[FINAL EXTENSION] IA^3 2018 - Extended to September 8 (FINAL EXTENSION, HARD)
by Tumeo, Antonino 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] !!!!!NEWS!!!!: Deadline extended to September 8th. Final extension, hard deadline!!! IA^3 2018 8th Workshop on Irregular Applications: Architectures and Algorithms http://hpc.pnl.gov/IA3 In Conjuction with SC18 Sponsored by IEEE TCHPC -------------------- Call for Papers -------------------- Irregular applications occur in many subject matters. While inherently parallel, they exhibit highly variable execution performance at a local level due to unpredictable memory access patterns and/or network transfers, divergent control structures, and data imbalances. Moreover, they often require fine-grain synchronization and communication on large-data structures such as graphs, trees, unstructured grids, sparse matrices, deep nets, tables, and their combinations (such as, for example, attributed graphs). They have a significant degree of latent parallelism, which however is difficult to exploit due to their complex behavior. Current high performance architectures rely on data locality and regular computation to reduce access latencies, and often do not cope well with the requirements of these applications. Furthermore, irregular applications are difficult to scale on current supercomputing machines, due to their limits in fine-grained synchronization and small data transfers. Irregular applications pertain both to well established and emerging fields, such as machine learning, social network analysis, bioinformatics, semantic graph databases, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and computer security. Many of these application areas also process massive sets of unstructured data, which keep growing exponentially. Addressing the issues of irregular applications on current and future architectures will become critical to solve the challenges in science and data analysis of the next few years. This workshop seeks to explore solutions for supporting efficient execution of irregular applications in the form of new features at the level of the micro- and system-architecture, network, languages and libraries, runtimes, compilers, analysis, algorithms. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to: - Micro- and System-architectures, including multi- and many-core designs, heterogeneous processors, accelerators (GPUs, vector processors, Automata processor), reconfigurable (coarse grained reconfigurable and FPGA designs) and custom processors - Network architectures and interconnect (including high-radix networks, optical interconnects) - Novel memory architectures and designs (including processors-in memory) - Impact of new computing paradigms on irregular workloads (including neuromorphic processors and quantum computing) - Modeling, simulation and evaluation of novel architectures with irregular workloads - Innovative algorithmic techniques - Combinatorial algorithms (graph algorithms, sparse linear algebra, etc.) - Impact of irregularity on machine learning approaches - Parallelization techniques and data structures for irregular workloads - Data structures combining regular and irregular computations (e.g., attributed graphs) - Approaches for managing massive unstructured datasets (including streaming data) - Languages and programming models for irregular workloads - Library and runtime support for irregular workloads - Compiler and analysis techniques for irregular workloads - High performance data analytics applications, including graph databases Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. We solicit both 8-page regular papers and 4-page position papers. Authors of exciting but not mature enough regular papers may be offered the option of a short 4-page paper and related short presentation. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- Position or Regular Paper Submission: SEPTEMBER 8, 2018 (HARD DEADLINE, FINAL EXTENSION). Notification: September 28, 2018 Camera-ready: October 10, 2018 Workshop: November 12, 2018 Submissions Submission site: https://submissions.supercomputing.org Submitted manuscripts may not exceed eight (8) pages in length for regular papers and four (4) pages for position papers including figures, tables and references. Authors of regular papers will be able to provide up to one (1) additional pages for the Artifact Description (AD) appendix and, after paper acceptance, up to two (2) additional pages for the Artifact Evaluation (AE) appendix. The workshop proceedings will be published through IEEE TCHPC and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. The templates are available at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. -------------------- Artifact Description & Evaluation -------------------- This edition of the workshop invites authors of regular papers to follow a reproducibility initiative like the main SC Conference, with specific appendices for the Artifact Description (AD) and the Artifact Evaluation (AE). Please refer to the SC reproducibility page for further details on the rationale behind AD and AE: https://sc18.supercomputing.org/submit/sc-reproducibility-initiative/. Authors of regular papers will be able to use up to one (1) additional page to provide an Artifact Description (AD) Appendix, describing the details of their software environments and computational experiments to the extent that an independent person could replicate their results. This additional page is voluntary, and must focus only on details on software environments and methods to execute the experiments. It should not add details on the proposed technical approaches. If a paper has no computational results, the appendix only needs to mention that computational results are not part of the paper. Additionally, authors of accepted regular papers will be invited to formally submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation (AE) process. The process is voluntary, but authors that will participate in the AE will be eligible for the Best Paper Award of the workshop. Supporting materials for the AE include access to the actual software artifact, shared pubblicly (for example, through the CK - Collective Knowledge - https://github.com/ctuning/ck format), and two (2) further additional pages of the paper that details how to reproduce the results of the paper. For details on how to submit supporting materials to the AE process, please refer to: http://ctuning.org/ae/submission.html.

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.

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, physical, and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: 20 September 2018 Acceptance notification: 20 October 2018 Camera ready due: 18 November 2018 Conference: 13 – 15 February 2019 Submission guidelines Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages in the IEEE Conference proceedings format (IEEEtran, double-column, 10pt).

[CFP] IA^3 2018 - Deadline extended to September 5
by Tumeo, Antonino 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] — NEWS: DUE TO NUMEROUS REQUESTS, WE HAVE EXTENDED THE DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS AND PAPERS TO SEPTEMBER 5! — IA^3 2018 8th Workshop on Irregular Applications: Architectures and Algorithms http://hpc.pnl.gov/IA3 In Conjuction with SC18 Sponsored by IEEE TCHPC -------------------- Call for Papers -------------------- Irregular applications occur in many subject matters. While inherently parallel, they exhibit highly variable execution performance at a local level due to unpredictable memory access patterns and/or network transfers, divergent control structures, and data imbalances. Moreover, they often require fine-grain synchronization and communication on large-data structures such as graphs, trees, unstructured grids, sparse matrices, deep nets, tables, and their combinations (such as, for example, attributed graphs). They have a significant degree of latent parallelism, which however is difficult to exploit due to their complex behavior. Current high performance architectures rely on data locality and regular computation to reduce access latencies, and often do not cope well with the requirements of these applications. Furthermore, irregular applications are difficult to scale on current supercomputing machines, due to their limits in fine-grained synchronization and small data transfers. Irregular applications pertain both to well established and emerging fields, such as machine learning, social network analysis, bioinformatics, semantic graph databases, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and computer security. Many of these application areas also process massive sets of unstructured data, which keep growing exponentially. Addressing the issues of irregular applications on current and future architectures will become critical to solve the challenges in science and data analysis of the next few years. This workshop seeks to explore solutions for supporting efficient execution of irregular applications in the form of new features at the level of the micro- and system-architecture, network, languages and libraries, runtimes, compilers, analysis, algorithms. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to: - Micro- and System-architectures, including multi- and many-core designs, heterogeneous processors, accelerators (GPUs, vector processors, Automata processor), reconfigurable (coarse grained reconfigurable and FPGA designs) and custom processors - Network architectures and interconnect (including high-radix networks, optical interconnects) - Novel memory architectures and designs (including processors-in memory) - Impact of new computing paradigms on irregular workloads (including neuromorphic processors and quantum computing) - Modeling, simulation and evaluation of novel architectures with irregular workloads - Innovative algorithmic techniques - Combinatorial algorithms (graph algorithms, sparse linear algebra, etc.) - Impact of irregularity on machine learning approaches - Parallelization techniques and data structures for irregular workloads - Data structures combining regular and irregular computations (e.g., attributed graphs) - Approaches for managing massive unstructured datasets (including streaming data) - Languages and programming models for irregular workloads - Library and runtime support for irregular workloads - Compiler and analysis techniques for irregular workloads - High performance data analytics applications, including graph databases Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. We solicit both 8-page regular papers and 4-page position papers. Authors of exciting but not mature enough regular papers may be offered the option of a short 4-page paper and related short presentation. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- Abstract Submission: September 5, 2018 (EXTENDED) Position or Regular Paper Submission: September 5, 2018 (EXTENDED) Notification: September 28, 2018 Camera-ready: October 10, 2018 Workshop: November 12, 2018 Submissions Submission site: https://submissions.supercomputing.org<https://submissions.supercomputing.org/> Submitted manuscripts may not exceed eight (8) pages in length for regular papers and four (4) pages for position papers including figures, tables and references. Authors of regular papers will be able to provide up to one (1) additional pages for the Artifact Description (AD) appendix and, after paper acceptance, up to two (2) additional pages for the Artifact Evaluation (AE) appendix. The workshop proceedings will be published through IEEE TCHPC and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. The templates are available at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. -------------------- Artifact Description & Evaluation -------------------- This edition of the workshop invites authors of regular papers to follow a reproducibility initiative like the main SC Conference, with specific appendices for the Artifact Description (AD) and the Artifact Evaluation (AE). Please refer to the SC reproducibility page for further details on the rationale behind AD and AE: https://sc18.supercomputing.org/submit/sc-reproducibility-initiative/. Authors of regular papers will be able to use up to one (1) additional page to provide an Artifact Description (AD) Appendix, describing the details of their software environments and computational experiments to the extent that an independent person could replicate their results. This additional page is voluntary, and must focus only on details on software environments and methods to execute the experiments. It should not add details on the proposed technical approaches. If a paper has no computational results, the appendix only needs to mention that computational results are not part of the paper. Additionally, authors of accepted regular papers will be invited to formally submit their supporting materials to the Artifact Evaluation (AE) process. The process is voluntary, but authors that will participate in the AE will be eligible for the Best Paper Award of the workshop. Supporting materials for the AE include access to the actual software artifact, shared pubblicly (for example, through the CK - Collective Knowledge - https://github.com/ctuning/ck format), and two (2) further additional pages of the paper that details how to reproduce the results of the paper. For details on how to submit supporting materials to the AE process, please refer to: http://ctuning.org/ae/submission.html. Authors participating in the AE will receive an assessment of the artifact, and the related badge on their paper. For any additional question on the AD and the AE please contact the Artifact Evaluation Chair Flavio Vella at flavio(a)dividiti.com<mailto:flavio@dividiti.com>. -------------------- ACM TOPC Special Issue -------------------- Authors interested in the topics of the workshop are also invited to submit papers to the thematic Special Issue on Innovations in Systems for Irregular Applications of ACM Transactions on Parallel Computing (TOPC).
