==========================================================================
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. Much of the
work in FPGA-based deep learning is built on these frameworks.
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 in its fifth 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.
==========================================================================
Submission Tracks and Contribution Selection:
==========================================================================
Submissions are solicited for two tracks:
Track 1: Full-length papers (8 pages) for 25-minute oral
presentation and publication in proceedings archived by IEEE TCHPC.
Track 2: Extended abstracts (4 pages) for 15-minute oral presentation
without publication.
Track 1 is targeted at technical papers containing a high level of
implementation detail and analysis discussion of experimental results.
Track 1 is suited for members of the academic and national lab community who
prefer to have their work peer-reviewed, indexed and archived by IEEE.
Track 2 is targeted at industrial contributions that describe new
capabilities and opportunities offered by emerging technologies and products,
or work in progress presentations by the academic and national lab
community. The emphasis of this track is to initiate a discussion with the
audience.
All submissions are reviewed and evaluated by at least three members of our
technical program committee. From the TPC evaluation of each
submission, the organizing committee will select papers for presentation
based on a criteria that equally weighs scientific merit and level of interest and
relevance to the HPC community.
==========================================================================
Topics:
==========================================================================
1. Improvement of performance or efficiency of HPC or data center applications with
FPGAs
2. System integration of FPGAs in clouds and HPC systems
3. Leveraging reconfigurability
4. Benchmarks
6. Programming languages, tools, and frameworks

*****************************************
Call For Papers
Data-intensive Workflows (a.k.a. scientific workflows) are routinely
used in most scientific …
[View More]disciplines today, especially in the context of
parallel and distributed computing. Workflows provide a systematic way
of describing the analysis and rely on workflow management systems to
execute the complex analyses on a variety of distributed resources. They
are at the interface between end-users and computing infrastructures.
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, e.g.,
workflows played an important role in the discovery of Gravitational Waves.
This workshop focuses on the many facets of data-intensive workflow
management systems, ranging from job execution to service management and
the coordination of data, service and job dependencies. The workshop
therefore 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 that may optimize the execution of the workflow; 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,
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
Exascale computing with workflows
In Situ Data Analytics Workflows
Interactive workflows (including workflow steering)
Workflow fault-tolerance and recovery techniques
Workflow user environments, including portals
Workflow applications and their requirements
Adaptive workflows
Workflow optimizations (including scheduling and energy efficiency)
Performance analysis of workflows
Workflow debugging
Workflow provenance

Scope
=====
Responding to disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, extreme flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, winter weather conditions, and accidents; technological advances are creating exciting new opportunities that have the potential to move HPC well beyond traditional computational workloads. Whilst HPC has a long history of simulating disasters, whatís missing to support emergency, urgent, decision making is fast, real-time acquisition of data and the ability to guarantee time constraints.
Our ability to capture data continues to grow very significantly, and combining high velocity data and live analytics with HPC models can aid in urgently responding to real-world problems, ultimately saving lives and reducing economic loss. It's not just responding to disasters, but also making urgent decisions addressing more general issues such as human health emergencies and global diseases. The challenges here are significant, but if HPC can be proven as a tool in responding to these real-world issues, the impact for our community is huge.
Leveraging HPC for urgent decision making requires expertise in a wide range of areas, from dealing with real-time data, to experience in generating results within a specific time frame (real-time constraints), and generating visualizations enabling front-line decision makers to make correct choices first time, every time. It isn't just technical challenges, but also policy issues that also need to be considered such as utilizing our HPC machines in a more interactive manner to enable the urgent exploration of numerous disaster responses.
This workshop will bring together stakeholders, researchers and practitioners from across the HPC community to identify and tackle issues involved in using HPC for urgent decision making. Success stories, case-studies and challenges will be shared, with the goal of further building up a community around leveraging HPC as an important tool in urgently responding to disasters and societal challenges.

IA^3 2019
9th Workshop on Irregular Applications: Architectures and Algorithms
http://hpc.pnl.gov/IA3
November 18, 2019
Colorado Convention Center, Denver, CO
In conjunction with SC19
Sponsored by IEEE TCHPC
Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library through IEEE TCHPC.
--------------------
Call for Papers
--------------------
Irregular applications occur in many subject matters. While inherently parallel, they exhibit …
[View More]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. Emerging supercomputing applications are moving towards a convergence of scientific simulation, data analytics, and learning algorithms, mixed in various ways. 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 and solutions that combine graph algorithms with machine learning)
- Applications that integrate scientific simulation, data analytics, and learning, and require efficient execution of irregular workloads
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.

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://sc19.supercomputing.org/submit/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 publicly (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 mailto:Flavio.Vella@unibz.it.

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 at PDP (since 2014),
we are glad to invite you to our sixth edition which will take place
in Vasteras (Västerås) (Sweden).
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
