Fourth International Workshop on
Heterogeneous High-performance Reconfigurable Computing (H^2RC)
==========================================================================
Held in conjunction with Supercomputing 2018
Sunday Morning, November 11, 2018
Dallas, TX
http://h2rc.cse.sc.edu
==========================================================================
Submission Deadline:
August 15, 2018 (1 to 4 page extended abstracts)
==========================================================================
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.
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 its fourth 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.
==========================================================================
Topics
==========================================================================
Submissions are solicited that explore the state of the art in the use
of FPGAs in heterogeneous high-performance compute architectures and, at
a system level, in data centers and supercomputers. FPGAs may be
considered from either or both the distributed, parallel and composable
fabric of compute elements or from their dynamic reconfigurability. We
particularly encourage submissions which focus on the mapping of
algorithms and applications to heterogeneous FPGA-based systems as well
as the overall impact of such architectures on the compute capacity,
cost, power efficiency, and overall computational capabilities of data
centers and supercomputers. A non-comprehensive list of potential
topics of interest is given below:
1. FPGAs in the cloud and data center
2. Cloud and data center applications
3. Leveraging reconfigurability
4. Benchmarks
5. Implementation studies
6. Programming languages, tools, and frameworks
7. Future-gazing
8. Community building
==========================================================================
Special theme for 2018
==========================================================================
For this year's workshop we especially encourage the submission of
papers on the topic of FPGA-based support for non-volatile memory and
near-memory computing.
Non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies such as Flash and Phase-Change
memory potentially facilitate shared storage in the microsecond regime.
In emerging systems, NVM may serve as a new level of memory hierarchy or
as a networked resource. To this end, early work in developing both
system-level interfaces to NVM (such as NVMe) and network-level
interfaces to NVM (such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet 2) rely heavily
on FPGAs as low-latency intermediaries.
==========================================================================
Prospective authors are invited to submit relevant contributions as an
extended abstract in ACM SIG Proceedings format of up to four pages.
You can submit your contribution(s) through a link on the H2RC website:
http://h2rc.cse.sc.edu
The authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their work at
the workshop.

Call For Papers
Data-intensive
workflows (a.k.a. scientific workflows) are routinely used in most
scientific disciplines today, especially in the context of
high-performance, parallel and distributed computing. They provide a
systematic way of describing a complex scientific process and rely on
sophisticated workflow management systems to execute on a variety of
parallel and distributed resources. With the dramatic increase of raw
data volume in every domain, they play an even more critical role to
assist scientists in organizing and processing their data and to
leverage HPC or HTC resources, being at the interface between end-users
and computing infrastructures.
This workshop focuses on the many
facets of data-intensive workflow management systems, ranging from
actual execution to service management and the coordination and
optimization of data, service and job dependencies. The workshop covers a
broad range of issues in the scientific workflow lifecycle that
include: data-intensive workflows representation and enactment;
designing workflow composition interfaces; workflow mapping techniques
to optimize the execution of the workflow for different infrastructures;
workflow enactment engines that need to deal with failures in the
application and execution environment; and a number of computer science
problems related to scientific workflows such as semantic technologies,
compiler methods, scheduling and fault detection and tolerance.
The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
Big Data analytics workflows
Data-driven workflow processing (including stream-based workflows)
Workflow composition, tools, and languages
Workflow execution in distributed environments (including HPC, clouds, and
grids)
Reproducible computational research using workflows
Dynamic data dependent workflow systems solutions

ICTH 2018 will be held in the city of Leuven. Leuven is the capital of the
province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is located about 25 kilometres
(16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th largest municipality in Belgium
and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to the Katholieke Universiteit
Leuven, the largest and oldest university of the Low Countries and the
oldest Catholic university still in existence. The related university
hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the largest hospitals of Europe. The city
is also known for being the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the
world's largest brewer and one of the five largest consumer-goods companies
in the world.
The conference venue will be at Park Inn (by Radisson) Hotel (Leuven),
which is located right in the heart of the Leuven city. The hotel is less
than 2 mins walk from the Leuven train station. All you have to do is to
get off the train (or the taxi or the bus) and take the elevator to the
bridge connecting the hotel with the rest of the city. Leuven city is
directly connected with the Brussels International airport with a 13 min
connection via train, 45 mins via bus or a 20 min by taxi (or Uber).
