Call for Papers: ScalA@SC 2017 - Papers due August 28
by Engelmann, Christian 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ScalA’17: 8th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems held in conjunction with the SC17: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC November 13, 2017, Denver, CO, USA <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2017> 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. 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.

CFP: Resilience@Euro-Par 2017 - Papers due May 5
by Christian Engelmann 08 May '19

08 May '19

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10th Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience) in Clusters, Clouds, and Grids <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2017> in conjunction with the 23rd International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par), Santiago de Compostela, Spain, August 28 - September 1, 2017 <http://europar2017.usc.es> Overview: Resilience is a critical challenge as high performance computing (HPC) systems continue to increase component counts, individual component reliability decreases (such as due to shrinking process technology and near-threshold voltage (NTV) operation), and software complexity increases. Application correctness and execution efficiency, in spite of frequent faults, errors, and failures, is essential to ensure the success of the extreme-scale HPC systems, cluster computing environments, Grid computing infrastructures, and Cloud computing services. While a fault (e.g., a bug or stuck bit) is the cause of an error, its manifestation as a state change is considered an error (e.g., a bad value or incorrect execution), and the transition to an incorrect service is observed as a failure (e.g., an application abort or system crash). A failure in a computing system is typically observed through an application abort or a full/partial service or system outage. A detectable correctable error is often transparently handled by hardware, such as a single bit flip in memory that is protected with single-error correction double-error detection (SECDED) error correcting code (ECC). A detectable uncorrectable error (DUE) typically results in a failure, such as multiple bit flips in the same addressable word that escape SECDED ECC correction, but not detection, and ultimately cause an application abort. An undetectable error (UE) may result in silent data corruption (SDC), e.g., an incorrect application output. There are many other types of hardware and software faults, errors, and failures in computing systems. Resilience for HPC systems encompasses a wide spectrum of fundamental and applied research and development, including theoretical foundations, fault detection and prediction, monitoring and control, end-to-end data integrity, enabling infrastructure, and resilient solvers and algorithm-based fault tolerance. This workshop brings together experts in the community to further research and development in HPC resilience and to facilitate exchanges across the computational paradigms of extreme-scale HPC, cluster computing, Grid computing, and Cloud computing. Submission Guidelines: Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in English in PDF format. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and BETWEEN 10 AND 12 PAGES, including figures, tables and references, using Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format at <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>. Papers with less than 10 or more than 12 pages will not be accepted due to publisher guidelines. Submissions should include abstract, key words and the e-mail address of the corresponding author. Papers not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. 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 or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. The proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS as post-conference proceedings. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop for inclusion in the proceedings. Authors may contact the workshop program chairs for more information.

Workshop on High Performance Computing Systems for Bioinformatics and Life Sciences (BILIS 2017) http://hpcs2017.cisedu.info/conference/workshops---hpcs2017/workshop17-bilis July 17 – July 21, 2017 Genoa, Italy held in conjunction with International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2017) http://hpcs17.cisedu.info/ ======================================================================================== * * * CALL FOR PAPERS * * * EXTENDED Submission Deadline: April 15, 2017 Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters ======================================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submissions: --------------------------------- April 15, 2017 - Extended Acceptance Notification: --------------------------- April 28, 2017 Camera Ready Papers and Registration Due by: ------- May 11, 2017 Conference Dates: --------------------------------- July 17 – 21, 2017 ======================================================================================== SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Incorporating new advancements of Information Technology (IT) in general and High Performance Computing (HPC) in particular in the domain of Life Sciences and Biomedical Research continues to receive tremendous attention of researchers, biomedical institutions and the rest of the biomedical community. Although medical instruments have benefited a great deal from the technological advances of the couple of decades, the impact of integrating IT advancements in addressing critical problems in biomedical research remains limited and the process of penetrating IT tools in the medical profession continues to be a very challenging problem. For example, the use of electronic medical records and Hospital Information Systems in improving health care remains fragmented. Similarly, the use of advanced computational tools seamlessly in the biomedical research cycle continues to be minimal. Due to the computational intensive problems in life sciences, the marriage between the Bioinformatics domain and high performance computing is critical to the advancement of Biosciences. In addition, the problems in this domain tend to be highly parallelizable and deal with large datasets, hence using HPC is a natural fit. The Bioinformatics domain is rich in applications that require extracting useful information from very large and continuously growing sequence of databases. Most methods used for analyzing DNA/Protein sequences are known to be computationally intensive, providing motivation for the use of powerful computational systems with high throughput characteristics. Moreover, high-throughput wet lab platforms such as next generation sequencing, microarray and mass spectrometry, are producing a huge amount of experimental "omics" data. The increasing availability of omics data poses new challenges to bioinformatics applications that need to face in a semi-automatic way an overwhelming availability of raw data. Main challenges regard: 1) the efficient storage, retrieval and integration of experimental data; 2) their efficient and high-throughput preprocessing and analysis; 3) the building of reproducible "in silico" experiments; 4) the integration of analysis results with pre-existing knowledge usually stored into ontologies. As the storage, preprocessing and analysis of raw experimental data is becoming the main bottleneck of the analysis pipeline, parallel computing is playing an important role in all steps of the life sciences research pipeline, from raw data management and processing, to data integration and analysis, and to data exploration and visualization. Moreover, Cloud Computing is becoming the key technology to hide the complexity of computing infrastructures, to reduce the cost of the data analysis task, and especially to change the overall business model of biomedical research and health provision. Considering the complex analysis pipeline of the biomedical research, the bottleneck is more and more moving toward the storage, integration, and analysis of experimental data, as well as their correlation and integration with publicly available data banks In such a scenario, large-scale distributed databases and parallel bioinformatics tools are key tools for organizing and exploring biological and biomedical data with the aim to discover new knowledge in biology and medicine. In the current Information age, further progress of Medical Sciences requires successful integration with Computational and Information Sciences. The workshop attempts to attract innovative ways of how such integration can be achieved via Bioinformatics and Biomedical Informatics research, particularly in taking advantage of the new advancements in HPC systems. The focus of data analysis and data mining tools in biomedical research highlights the current state of research in the key biomedical research areas such as bioinformatics, medical informatics and biomedical imaging. Addressing performance concerns in managing and accessing medical data, while facilitating the ability to integrate and correlate different biomedical databases remains an outstanding problem in biomedical research. The amount of available biomedical data continues to grow in an exponential rate; however, the impact of utilizing such resources remains minimal. The development of innovative tools in HPC environments to integrate, analyze and mine such data sources is a key step towards achieving large impact levels. The workshop focuses on topics related to the utilization of HPC systems and new models of parallel computing and cloud computing in problems related to Biomedical Informatics and Life Sciences, along with the use of data integration and data mining tools to support biomedical research and Health Care. The BILIS Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: HPC for the Analysis of Biological Data Bioinformatics Tools for Health Care Parallel Algorithms for Bioinformatics Applications Ontologies in Biology and Medicine Integration and Analysis of Molecular and Clinical Data Parallel Bioinformatics Algorithms Algorithms and Tools for Biomedical Imaging and Medical Signal Processing Energy Aware Scheduling Techniques for Large Scale Biomedical Applications HPC for analyzing Biological Networks Next Generation Sequencing and Advanced Tools for DNA Assembly HPC for Gene, Protein/RNA Analysis and Structure Prediction Identification of Biomarkers Biomedical Visualization Tools Efficient Clustering and Classification Algorithms Correlation Networks in Biomedical Research Data Mining Techniques in Biomedical Applications Heterogeneous Data Integration HPC systems for Ontology and Database Integration Pattern Recognition and Search Tools in Biological and Clinical Databases Ubiquitous Medical Knowledge Discovery and Exchange HPC for Monitoring and Treatment Facilities Drug Design and Modeling Computer Assisted Surgery and Medical Procedures Remote Patient Monitoring, Homecare Applications Mobile and Wireless Healthcare and Biomedical Applications Cloud Computing for Bioinformatics, Medicine, and Health Systems INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to HPC for Bioinformatics, Healthcare and Life Sciences.

12 Sep '18

(sorry for cross postings) ************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS: Sixth Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (HPCMS) Within PDP 2019 (www.pdp2019.eu) The 27th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, and Network-Based Computing Pavia, Italy 13-15 February 2019 https://www.pdp2019.eu/hpcms.html Extended Deadline: October 5th, 2018 Contact: William Spataro - spataro(a)unical.it ************************************************************************* AIMS AND SCOPE The development of models through which computers can simulate the evolution of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the advancement of Science. In the last decades, the increasing power of computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be impracticable. Following the success of our past HPCMS workshops we are glad to invite you to our sixth edition which will take place in Pavia (Italy). An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop is to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities, Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field. HPCMS intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine, ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research applications - Complex systems modelling and simulation - Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence implementations - Integrated approach to optimization and simulation - MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science - Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in Computational Science - High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: 5 October 2018 Acceptance notification: 15 November 2018 Camera ready due: 15 December 2018 Conference: 13 - 15 February 2019 Submission guidelines Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt).
