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 systems. This has permitted a broad application of numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, PIC, 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 due to space and/or time constraints. An important mission of the HPCMS Workshop now at its eleventh year at PDP - 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. HPCMS intent is to thus offer an opportunity to express and confront views on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in computational problems and high-performance computing, related to areas in 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, Sycl and CUDA applications in Computational Science - Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in Computational Science - High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Performance models and their integration into the design of efficient parallel algorithms for heterogeneous platforms - Hardware approaches (e.g., FPGAs, Neuromorphic computing, etc) of high performance computing in modeling and simulation IMPORTANT DATES DEADLINE Paper submission: 15 November 2024 Acceptance notification: 10 December 2024 Camera ready due: 27 January 2025 Conference: 12 - 14 March 2025 Submission guidelines Authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt) and follow format guidelines found at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

Call for Papers PAW-ATM 2024: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X
by Morris Wright, Karla Vanessa 18 Jun '24

18 Jun '24

**************************************************************** Call for Papers PAW-ATM 2024: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X Held in conjunction with SC24, Atlanta, GA Submissions deadline: July 24, 2024 Notification to authors: August 30, 2024 Workshop date: November 17, 2024 https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/ **************************************************************** SUMMARY As supercomputers become more and more powerful, the number and diversity of applications that can be tackled with these machines grows. Unfortunately, the architectural complexity of these supercomputers grows as well, with heterogeneous processors, multiple levels of memory hierarchy, and many ways to move data and synchronize between processors. The MPI+X programming model, use of which is considered by many to be standard practice, demands that a programmer be expert in both the application domain and the low-level details of the architecture(s) on which that application will be deployed, and the availability of such superhuman programmers is a critical bottleneck. Things become more complicated when evolution and change in the underlying architecture translates into significant re-engineering of the MPI+X code to maintain performance. Numerous alternatives to the MPI+X model exist, and by raising the level of abstraction on the application domain and/or the target architecture, they offer the ability for "mere mortal" programmers to take advantage of the supercomputing resources that are available to advance science and tackle urgent real-world problems. However, compared to the MPI+X approach, these alternatives generally lack two things. First, they aren't as well known as MPI+X and a domain scientist may simply not be aware of models that are a good fit to their domain. Second, they are less mature than MPI+X and likely have more functionality or performance "potholes" that need only be identified to be addressed. PAW-ATM is a forum for discussing HPC applications written in alternatives to MPI+X. Its goal is to bring together application experts and proponents of high-level languages to present concrete example uses of such alternatives, describing their benefits and challenges. SCOPE AND AIMS The PAW-ATM workshop is designed to be a forum for discussion of supercomputing-scale parallel applications and their implementation in programming models outside of the dominant MPI+X paradigm. Papers and talks will explore the benefits (or perhaps drawbacks) of implementing specific applications with alternatives to MPI+X, whether those benefits are in performance, scalability, productivity, or some other metric important to that application domain. Presenters are encouraged to generalize the experience with their application to other domains in science and engineering and to bring up specific areas of improvement for the model(s) used in the implementation. In doing so, our hope is to create a setting in which application authors, language designers, and architects can present and discuss the state of the art in alternative scalable programming models, while also wrestling with how to increase their effectiveness and adoption. Beyond well-established HPC scientific simulations, we also encourage submissions exploring artificial intelligence, big data analytics, machine learning, and other emerging application areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel application development using high-level parallel programming languages and frameworks * Examples that demonstrate performance, compiler optimization, error checking, and reduced software complexity * Applications from artificial intelligence, data analytics, bioinformatics, and other novel areas * Performance evaluation of applications developed using alternatives to MPI+X and comparisons to standard programming models * Novel algorithms enabled by high-level parallel abstractions * Experience with the use of new compilers and runtime environments * Libraries using or supporting alternatives to MPI+X * Benefits of hardware abstraction and data locality on algorithm implementation Papers that include description of applications that demonstrate the use of alternative programming models will be given higher priority. SUBMISSIONS Submissions are solicited in two tracks: 1) Full-length papers presenting novel research results: * Full-length papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers must describe original work that has not appeared in, nor is under consideration for another conference or journal. Papers shall be eight (8) pages minimum and not exceed ten (10) pages including text, figures, and non-AD appendices, but excluding bibliography and acknowledgments. PAW-ATM follows the reproducibility initiative of SC24. Submissions shall include an Artifact Description (AD) appendix. The appendix pages related to the reproducibility initiative dependencies are not included in the page count.

[apologies for cross-postings] ==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 19th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '24) held in conjunction with the European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Aug 26th, 2024, Madrid, Spain. ==================================================================== Late-breaking submission deadline: June 7th, 2024 AoE (extended) (Springer LNCS Proceedings) Date: August 26th, 2024 Workshop URL: https://vhpc.github.io/ To submit an abstract or paper, please follow the link provided in the Call for Papers (CfP) announcement at the end of this message. Call for Papers Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their co-existence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, uni-kernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O virtualization, in turn, allows physical network interfaces to exchange traffic with multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays independently from the underlying physical topology, is another fundamental enabling technology for Cloud/HPC infrastructures. Last, storage virtualization needs to evolve to support increasingly demanding requirements in terms of performance and reliability for the managed application data. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume. Topics of Interest The VHPC program committee solicits original, high-quality submissions related to virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection of HPC, containers/ virtualization and cloud computing.

I/O virtualization, in turn, allows physical network interfaces to exchange traffic with multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays independently from the underlying physical topology, is another fundamental enabling technology for Cloud/HPC infrastructures. Last, storage virtualization needs to evolve to support increasingly demanding requirements in terms of performance and reliability for the managed application data. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume.
