CfP - Ada Developer Room at FOSDEM 2018, Brussels, Belgium
by Dirk Craeynest 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Presentations 8th Ada Developer Room at FOSDEM 2018 Saturday 3 February 2018, Brussels, Belgium http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~dirk/ada-belgium/events/18/180203-fosdem.html Organized in cooperation with Ada-Europe ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ada-Belgium [1] is pleased to announce that there will be a one-day Ada Developer Room on Saturday 3 February 2018 at FOSDEM 2018 in Brussels, Belgium. This Ada DevRoom is once more organized in cooperation with Ada-Europe [2]. General Information ------------------- FOSDEM [3], the Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting, is a free and non-commercial two-day weekend event organized early each year in Brussels, Belgium. It is highly developer-oriented and brings together 8000+ participants from all over the world. No registration is necessary. The goal is to provide open source developers and communities a place to meet with other developers and projects, to be informed about the latest developments in the open source world, to attend interesting talks and presentations on various topics by open source project leaders and committers, and to promote the development and the benefits of open source solutions. Ada Programming Language and Technology --------------------------------------- Awareness of safety and security issues in software systems is increasing. Multi-core platforms are now abundant. These are some of the reasons that the Ada programming language and technology attracts more and more attention, among others due to Ada's support for programming by contract and for multi-core targets. The Ada 2012 language definition was approved and published by ISO in December 2012, updated early 2016, and work on new features for the next revision is ongoing. More and more tools are available, many are open source, including for small and recent platforms. Interest keeps increasing, also in the open source community, and many exciting projects started. Ada Developer Room ------------------ FOSDEM is an ideal fit for Ada developers to meet. On the one hand, it gives the general open source community an opportunity to see what is happening in the Ada community and how Ada technology can help to produce reliable and efficient open source software. On the other hand, it gives open source Ada projects an opportunity to present themselves, get feedback and ideas, and attract participants to their project and collaboration between projects. At previous FOSDEM events, Ada-Belgium has organized very well attended Ada Developer Rooms, offering a full day program in 2006 [4], a two-day program in 2009 [5], and full day programs in 2012 [6], 2013 [7], 2014 [8], 2015 [9], and 2016 [10]. An important goal is to present exciting Ada technology and projects also to people outside the traditional Ada community. Our proposal for another dedicated Ada DevRoom was accepted, and now work continues to prepare the detailed program. We most probably will have a total of 8 schedulable hours between 11:00 and 19:00 in a room which accommodates 76 participants. More information will be posted on the dedicated web-page on the Ada-Belgium site [11], and final announcements will of course also be sent to various forums, lists and newsgroups. Call for Presentations ---------------------- We would like to schedule technical presentations, tutorials, demos, live performances, project status reports, discussions, etc, in the Ada Developer Room. Ada-Belgium calls on you to: - inform us at ada-belgium-board(a)cs.kuleuven.be about specific presentations you would like to hear in this Ada DevRoom; - for bonus points, subscribe to the Ada-FOSDEM mailing list [12] to discuss and help organize the details; - for more bonus points, be a speaker: the Ada-FOSDEM mailing list is the place to be! Do you have a talk you want to give? Do you have a project you would like to present? Would you like to get more people involved with your project? We're inviting proposals that are related to Ada software development, and include a technical oriented discussion. You're not limited to slide presentations, of course. Be creative. Propose something fun to share with people so they might feel some of your enthusiasm for Ada! Speaking slots are 20 or 45 minutes, plus 5 minutes for Q&A. Depending on interest, we might also have a session with lightning presentations (e.g. 5 minutes each). Note that all talks will be streamed live (audio+video) and recorded, for remote as well as later viewing of talks, and so that people can watch streams in the hallways when rooms are full. By submitting a proposal, you agree to being recorded and streamed, and agree the content of your talk will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM content, a Creative Commons (CC-BY) license. Submission Guidelines --------------------- Subscribe to the Ada-FOSDEM mailing list [12], and submit your proposal there. If needed, feel free to contact us at ada-belgium-board(a)cs.kuleuven.be. Please include: - your name, affiliation, contact info; - the title of your talk (be descriptive and creative); - a short descriptive and attractive abstract; - potentially pointers to more information; - a short bio and photo. See programs of previous Ada DevRooms (URLs below) for presentation examples, as well as for the kind of info we need. We'd like to put together a draft schedule by early December. So, please act ASAP, and definitely by November 26, 2017 at the latest. We look forward to lots of feedback and proposals!

CfP: ROME 2018 - 6th Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for the Many-core Era
by Lankes, Stefan 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPER The 6th Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for the Many-core Era (ROME 2018) May 25, 2018, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada held in conjunction with IPDPS 2018, May 21 - May 25, 2018 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada https://wrome.github.io/vancouver2018/ <https://wrome.github.io/vancouver2018/> ======================================================================= Background ---------- Since the beginning of the multicore era, parallel processing has become prevalent across the board. However, in order to continue a performance increase, a further evolutionary step is currently ongoing by moving away from common multicores towards innovative heterogeneous many-core architectures with deep memory hierarchies on a large scale. Such systems, equipped with a significantly higher number of cores per chip than multicores, pose challenges in both hardware and software design. On the hardware side, complex on-chip networks, scratchpads, hybrid memory cubes, non-volatile memory and stacked memory, as well as deep cache-hierarchies and novel cache-coherence strategies currently enrich the respective research areas. However, the ROME workshop focuses on the software side because without complying system software, runtime and operating system support, all these new hardware facilities cannot be exploited. Hence, the challenges in hardware/software co-design are to step beyond traditional approaches and to venture new approaches for runtime, middleware and operating system designs in order to exploit the theoretically available performance of upcoming hardware features as effectively and energy-consciously as possible. In addition, there is currently a strong trend to converge the areas of cloud and high-performance computing. Classical cloud techniques will soon be used in the area of high-performance computing and vise-versa. Projects and frameworks have already proven the benefits of OS-level virtualization for high-performance computing, whereas high-performance interconnects are able to accelerate cloud applications, too. Moreover, customized operating systems, hypervisors and unikernels are likely to leverage the efficient employment of virtualization on a broad scale. Topics ------ Authors from all related disciplines are invited to submit unpublished papers regarding their work on many-core related software research regarding operating systems and runtime environments in the area of cloud and high-performance computing. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Virtualization techniques (e. g. containers) for high-performance computing * System software to converge cloud and high-performance computing * Lightweight/specialized operating systems, unikernels and hypervisors * New approaches for operating systems on novel (heterogeneous) many-core architectures * System software for enabling parallelism at an extreme scale * Management, deployment of virtualized environments and orchestration * Many-core/multi-node aware runtime support for large-scale applications * Bare-metal programming and system software for many-cores * Extensions for operating systems and virtualization techniques to support emerging memory technologies * System noise analysis and prevention * Message-passing interfaces and middleware for many-core systems * Heterogeneity- and/or hierarchy-aware many-core middleware * Software stacks for new concepts of compute acceleration by GPUs, FPGAs and many-core architecture * Interfaces for performance and power analysis * Runtime support and kernel extensions for power-aware many-core computing Paper Submission ---------------- Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references. The submitted manuscripts should include author names and affiliations. The IEEE conference style templates for MS Word and LaTeX provided by IEEE eXpress Conference Publishing are available for download.

Upload your submission to our submission server (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rome2018 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rome2018>) in PDF format. Accepted manuscripts will be included in the IPDPS workshop proceedings.
