(CALL FOR PAPERS) PAW-ATM: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI
by Morris, Karla NMN 08 May '18

08 May '18

************************************************ Call for Papers PAW-ATM: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI Held in conjunction with SC 18, Dallas, TX <http://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/> ************************************************ Summary As high-performance computing hardware incorporates increasing levels of heterogeneity, hierarchical organization, and complexity, parallel programming techniques necessarily grow in complexity or in their ability to abstract away complexity. The concurrent development of multi- and many-core processors, deep memory hierarchies, and accelerators and the variety of ways to combine these makes the low-level language route unmanageable for domain experts tasked with developing applications. The technologies that a competent developer might be expected to master and combine include MPI plus CUDA, OpenMP, and OpenACC, most commonly denoted MPI + X. This approach inherently saddles the developer with low-level details that might better be handled by high-level abstractions. Higher-level parallel programming models offer rich sets of abstractions that feel natural in the intended applications. Such languages and tools include (Fortran, UPC, Julia), systems for large-scale data processing and analytics (Spark, Tensorflow, Dask), and frameworks and libraries that extend existing languages (Charm++, Unified Parallel C++ (UPC++), Coarray C++, HPX, Legion, Global Arrays). While there are tremendous differences between these approaches, all strive to support better programmer abstractions for concerns such as data parallelism, task parallelism, dynamic load balancing, and data placement across the memory hierarchy. This workshop will bring together applications experts who will present concrete practical examples of using such alternatives to MPI in order to illustrate the benefits of high-level approaches to scalable programming. The workshop expands upon the two similar workshops, PAW16 and PAW17, by broadening the theme beyond partitioned global address space languages. We invite you to take part in the Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI, and to join this vibrant and diverse community of researchers and developers. Scope and Aims The scope of the PAW-ATM workshop is to provide a forum for exhibiting case studies of higher-level programming models as MPI alternatives in the context of applications as a means of better understanding applications of MPI alternatives. We encourage the submission of papers and talks detailing such applications, including characterizations of scalability and performance, of expressiveness and programmability, as well as any downsides or areas for improvement in existing higher-level programming models. In addition to informing other application programmers about the potential that is available through MPI alternatives, the workshop is designed to communicate these experiences to compiler vendors, library developers, and system architects in order to achieve broader support for high-level approaches to scalable programming. We also specifically encourage submissions covering big data analytics, deep learning, and other novel and emerging application areas, beyond well-established HPC domains. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Novel application development using parallel programming languages. * Examples that demonstrate performance, compiler optimization, error checking, and reduced software complexity. * Applications from big data analytics, bioinformatics, and other novel areas. * Performance evaluation of applications developed using MPI alternatives. * Algorithmic models enabled by high-level parallel abstractions. * Experience with the use of new compiler and runtime environments. * Libraries using or supporting MPI alternatives. * Benefits of hardware abstraction and data locality on algorithm implementation. Submissions Submissions are solicited in two categories: Full-length papers presenting novel research results: * Full-length papers will be published in the workshop proceedings in cooperation with IEEE TCHPC. Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or a journal. Papers shall not exceed eight (8) pages including text, appendices, references, and figures. Appendix pages related to the reproducibility initiative not included. Extended abstracts summarizing published/preliminary results: * Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and will not be included in the published proceedings; they are intended for timely communications of novel work that is going to be formally submitted elsewhere at a later stage, and/or of already published work that is nonetheless deemed appropriate for dissemination in this venue. Extended abstracts shall not exceed four (4) pages. Accepted full-length papers will be given longer presentation slots at the workshop than the abstract-only option. Submissions shall be submitted through Linklings ( https://submissions.supercomputing.org ). Submissions must use 10pt fonts in the IEEE format ( https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html ). The page limit includes figures, tables, and your appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit. Reproducibility initiative dependencies (Artifact Description or Computational Results Analysis) are also not included in the page limit. PAW-ATM follows the reproducibility initiative of SC18, please refer to http://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/ for additional information.

Call for participation: Oregon Programming Languages Summer School, July 9-21, 2018, Eugene, OR

Call for Participation: Oregon Programming Languages Summer School, July 9-21, 2018, Eugene, OR https://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/summerschool/summer18/ <https://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/summerschool/summer18/> The Oregon Programming Languages Summer School is devoted to teaching the principles of programming languages to students and professionals. Although the topics vary from year to year, the unifying theme is the importance of fundamental theory to the design and implementation of programming languages, the development of program verification tools, and the application of advanced programming languages to practice. The summer school attracts participants from around the world, and is often able to subsidize the participation of qualified attendees with limited resources. More than a thousand participants have attended OPLSS since its inception in 2002. The summer school is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and by generous grants from numerous companies over the years. This year's program is entitled Concurrency and Parallelism, and is co-organized by Guy Blelloch. Parallelism and concurrency are central issues in programming, and enjoy richly developed theoretical foundations that are directly applicable to programming practice. The two topics are closely related, but it is helpful to distinguish their separate purposes as well as consider their close relation to each other. Parallelism is principally concerned with efficiency, making programs run faster by taking advantage of multiple processing elements. Making parallelism practical requires fundamental theories of cost semantics and parallel algorithms, and requires the development of sophisticated compilers and run-time systems. Concurrency is principally concerned with program composition, building a composite system from components that execute independently and interact with one another. There is much active research on the design and semantics of concurrent programming languages, and on the development of verification tools to ensure their correctness. This year's speakers will address many of these topics from various perspectives. The main program takes place over two weeks, with ample time for group and private study, and to take advantage of the many recreational opportunities around Eugene. For the first time this year there will be an additional week at the start for teaching the basics of programming language theory to students with little or no prior experience.
