======================================================================== Call For Papers Seventh International Workshop on Communication Architectures for HPC, Big Data, Deep Learning and Clouds at Extreme Scale (ExaComm 2022) to be held in conjunction with International Supercomputing Conference 2022 Thursday June 2, 2022 http://nowlab.cse.ohio-state.edu/exacomm/ ======================================================================== Extreme Scale computing in HPC, Big Data, Deep Learning and Clouds are marked by multiple-levels of hierarchy and heterogeneity ranging from the compute units (many-core CPUs, GPUs, APUs etc) to storage devices (NVMe, NVMe over Fabrics etc) to the network interconnects (InfiniBand, High-Speed Ethernet, Omni-Path etc). Owing to the plethora of heterogeneous communication paths with different cost models expected to be present in extreme scale systems, data movement is seen as the soul of different challenges for exascale computing. On the other hand, advances in networking technologies such as NoCs (like NVLink), RDMA enabled networks and the likes are constantly pushing the envelope of research in the field of novel communication and computing architectures for extreme scale computing. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and software/hardware designers from academia, industry and national laboratories who are involved in creating network-based computing solutions for extreme scale architectures. The objectives of this workshop will be to share the experiences of the members of this community and to learn the opportunities and challenges in the design trends for exascale communication architectures. ExaComm 2022 will be held as a full day workshop in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC 2022). Topics ------ ExaComm 2022 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including but not limited to: * Scalable communication protocols * High performance networks * Runtime/middleware designs * Impact of high performance networks on Deep Learning / Machine Learning * Impact of high performance networks on Big Data * Novel hardware/software co-design * High performance communication solutions for accelerator based computing * Power-aware techniques and designs * Performance evaluations * Quality of Service (QoS) * Resource virtualization and SR-IOV Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. Keynote Speakers ---------------- Details coming soon. Panel Information ----------------- Details coming soon. Paper Submission and Registration --------------------------------- Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference management system. We request the authors to use the LNCS style (single column format) using either the LaTeX document class or Word template. For details on the author guidelines, please refer to Springer's website (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Incorrectly formatted papers will be excluded from the reviewing process. Submission must be made as a single PDF file which includes all figures and bibliography. Submissions are accepted under the following two categories: * Full Paper: 12 pages with all figures and bibliography in the LNCS format described above * Short Paper: 8 pages with all figures and bibliography in the LNCS format described above Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. It should not be submitted in parallel to any other conference or journal. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a participant of the workshop and present the paper at the workshop. Each research paper will be taken through a comprehensive peer review process by an internationally recognized group of experts in the field. Papers will be evaluated along the metrics of: a) Quality of Presentation; b) Novelty / Originality; c) Relation to State of the Art; d) Technical Strength; e) Significance of Work; and f) Relevance to Workshop. Every effort will be made to ensure that each paper receives multiple reviews. Please contact the Workshop Organizers for any questions / clarifications. Proceedings Information ----------------------- The papers accepted to be presented in ExaComm'22 will be published in a separate, post-conference joint ISC workshop proceedings volume, published online with Springer Publishing. It serves the purpose to share your paper during the workshop day and to foster discussions. These PDFs will be deleted a week after the conference. You may adjust your paper for the camera-ready version after the workshop day and improve it based on the feedback received. The process for preparing the conference-ready and camera-ready versions of accepted papers is described below. There are two deadlines you have to consider: * Camera-ready deadline: May 14, 2022 The conference-ready paper version will be hosted during the conference and the link will be shared with workshop attendees. It serves the purpose to share your paper during the workshop day and to foster discussions. These PDFs will be deleted a week after the conference. You may adjust your paper for the camera-ready version after the workshop day and improve it based on the feedback received. The camera-ready version will be prepared for publication with Springer. Papers need to be formatted according to Springer's single column LNCS style (LaTeX or Word). https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gui... More details coming soon.
