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, … [View More]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. Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers not exceeding 8 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages including figures, tables, and references using the ACM format for conference proceedings. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. Reference style files are available at <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop 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, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair for more information. Papers should be submitted electronically at: <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scala17>.

The organizing committee is pleased to invite you to take part in Bench'20 to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This symposium (Bench'20) is organized by the International Open Benchmarking Council (BenchCouncil). Bench'20 overlaps with SC 20 (same place and same time), but it is NOT affiliated with the SC conference. The main themes of Bench'20 are benchmarking, measuring, and optimizing systems and applications in the areas of big data, AI, block chain, HPC, datacenters, IoT, and edge computing. The Bench conference has three defining characteristics. First, it provides a highquality, single-track forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further the knowledge and understanding of the benchmark community as a whole. Second, it is a multi-disciplinary conference. The past conferences attracted the researchers and practitioners from the architecture, systems, algorithms, and applications communities. Third, it includes both invited sessions and contributed sessions. Regularly, Bench'20 will present the BenchCouncil Achievement Award ($3000), the BenchCouncil Rising Star Award ($1000), and the BenchCouncil Best Paper Award ($1000). As its duty, BenchCouncil incubates and hosts benchmark projects, and further encourages reliable and reproducible research using the benchmarks from BenchCouncil or other organizations. To this end, we present the BenchCouncil Award for Excellence for Reproducible Research to the papers using all publicly available benchmarks. Each winning paper earns a $100 prize, maximally up to 12 papers: 4 papers for each category of poster, spotlight, and oral. Call for papers ------------------------ Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following. **Synthetics or real-world data sets of: **Benchmark, measurement, and optimization of: **Benchmark specifications and open-source implementation reports of: ** Methodologies, abstractions, metrics, algorithms, and tools in benchmarking, measurement, and optimization for: ** Benchmark-driven domain-specific co-design of: ** Test methodologies and systems of: ** Workload characterization of: -Big data -AI -HPC -Machine learning -Big scientific data -Datacenters -Cloud -Warehouse-scale computing -Mobile robotics -Edge and fog computing -IoT -Block chain -Data management and storage -Medicine, finance and education Paper Submission ------------------------ Papers must be submitted in PDF. For a full paper, the page limit is 15 pages in the LNCS format, not including references. For a short paper, the page limit is 8 pages in LNCS format, not including references. The submissions will be judged based on the merit of the ideas rather than the length. After the conference, the proceeding will be published by Springer LNCS (Indexed by EI). Please note that the LNCS format is the final one for publishing. After the acceptance decisions are made, the presentation mode of each paper is determined based on the recommendations as poster, spotlight, or oral. All accepted papers, regardless of presentation mode, appear in the proceedings as full-length papers. At least one author must pre-register for the symposium, and at least one author must attend the symposium to present the paper. Papers for which no author is preregistered will be removed from the proceedings.

HPBench 2020 - Deadline has been extended
by Samar Aseeri 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Dear Sir, dear Madam, Please, can you pass this announcement also to interested colleagues. Kind regards ========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The 7th Special Session on High Performance Computing for Application Benchmarking and Optimization (HPBench 2020) As part of the International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2020) http://hpcs2020.cisedu.info/ or … [View More]http://conf.cisedu.info/rp/hpcs20 Barcelona, Spain ========================================================================== Benchmarking is an essential aspect of modern high performance computing and computational science, and as such, it provides a means for quantifying and comparing the performance of different computer systems. With a large combination of aspects to benchmark, all the way from the capability of a single core, to cluster configuration, and to various software configurations, the benchmarking process is more of an art than science. However, the results of this process drive modern science and are vital for the community to draw sensible conclusions on the performance of applications and systems. This special session focuses on research work aimed at benchmarking modern parallel and distributed systems for addressing a number of real world problems. As such, contributions concerning the definition of new open platforms, new benchmarks to match modern architectural evolutions, studies on the aspects of benchmarking different aspects of systems (from raw runtime performance to energy consumption to energy consumed per data movement) and mathematical foundations of benchmarking are sought.
