21 Feb '22

4th Accelerator Architecture in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics workshop (AACBB-2022) June 12th 2022 In conjunction with 49th IEEE International Symposium on Computer Architecture New York City, New York, USA Workshop website https://aacbb-workshop.github.io/ Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aacbb2022 Submission deadline April 15, 2022, EoD AoE Notifications April 30, 2022 Over the last decade, the advent of high-throughput sequencing techniques brought an exponential growth in sequenced data. At the same time, the single-thread performance continued to improve by only a few percent point annually. The growing gap between the performance demand to performance supply became a significant challenge in the path to scientific discovery. The computational bottleneck of genome analysis pipelines became even more apparent during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, where fast and reliable virus detection and classification tools have been critical for the worldwide genomic surveillance system. The gap between the performance of a conventional computer architecture and the biological data processing requirements is growing. For example, assembling a human genome from 3rd generation sequenced data may require hundreds of CPU hours. Hence, computational biology and bioinformatics will have to rely on hardware accelerators to allow processing to keep up with the exploding amount of sequenced data. In a typical application, the dominant portion of the runtime is spent in a small number of computational kernels, making it an excellent target for hardware acceleration. The combination of increasingly large datasets and high performance computing requirements make computational biology a prime candidate to benefit from accelerator architecture research. Potential directions include 3D integration, near-data processing, in-data processing and reconfigurable architectures. This workshop will focus on architecture and design of hardware accelerators for computational biology and bioinformatics problems. We plan to present and discuss a variety of acceleration techniques, accelerator architectures and their implications on the development of computational biology. This year, we plan to extend the industry angle, by providing a keynote and invited talks from leading industry research specialists. List of Topics This workshop focuses on architecture and design of hardware and software accelerators for computational biology and bioinformatics problems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Hardware and software algorithms/applications in the fields of computational biology, such as (but not limited to): - Bioinformatics - Genomics - Proteomics - Protein structure prediction - Covid-19 pandemic - Bioinformatics and computational biology accelerator architecture and design based on (but not limited to): - 3D memory-logic stack - Near-data (in-memory) processing - In-data processing - FPGAs - Reconfigurable architectures - Emerging memory technologies and their impact on bioinformatics and computational biology - Impact of bioinformatics and biology applications on computer architecture research - Bioinformatics and computational biology-inspired hardware/software trade-offs Keynote Speakers - Tajana Rosing, Prof of Computer Science and Engineering, director of System Energy Efficiency Lab, UCSD - Onur Mutlu, Prof of Computer Science, Zurich ETH and CMU Committees Program Committee - Ananth Kalyanaraman, WSU - Can Alkan, Bilkent University - Engin Ipek, University of Rochester - Jason Cong, UCLA - Mattan Erez, UT Austin - Mircea Stan, UVA - Onur Mutlu, ETH/CMU - Ran Ginosar, Technion - Ronnie Ronen, Technion - Yuan Xie, UCSB Organizing committee - Leonid Yavits* (leonid.yavits(a)gmail.com) - Yatish Turakhia^ (yturakhia(a)eng.ucsd.edu) * Department of Engineering, Bar Ilan University ^ Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California, San Diego Important Notes Presenting a paper in the workshop does not preclude publication in other venues Contact All questions about submissions should be emailed to Leonid Yavits (leonid.yavits(a)gmail.com)

[CFP] 2nd Workshop on High Performance Serverless Computing (in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2022)
by Zhuozhao Li 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

We sincerely apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. *********************************************************************** * 2nd Workshop on High Performance Serverless Computing (HiPS2022) * June 30, 2022 * In conjunction with ACM HPDC 2022 * https://highperformanceserverless.github.io/ *********************************************************************** 2nd Workshop on High Performance Serverless Computing ================================================ Serverless computing represents the next significant leap forward with respect to abstracting commoditized computing resources. The main principle of serverless computing is that compute providers deploy and manage the entire compute environment---from hardware through to runtime in which an application executes; users, therefore, think entirely at the level of their application without regard for the underlying computing environment. For example, the function as a service (FaaS) model allows users to first register a programming function (e.g., in Python) and then they may invoke that function many times with different input arguments. Serverless computing is poised to become not only the face of cloud computing in the commercial world but also a model for remote and distributed computing more broadly. The second workshop on High Performance Serverless Computing will provide the high performance and distributed computing community with a dedicated forum for discussing foundational research in serverless computing in both industry and academia. The workshop will bring together these communities and provide a forum for innovation in both the high performance and distributed systems that underlie serverless computing platforms and also the use of serverless models for abstracting traditional high performance and distributed computing systems. Workshop URL: https://highperformanceserverless.github.io/ TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------------------- The focus of the workshop includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: Developing high performance serverless computing platforms Federation of serverless computing platforms Container management and scheduling Programming paradigms for serverless computing Data management for serverless computing Applications of serverless computing Benchmarking and performance of serverless computing On-demand and event-based computation Serverless economics and billing models Fault tolerance and reliability Data-intensive workloads and tools Productivity tools (Debugging, Profiling, Logging, etc) Stream and events processing Security in serverless Heterogeneous computing (GPU, Accelerators, exotic architectures) SCHEDULE AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE --------------------------------------------------------------- Papers due: April 8, 2022 (AOE) Notifications: May 2, 2022 Camera ready: May 9, 2022 Workshop date: June 30, 2022 Authors are invited to submit papers describing unpublished, original research.
