********************************************************************** The 1st IEEE Workshop on Scalable Networks for Advanced Computing Systems (SNACS 2018) https://sites.google.com/site/snacsworkshop/home held in conjunction with the 33rd IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS'2019) May 20-24, 2019 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil http://www.ipdps.org ********************************************************************** We have extended the deadline to March 1st for short (late-breaking) papers. These papers are not to exceed 6 pages including references. Scope: The Workshop on Scalable Networks for Advanced Computing Systems is a venue for discussions in the networks community that encompasses the full networks stack, ranging from high-level tools and interfaces, down to low-level hardware. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers to present research on the next-generation of large scale interconnects for scientific applications. In particular, our aim is to provide a venue for discussion of the full network stack from user level interfaces (i.e. MPI, PGAS) to the hardware level (i.e. network offload, hardware support for active messages, routing protocols). Workshop topics include: networks for exascale systems, networks for multi-facility workflows, new communication models and architectures for large scale systems, and network interface and hardware co-design.Topics: ======= Topics of interest (but are not limited to): * Networks for exascale systems * Network software implementation and user interfaces * Networks for multi-facility workflows * New communication models and architectures for large scale systems * Network interface and hardware co-design ======= Paper submission and publication: Late-breaking (short) paper submissions are limited to 6 pages (including figures, tables and references) Research paper submissions are limited to 10 (including figures, tables and references) Both formats require 10-point on 8.5x11-inch pages (US Letter) in the IEEE conference style. Templates can be found at: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html Papers should be submitted electronically at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=snacs2019 Papers will be published in the IPDPS Workshop proceedings ======= Important dates: Paper Submissions close: February 15th Paper Notification: March 8th Final camera ready version: TBA ==================================== General Chairs: Matthew G.
