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

AIMS AND SCOPE
The development of models through which computers can simulate the
evolution of artificial and natural systems is fundamental for the
advancement of Science. In the last decades, the increasing power of
computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing
methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study
of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical
methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one
hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as
Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence,
etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for
modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to
be impracticable.
Following the success of our past HPCMS workshops we are glad to invite you
to our sixth edition which will take place in Pavia (Italy).
An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop is to provide a platform for a
multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers,
educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities,
Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in
the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field.
HPCMS intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on
trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields,
such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, medicine,
ecology, sociology, traffic control, economy, etc.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary
and multi-disciplinary research applications
- Complex systems modelling and simulation
- Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm
Intelligence implementations
- Integrated approach to optimization and simulation
- MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science
- Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in
Computational Science
- High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological,

CALL FOR THE 12TH IEEE INTERNATIONAL SCALABLE COMPUTING CHALLENGE (SCALE
2019)
The 12th IEEE International Scalable Computing Challenge (SCALE 2019) is
sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable
Computing (TCSC). The objective of the SCALE Challenge is to highlight
and showcase real-world problem solving using computing that scales.
Effective solutions to many scientific and engineering problems require
applications that can scale. There are different dimensions to
application scalability. For example, applications can scale-up to a
large number of cores on a compute unit, scale-out to utilize multiple
distinct compute units, or exhibit elastic scaling to acquire and
release resources on-demand, based on current need. The result may be an
application that can solve a larger problem, increase throughput, and/or
reduce execution time. In order to scale, applications need to be
supported by tools, middleware, software cyber-infrastructure,
programming frameworks, computing infrastructure, etc. The SCALE
Challenge is concerned with advances in application development and
their supporting infrastructure to enable scaling. All papers presented
at the SCALE challenge and selected by the Scale Challenge Committee of
IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2019 will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for publication
and EI indexing.
Proposal submission: 31 Jan 2019

Special Issue "The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining"
A special issue of Algorithms (ISSN 1999-4893).
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 21 December 2018
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_…
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel and distributed data mining algorithms. The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) is an international forum that brings together researchers and practitioners, working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Indeed, datasets grow so rapidly that, every day, exabytes of data are being generated, and, in order to extract and infer useful knowledge, parallel processing techniques are required to cope with this huge volume of data: Traditional sequential software is not viable to cope with them. When the data are generated in different places (such as wireless sensor networks and/or Internet of things devices), they may be geographically spread out, and the data cannot be sent to a centralized site, thus, the need for distributed processing algorithms arises. Topics relevant to this Special Issue cover the scope of the WPDM 2018 Workshop (http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/):
- 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

Introduction
The IEEE ISPA 2018 (16th IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and
Distributed Processing with Applications) is a forum for presenting leading
work on parallel and distributed computing and networking, including
architecture, compilers, runtime systems, applications, reliability,
security, parallel programming models and much more. During the symposium,
scientists and engineers in both academia and industry are invited to
present their work on concurrent and parallel systems (multicore,
multithreaded, heterogeneous, clustered systems, distributed systems,
grids, clouds, and large scale machines).
The 16th IEEE ISPA follows the tradition of previous successful IEEE ISPA
conferences in the years from 2003 to 2017 in Asia, Europe, Australia and
North America. It will feature sessions of regular presentations,
workshops, tutorials and keynote speeches. IEEE ISPA 2018 is sponsored by
the IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and the IEEE
Computer Society. IEEE ISPA is particularly interested in research
addressing heterogeneous computing with the use of accelerators, mobile
computing, approximate computing, tools and methodologies to improve the
quality of parallel programming and applying generic computing approaches
to networks, in particular Software Defined networking and its
applications.
