Post-doc position at Inria Rennes (France) for 18 months on Modeling Energy Consumption of Heterogeneous Numerical Infrastructures in HPC
by Laurent Lefevre 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

« Modeling Energy Consumption of Heterogeneous Numerical Infrastructures in HPC » Energy consumption is one of the main limiting factor for the design and deployment of large scale numerical infrastructures [4]. The road towards "Sustainable Exascale" is a challenge with a target of 50 Gflops per watt. Energy efficiency must be taken into account and must be combined with other criteria like performance, resilience, quality of service. In particular, power consumption is critical and power peaks should be avoided to ensure the proper power supply of the large-scale infrastructure [2]. As platforms become more and more heterogeneous (co-processors, GPUs, low power processors...), a deep understanding on how application and services can efficiently run on such large scale infrastructures remains a challenge. Simulation of infrastructures (like by using the SimGrid framework [1]) makes a significant step towards this direction. The post-doc will explore the energy consumption issues in large scale high performance heterogeneous computing platforms by measuring the actual energy consumption on real infrastructures (including Grid’5000 test-beds), and proposing end-to-end energy models for large-scale HPC infrastructures. These models will account for data movement and computations. Their integration within the SimGrid framework will allow to test what-if scenarios in order to determine for given HPC applications what would be the most suitable hardware architecture in terms of computation cores and network configuration. Several performance and energy models will be explored depending on targeted computing resources mixing simulated GPUs and low power processors. The post-doc will manage, propose and analyze several experimental scenarios in order to validate proposed solutions and to design energy-efficient HPC applications. The candidate will be located in Inria Myriads team (IRISA, Rennes, Anne-Cécile Orgerie as principal advisor) and co-advised with the Avalon team (LIP, Lyon with Laurent Lefevre co-advisor). This post-doc of 18 months will be part of the Inria International Project Lab HAC SPECIS (High-performance Application and Computers, Studying PErformance and Correctness In Simulation)[3].

----------------------Call for Papers (Final Call)------------------------------------------------ The 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019), IEEE CS- TCI 26-28 August 2019, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.ficloud.org/2019/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner. The theme of this conference is to promote the state of the art in scientific and practical research of the IoT and cloud computing. It provides a forum for bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and public sector in an effort to present their research work and share research and development ideas in the area of IoT and cloud computing.

[DEADLINE APPROACHING] The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019)
by Massimo CAFARO 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

WPDM 2019 The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2019/ CALL FOR PAPERS The Third Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) will be held in conjunction with The 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2019), http://www.iccsa.org Saint Petersburg University, Saint Petersburg, Russia July 1-4 2019 Final deadline for submissions extended to: April 7, 2019 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics.

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers.] ======================================================================= Call for Papers DeCPS 2019 - Workshop on Challenges and new Approaches for Dependable and Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering 14 June 2019, Warsaw, Poland Co-located with the Ada-Europe 24th International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies Conference web site: http://www.ada-europe.org/conference2019 ======================================================================= --- Scope --- In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has experienced an extraordinary development with a broad impact on society; however, there is still a gap between the physical world and the cyber one. Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) constitute a new class of engineered systems, integrating software control and autonomous decision making with signals from an uncertain and dynamic environment. Internet transformed the way people interact and deal with information. CPS technology transformed the way people interact with engineered systems. For this type of systems, it is necessary not only ensuring the safety of physical devices but also other factors such as information about customers, suppliers, and organizational strategies needs to be secured. In the context of cyber systems, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can contribute to manage a huge amount of heterogeneous data that come from different sources without human intervention. To deliver certification, standards for machine safety are highly recommended as they give confidence to the regulatory. The generic standard for safety-related hardware and software might be applicable, however, due to increasing autonomy of robots there is still a potential for evolution of such regulations or standards. The proper combination of AI, CPS and IoT is therefore fundamental. CPS are considered a disruptive technology which will transform the traditional manufacturing into Industry 4.0 solutions, and are used in a very wide spectrum of applications: smart mobility, autonomous driving, digital healthcare, smart grids and buildings, mobile co-operating autonomous robotic systems, digital consumer products and services. "In conclusion, the emerging Digital (R)-evolution relies heavily on Embedded Intelligent Systems technologies in domains where it is paramount that Europe takes leadership role" (Laila Gide, "The pathway to digital transformation: an opportunity for Europe", ARTEMIS Magazine 20 May 2016). This workshop aims to provide a platform to industrial practitioners, researchers and engineers in academia to exchange of their ideas, research results, experiences in the field of dependable and cyber physical systems engineering, both a theoretical and practical perspective. To foster visibility and interaction, participation in the workshop will be also open to conference participants (at no extra cost). --- Topics of interest --- The topics of interest includes, but are not limited to: * Vehicle of the Future * Transport and Mobility * Industry 4.0 in transportation sector * Security and comfort of the end-user * Human/Machine Interaction * Safety and Security * Industrial experiments and case studies * Integration of Internet of Things and Cloud Computing * Evolution of standards and certification processes * Impact of Artificial Intelligence in CPS The workshop will also include contributions from relevant projects in the domain, such as Future Factories in the Cloud (FiC), Productive 4.0, AMASS, ENABLE-S3, SafeCOP, SCOTT, etc. --- Paper submission --- Submission of regular papers (4 pages, AUJ style) at the following page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=decps2019 The post-workshop proceedings will be published in the Ada User Journal (http://www.ada-europe.org/auj/guide/). --- Important dates --- * Submission deadline: 30 April 2019 * Notification to authors: 17 May 2019 * Workshop : 14 June 2019 * After-workshop final version: 15 September 2019 * Publication in Ada User Journal: December 2019 --- Track Chairs --- * Faiz Ul Muram, Mälardalen Univ., Sweden --- Steering Committee --- * Daniela Cancila, CEA LIST, France * Martin Torngren, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden * Alessandra Bagnato, SOFTEAM, France * Cristina De Luca, Infineon Technologies Austria AG Austria * Silvia Mazzini, INTECS Italy * Laurent Rioux, Thales, France * Barbara Gallina, Mälardalen Univ., Sweden * Luis Miguel Pinho, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, Portugal ======================================================================= Dirk.Craeynest(a)cs.kuleuven.be, Ada-Europe 2019 Publicity Chair *** Ada-Europe 24th Intl.
