ParCo2019 Symposium on Tools and Infrastructure for Reproducibility in Data-Intensive Applications
by Sandro Fiore 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email] ============================================================================ ParCo2019 Symposium on Tools and Infrastructure for Reproducibility in Data-Intensive Applications September 10, 2019 in Prague https://sites.google.com/cmcc.it/parco2019-reprod-symposium/home <https://sites.google.com/cmcc.it/parco2019-reprod-symposium/home> ============================================================================ Overview Meaningful advances in science and engineering are increasingly predicated on data-driven decision making. For these decisions to be valid, it is essential that the one not only record the process by which results were produced, but be able to reproduce the data involved at every step in the process. While we are all used to tracking source code revisions, and keeping track of program inputs and outputs, the increased complexity of end-to-end computing pipelines, coupled with new big-data and machine learning algorithms, imposes significant complexity on tracking all of the steps and associated data that went into producing a result. For example, keeping track of exactly what data use used for a training set vs. an evaluation set, what cleaning was done, what analysis was done on the results to evaluate performance, and what additional experiments were performed. With the ever-increasing number, size, and complexity of the data used in data-intensive applications, reproducing results from these types of investigations becomes increasingly difficult. While no-one deliberately sets out to create un-reproducible results, recent surveys of the literature shows that the ability to reproduce data-intensive results are the exception and not the rule. For these reasons, a symposium on issues, tools and infrastructure for data intensive applications is highly germane to the ParCo community. In this symposium, we propose to review current state of the art in reproducibility in data-intensive computing applications. We will cover three primary topic areas: - Reproducibility challenges that are specific to science and engineering activities that have data-intensive computing as a core aspect of the process - Infrastructure, tools and methods that are currently available for reproducible data-intensive applications, and gaps and challenges that need to be addressed. - How to increase the adoption of methods for reproducible data-intensive applications across the research community. Dates: - Submission of extended abstracts/draft papers: 31 July 2019 - Notification of acceptance for presentation at the Symposium: 10 August 2019 - Submission of full papers: 10 September 2019 - Symposium: 10 September, 2019 - Notification of acceptance of full papers for publication: 30 September 2019 - Deadline for submission of full papers for proceedings: 31 October 2019 Submission guidelines: - Extended abstracts should be ca. 2 pages.

CfP: 5th Workshop on Heterogeneous High-performance Reconfigurable Computing (H2RC 2019) at SC19: Submission Deadline Aug. 15
by BAKOS, JASON 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

========================================================================== ** Call for Papers ** ========================================================================== Fifth International Workshop on Heterogeneous High-performance Reconfigurable Computing (H^2RC 2019) ========================================================================== Held in conjunction with Supercomputing 2019 and In cooperation with the IEEE Technical Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC) ========================================================================== Sunday, November 17, 2019 (ALL DAY) Denver, CO http://h2rc.cse.sc.edu ========================================================================== Submission Deadline: August 15, 2019 (4- and 8- page papers) Accepted 8-page manuscripts published/archived by IEEE (See below for descriptions of submission tracks.) ========================================================================== As conventional von-Neumann architectures are suffering from rising power densities, we are facing an era with power, energy efficiency, and cooling as first-class constraints for scalable HPC. FPGAs can tailor the hardware to the application, avoiding overheads and achieving higher hardware efficiency than general-purpose architectures. Leading FPGA manufacturers have recently made a concerted effort to provide a range of higher-level, easier-to-use high-level programming models for FPGAs, and much of the work in FPGA-based deep learning is built on these frameworks. Such initiatives are already stimulating new interest within the HPC community around the potential advantages of FPGAs over other architectures. With this in mind, this workshop, now in its fifth year, brings together HPC and heterogeneous-computing researchers to demonstrate and share experiences on how newly-available high-level programming models, including OpenCL, are already empowering HPC software developers to directly leverage FPGAs, and to identify future opportunities and needs for research in this area. ========================================================================== Submission Tracks and Contribution Selection ========================================================================== Submissions are solicited for two tracks: Track 1: Full-length papers (8 pages) for 25-minute oral presentation and publication in proceedings archived by IEEE. Track 2: Extended abstracts (4 pages) for 15-minute oral presentation without publication. Track 1 is targeted for technical papers containing a high level of implementation detail and analysis discussion of experimental results. Track 1 is suited for members of the academic and national lab community who prefer to have their work peer-reviewed, indexed and archived by IEEE. Track 2 is targeted for industrial contributions that describe new capabilities and opportunities offered by emerging technologies and products or work in progress presentations by the academic and national lab community. The emphasis of this track is to initiate a discussion with the audience. All submissions are reviewed and evaluated by at least three members of our technical program committee. From the TPC evaluation of each submission, the organizing committee will select papers for presentation based on a criteria that is equally weighted between scientific merit and level of interest and relevance to the HPC community. ========================================================================== Topics ========================================================================== 1. Improvement of performance or efficiency of HPC or data center applications with FPGAs 2. System integration of FPGAs in clouds and HPC systems 3. Leveraging reconfigurability 4. Benchmarks 6. Programming languages, tools, and frameworks 7. Future-gazing ========================================================================== Important dates: ========================================================================== Submission Deadline: August 15, 2019 Acceptance Notification: September 15, 2019 Camera-ready Manuscripts Due: October 11, 2019 Workshop Date: November 17, 2019 ========================================================================== Organizing Committee: ========================================================================== Jason D.
