8th Workshop on Irregular Applications: Architectures and Algorithms
http://hpc.pnl.gov/IA3
In Conjuction with SC18
Sponsored by IEEE TCHPC
--------------------
Call for Papers
--------------------
Irregular applications occur in many subject matters. While inherently parallel, they exhibit highly variable execution performance at a local level due to unpredictable memory access patterns and/or network transfers, divergent control structures, and data imbalances. Moreover, they often require fine-grain synchronization and communication on large-data structures such as graphs, trees, unstructured grids, sparse matrices, deep nets, tables, and their combinations (such as, for example, attributed graphs). They have a significant degree of latent parallelism, which however is difficult to exploit due to their complex behavior. Current high performance architectures rely on data locality and regular computation to reduce access latencies, and often do not cope well with the requirements of these applications. Furthermore, irregular applications are difficult to scale on current supercomputing machines, due to their limits in fine-grained synchronization and small data transfers.
Irregular applications pertain both to well established and emerging fields, such as machine learning, social network analysis, bioinformatics, semantic graph databases, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and computer security. Many of these application areas also process massive sets of unstructured data, which keep growing exponentially. Addressing the issues of irregular applications on current and future architectures will become critical to solve the challenges in science and data analysis of the next few years.
This workshop seeks to explore solutions for supporting efficient execution of irregular applications in the form of new features at the level of the micro- and system-architecture, network, languages and libraries, runtimes, compilers, analysis, algorithms. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to:
- Micro- and System-architectures, including multi- and many-core designs, heterogeneous processors, accelerators (GPUs, vector processors, Automata processor), reconfigurable (coarse grained reconfigurable and FPGA designs) and custom processors
- Network architectures and interconnect (including high-radix networks, optical interconnects)
- Novel memory architectures and designs (including processors-in memory)
- Impact of new computing paradigms on irregular workloads (including neuromorphic processors and quantum computing)
- Modeling, simulation and evaluation of novel architectures with irregular workloads
- Innovative algorithmic techniques
- Combinatorial algorithms (graph algorithms, sparse linear algebra, etc.)
- Impact of irregularity on machine learning approaches
- Parallelization techniques and data structures for irregular workloads
- Data structures combining regular and irregular computations (e.g., attributed graphs)
- Approaches for managing massive unstructured datasets (including streaming data)
- Languages and programming models for irregular workloads
- Library and runtime support for irregular workloads
- Compiler and analysis techniques for irregular workloads
- High performance data analytics applications, including graph databases
Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. We solicit both 8-page regular papers and 4-page position papers. Authors of exciting but not mature enough regular papers may be offered the option of a short 4-page paper and related short presentation.
--------------------

--------------------
Artifact Description & Evaluation
--------------------
This edition of the workshop invites authors of regular papers to follow a reproducibility initiative like the main SC Conference, with specific appendices for the Artifact Description (AD) and the Artifact Evaluation (AE). Please refer to the SC reproducibility page for further details on the rationale behind AD and AE: https://sc18.supercomputing.org/submit/sc-reproducibility-initiative/.
Authors of regular papers will be able to use up to one (1) additional page to provide an Artifact Description (AD) Appendix, describing the details of their software environments and computational experiments to the extent that an independent person could replicate their results. This additional page is voluntary, and must focus only on details on software environments and methods to execute the experiments. It should not add details on the proposed technical approaches. If a paper has no computational results, the appendix only needs to mention that computational results are not part of the paper.
Additionally, authors of accepted regular papers will be invited to formally submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation (AE) process. The process is voluntary, but authors that will participate in the AE will be eligible for the Best Paper Award of the workshop. Supporting materials for the AE include access to the actual software artifact, shared pubblicly (for example, through the CK - Collective Knowledge - https://github.com/ctuning/ck format), and two (2) further additional pages of the paper that details how to reproduce the results of the paper. For details on how to submit supporting materials to the AE process, please refer to: http://ctuning.org/ae/submission.html. Authors participating in the AE will receive an assessment of the artifact, and the related badge on their paper.
For any additional question on the AD and the AE please contact the Artifact Evaluation Chair Flavio Vella at flavio(a)dividiti.com.
--------------------
ACM TOPC Special Issue
--------------------
Authors interested in the topics of the workshop are also invited to submit papers to the thematic Special Issue on Innovations in Systems for Irregular Applications of ACM Transactions on Parallel Computing (TOPC).
We invite, in particular, authors of papers accepted to previous editions of the workshop, as well as authors of accepted papers to the upcoming edition, to submit exteded versions of their paper. Deadline for the submission to the special issue is October 31, 2018, i.e., after the notification for this year edition of the workshop, but slightly before the workshop itself.

CALL FOR THE 12TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL SCALABLE COMPUTING CHALLENGE (SCALE
2019)
The 12th IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2019) is
sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable
Computing (TCSC). The objective of the SCALE Challenge is to highlight
and showcase real-world problem solving using computing that scales.
Effective solutions to many scientific and engineering problems require
applications that can scale. There are different dimensions to
application scalability. For example, applications can scale-up to a
large number of cores on a compute unit, scale-out to utilize multiple
distinct compute units, or exhibit elastic scaling to acquire and
release resources on-demand, based on current need. The result may be an
application that can solve a larger problem, increase throughput, and/or
reduce execution time. In order to scale, applications need to be
supported by tools, middleware, software cyber-infrastructure,
programming frameworks, computing infrastructure, etc. The SCALE
Challenge is concerned with advances in application development and
their supporting infrastructure to enable scaling. All papers presented
at the SCALE challenge and selected by the Scale Challenge Committee of
IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2019 will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for publication
and EI indexing.
Proposal submission: 31 Jan 2019
