======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================================================= International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers *** ROSS 2015 *** In cooperation with ACM SIGHPC -------------------------------- Held in conjunction with HPDC 2015, Portland, Oregon, USA, June 16, 2015 ======================================================================= http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/ross/2015/ ======================================================================= The complexity of node architectures in supercomputers increases as we cross petaflop milestones on the way towards Exascale. Increasing levels of parallelism in multi- and many-core chips and emerging heterogeneity of computational resources coupled with energy and memory constraints force a reevaluation of our approaches towards operating systems and runtime environments. The ROSS workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting at the HPDC 2015 conference in Portland, Oregon, USA, focuses on principles and techniques to design, implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems for supercomputers and massively parallel machines. The keynote will be delivered by Kimberly Keeton from HP Labs, USA. TOPICS OF INTEREST: ------------------- - OS and runtime system scalability on many-node and multi/many-core systems - specialized OSs for Supercomputing - distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSs and runtime systems for Supercomputing - fault tolerance - system noise analysis and prevention - interaction between middleware, runtime system, and the OS - modeling and performance analysis of runtime systems - OS and runtime considerations for large-volume, high-performance I/O - parallel job startup - memory management and emerging memory technologies - the role of OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage - real-time considerations for Supercomputing SCHEDULE AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: ---------------------------------- Submission deadline: March 20, 2015 (extended) Author notification: April 27, 2015 Final papers due: May 15, 2015 Workshop date: June 16, 2015 The ROSS workshop proceedings will be published electronically along with the ICS conference proceedings via the ACM Digital Library. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM SIG proceedings alternate format. Extensive documentation can be found at the ACM site (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). The maximum length is 8 pages. All papers must be in English. Please visit the workshop website for further instructions and the submission link. The best papers of the workshop may be considered for inclusion in a special issue of International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications (IJHPCA). See the workshop website for more information.
