ScalA’17: 8th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
held in conjunction with the SC17: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC
November 13, 2017, Denver, CO, USA
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2017
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points.
Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers not exceeding 8 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages including figures, tables, and references using the ACM format for conference proceedings. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. Reference style files are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.
All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair for more information. Papers should be submitted electronically at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scala17.
Full papers will be published with the SC'17 workshop proceedings in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore. Selected papers will be invited for an extended version in a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science (JoCS).

11th Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience) in Clusters, Clouds, and Grids <https://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2018 https://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Resilience/2018>
in conjunction with
the 24th International European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par), Turin, Italy August 27 - 31, 2018 <https://europar2018.org https://europar2018.org/>
Overview:
Resilience is a critical challenge as high performance computing (HPC) systems continue to increase component counts, individual component reliability decreases (such as due to shrinking process technology and near-threshold voltage (NTV) operation), and software complexity increases. Application correctness and execution efficiency, in spite of frequent faults, errors, and failures, is essential to ensure the success of the extreme-scale HPC systems, cluster computing environments, Grid computing infrastructures, and Cloud computing services.
While a fault (e.g., a bug or stuck bit) is the cause of an error, its manifestation as a state change is considered an error (e.g., a bad value or incorrect execution), and the transition to an incorrect service is observed as a failure (e.g., an application abort or system crash). A failure in a computing system is typically observed through an application abort or a full/partial service or system outage. A detectable correctable error is often transparently handled by hardware, such as a single bit flip in memory that is protected with single-error correction double-error detection (SECDED) error correcting code (ECC). A detectable uncorrectable error (DUE) typically results in a failure, such as multiple bit flips in the same addressable word that escape SECDED ECC correction, but not detection, and ultimately cause an application abort. An undetectable error (UE) may result in silent data corruption (SDC), e.g., an incorrect application output. There are many other types of hardware and software faults, errors, and failures in computing systems.
Resilience for HPC systems encompasses a wide spectrum of fundamental and applied research and development, including theoretical foundations, fault detection and prediction, monitoring and control, end-to-end data integrity, enabling infrastructure, and resilient solvers and algorithm-based fault tolerance. This workshop brings together experts in the community to further research and development in HPC resilience and to facilitate exchanges across the computational paradigms of extreme-scale HPC, cluster computing, Grid computing, and Cloud computing.

ScalA18: 9th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
held in conjunction with the SC18: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC)
November 12, 2018, Dallas, TX, USA
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2018
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points.
Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers at a length of at least 8 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages and not exceeding 8 pages, including figures, tables, and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. Reference style files are available at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and present the paper at the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair for more information. Papers should be submitted electronically at https://submissions.supercomputing.org. Full papers will be published with the SC18 workshop proceedings in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Reproducibility Initiative
As part of a major initiative that aims to increase the level of reproducibility and replicability of results, ScalA'18 invites authors of technical papers to submit optional appendix information that can promote better reproducibility of computational results. Authors are highly encouraged to provide a 2-page Artifact Description Appendix, which will not count toward the page limit of the submission. Notes:
- A paper cannot be disqualified based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available. - The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking a paper. In particular, if two papers are of similar quality, the existence and quality of the appendices can be part of the evaluation process.

ScalA18: 9th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
held in conjunction with the SC18: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC)
November 12, 2018, Dallas, TX, USA
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2018
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points.
Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers at a length of at least 8 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages and not exceeding 8 pages, including figures, tables, and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. Reference style files are available at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
All manuscripts will be reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and present the paper at the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair for more information. Papers should be submitted electronically at <https://submissions.supercomputing.orghttps://submissions.supercomputing.org/>. Full papers will be published with the SC18 workshop proceedings in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Reproducibility Initiative
As part of a major initiative that aims to increase the level of reproducibility and replicability of results, ScalA'18 invites authors of technical papers to submit optional appendix information that can promote better reproducibility of computational results. Authors are highly encouraged to provide a 2-page Artifact Description Appendix, which will not count toward the page limit of the submission. Notes:
- A paper cannot be disqualified based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available. - The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking a paper. In particular, if two papers are of similar quality, the existence and quality of the appendices can be part of the evaluation process.

ScalA19: 10th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
held in conjunction with the SC19: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC)
November 18, 2019, Denver, CO, USA
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2019
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/ communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points.
Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers at a length of at least 6 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages and not exceeding 8 pages, including figures, tables, and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. Reference style files are available at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Papers should be submitted electronically at https://submissions.supercomputing.org.
All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Accepted papers will be published with the IEEE Computer Society as part of the SC19 workshop proceedings in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and present the paper at the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair, Christian Engelmann at engelmannc@ornl.gov, for more information.
Reproducibility Initiative
As part of a major initiative that aims to increase the level of reproducibility and replicability of results, ScalA19 invites authors of technical papers to submit optional appendix information that can promote better reproducibility of computational results. Authors are highly encouraged to provide a 2-page Artifact Description Appendix, which will not count toward the page limit of the submission. Notes:
- A paper cannot be disqualified based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available. - The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking a paper. In particular, if two papers are of similar quality, the existence and quality of the appendices can be part of the evaluation process. - Appendices should not be used to circumvent the page limit.

********************************************************************
Call for Participation
Workshop on Hierarchical Parallelism for Exascale Computing ---HiPar20---
Held in conjunction with SC20, Atlanta, GA. In cooperation with: IEEE and TCHPC.
www.hipar.net
********************************************************************
================================ Summary ================================ High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms are evolving towards having fewer but more powerful nodes, driven by the increasing number of physical cores in multiple sockets and accelerators. The boundary between nodes and networks is starting to blur, with some nodes now containing tens of compute elements and memory sub-systems connected via a memory fabric. The immediate consequence is an increase in complexity due to ever more complex architectures (e.g., memory hierarchies), novel accelerator designs, and energy constraints. Spurred largely by this trend, hierarchical parallelism is gaining momentum. This approach embraces, rather than avoiding, the intrinsic complexity of current and future HPC systems by exploiting parallelism at all levels: compute, memory and network. This workshop focuses on hierarchical parallelism. It aims to bring together application, hardware, and software practitioners proposing new strategies to fully exploit computational hierarchies, and examples to illustrate their benefits to achieve extreme scale parallelism.
================================ Scope and Aims ================================ HiPar20 is designed to showcase new studies, approaches, and cutting-edge ideas on hierarchical parallelism for extreme-scale computing. We welcome papers and talks from the HPC community addressing the use of emerging architectures — focusing particularly on those characterized by fewer but more powerful nodes as well as systems with hierarchical network with tiered communication semantics. Specifically, the emphasis is on the design, implementation, and application of programming models for multi-level parallelism, including abstractions for hierarchical memory access, heterogeneity, multi-threading, vectorization, and energy efficiency, as well as scalability and performance studies thereof.
Of particular interest are models addressing these concerns portably: providing ease of programming and maintaining performance in the presence of varied accelerators, hardware configurations, and execution models. Studies that explore the merits of specific approaches to addressing these concerns, such as generic programming or domain specific languages, are also in scope. The workshop is not limited to the traditional HPC software community. As one example, another key topic is the use of hierarchical parallelism in dealing with the challenges arising in machine learning due to the growing importance of this field, the large scale of systems tackled in that area, and the increasing interest from more traditional HPC areas.
A goal of HiPar20 is to highlight not just success stories but also discuss drawbacks and challenges. HiPar20 welcomes HPC practitioners from all areas, ranging from hardware and compiler experts to algorithms and software developers, to present and discuss the state of the art in emerging approaches to utilize multi-level parallelism for extreme scale computing.
================================ Topics ================================ Submissions are encouraged in, but not limited to the following areas:
* Hierarchical work scheduling and execution; * Hardware, software, and algorithmic advances for efficient use of memory hierarchies, multi-threading and vectorization; * Efficient use of nested parallelism, for example CUDA dynamic parallelism, for large scale simulations; * Programming heterogeneous nodes; * Leading-edge programming models, for example fully distributed task-based models and hybrid MPI+X, with X representing shared memory parallelism via threads, vectorization, tasking or parallel loop constructs. * Implementations of algorithms that are natural fits for nested work (for example approaches that use recursion); * Challenges and successes in managing computing hierarchies; * Examples demonstrating effective use of the combination of inter-node and intra-node parallelism; * Novel approaches leveraging asynchronous execution to maximize efficiency; * Challenges and successes of porting of existing applications to many-core and heterogeneous platforms; * Recent developments in compiler optimizations for emerging architectures; * Applications of hierarchical programming models from emerging AI fields, for example deep learning and extreme-scale data analytics.
================================ Submission Guidelines ================================ We solicit submissions in the following categories: (a) Regular research papers: Intended for submissions describing original work and ideas that have not appeared in another conference or journal, and are not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Regular papers must be at least (6) and must not exceed (10) letter size pages (U.S. letter – 8.5"x11"). Accepted regular papers will be published in the workshop proceedings in cooperation with IEEE TCHPC.
(b) Short papers: Intended for material that is not mature enough for a full paper, to present novel, interesting ideas or preliminary results that will be formally submitted elsewhere. Short papers must not exceed four (4) pages. Short papers will NOT be included in the proceedings.
Please note that: - The page limits above only apply to the core text, content-related appendices, and figures. References and reproducibility appendix do not count against the page limit.
- When deciding between submissions with comparable evaluations, priority will be given to those with higher quality of presentation and whose focus relates more directly to the workshop themes.
- Papers must be submitted electronically at https://submissions.supercomputing.org/ and must follow the IEEE format: www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
================================ Reproducibility Initiative ================================ HiPar20 follows the SC20 reproducibility and transparency initiative. The SC20 details can be found at: https://sc20.supercomputing.org/submit/transparency-reproducibility-initiati....
HiPar20 requires all submission to include an Artifact Description (AD) Appendix. Note that the AD will be auto-generated from author responses to a form embedded in the online submission system. The Artifact Evaluation (AE) remains optional. We also encourage authors to follow the transparency initiative for two reasons: (a) it helps the authors themselves with the actual writing and structuring of the paper to express the research process; (b) it helps readers understand the thinking process used by the authors to plan, obtain and explain their results.
================================ Coronavirus and HiPar20 ================================ We are monitoring the situation on a daily basis, following closely the SC20 updates: https://sc20.supercomputing.org/attend/coronavirus-sc/ https://sc20.supercomputing.org/2020/03/10/hpc-supports-pandemic-research-ef...
We are brainstorming about hosting the workshop in a virtual setting, should SC20 become digital. Please refer to our HiPar20 website www.hipar.net for latest updates.

ScalA20: 11th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
held in conjunction with the SC20: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC)
November 16, 2020, Atlanta, GA, USA
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2020
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points. With the advent of Big Data and AI in the past few years the need of such scalable mathematical methods and algorithms able to handle data and compute intensive applications at scale becomes even more important.
Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems.
Submission Guidelines ---------------------
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical papers at a length of at least 6 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages and not exceeding 8 pages, including figures, tables, and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings. Reference style files are available at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Papers should be submitted electronically at https://submissions.supercomputing.org.
All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Accepted papers will be published with the IEEE Computer Society as part of the SC20 workshop proceedings in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and present the paper at the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program chair, Christian Engelmann at engelmannc@ornl.gov, for more information.
Transparency and Reproducibility Initiative -------------------------------------------
As part of a major initiative that aims to increase the level of reproducibility and replicability of results, ScalA20 invites authors of technical papers to submit optional appendix information that can promote better reproducibility of computational results. Authors are highly encouraged to provide a 2-page Artifact Description Appendix, which will not count toward the page limit of the submission. Notes:
- A paper cannot be disqualified based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available.
- The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking a paper. In particular, if two papers are of similar quality, the existence and quality of the appendices can be part of the evaluation process.
- Appendices should not be used to circumvent the page limit.

Transparency and Reproducibility Initiative -------------------------------------------
As part of a major initiative that aims to increase the level of reproducibility and replicability of results, ScalA20 invites authors of technical papers to submit optional appendix information that can promote better reproducibility of computational results. Authors are highly encouraged to provide a 2-page Artifact Description Appendix, which will not count toward the page limit of the submission. Notes:
- A paper cannot be disqualified based on information provided or not provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available.
- The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking a paper. In particular, if two papers are of similar quality, the existence and quality of the appendices can be part of the evaluation process.
- Appendices should not be used to circumvent the page limit.

ScalA20: 11th Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems
held in conjunction with the SC20: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis
in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Consortium on High Performance Computing (TCHPC)
November 12, 2020 --- Virtual Location
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2020
Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points. With the advent of Big Data and AI in the past few years the need of such scalable mathematical methods and algorithms able to handle data and compute intensive applications at scale becomes even more important.
Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems.
