CFP for Special Session on Virtualization in High Performance Computing and Simulation (VIRT2019)
http://hpcs2019.cisedu.info/2-conference/special-sessions/session01-virt *The Second Special Session on **Virtualization in High Performance Computing and Simulation* *(VIRT 2019)* *CALL FOR PAPERS & PARTICIPATION* *As part of* *The 17th International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2019)* *http://hpcs2019.cisedu.info/ <http://hpcs2019.cisedu.info/> or http://conf.cisedu.info/rp/hpcs19 <http://conf.cisedu.info/rp/hpcs19>* *15 - 19 July 2019* *Dublin, Ireland* *Paper Submission Deadline: 03 March 2019* *Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters* *PURPOSE and SCOPE* Virtualization has become the foundation of cloud computing. The scale of cloud computing data centers is similar to the supercomputers used in High Performance Computing. Both involve millions of CPU cores, tens of thousands of accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs connected by high speed interconnects and different connection topologies. Studies have shown that the GPU utilization in HPC is often at 50%. Virtualization can be the key to increasing resource utilization and managing massive infrastructures efficiently. GPU vendors have introduced virtualized versions of GPUs. FPGAs are being deployed in virtual infrastructure. These and other developments in the field, along with future exascale systems, will provide increasing degree of virtualization within the systems. The goal of this session is to be an opportunity to discuss and exchange research on the different virtualization technologies and how they can be efficiently applied in High Performance Computing. Theoretical research, engineering solutions dealing with practical tradeoffs, and complex system implementation papers are welcomed. *The VIRT topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * - *Virtualization in HPC* o Energy efficient solutions for HPC applications in the cloud environment o High-availability based on system-level virtualization mechanisms for HPC o Fault tolerance mechanisms based on system-level virtualization mechanisms for HPC o Performance and evaluation of diverse HPC workloads in virtualization environment o Security Isolation, Resource Isolation and Data Isolation in Virtualized HPC o Flexibility and Ease of system administration and management for virtualized environments for HPCo Running diverse workloadso Running heterogeneous Operating Systemso Live Migration and Suspend/Resume of VMs to improve resource utilization and avoid downtimeo Scheduling of resources and Workloads o Software Defined Data Centers (SDDC) o Hypervisors and other virtualization solutions tailored for HPC systems o Big Data and Analytics in Virtualized Environments o Enterprise High Performance Computing in Virtualized Environments - *Accelerators in Virtualized HPC Environments:* o Virtualized GPUs § Scheduling of Virtual GPUs o Using FPGAs in Virtualization Stack § Dynamic Reconfiguration of FPGAs - * IO Virtualization* o Network Virtualization o SR-IOV o Software Defined Networking (SDN) o Storage Virtualization o RDMA and vRDMA - *Containers in HPC* o Isolation of Multiple User-Spaces o Running containers in Virtual Machines - *Tools* o Virtualization solutions for dealing with heterogeneity in HPC environments o Compilers for heterogenous architectures involving GPUS, FPGAs, multi-core CPUs o Operating system support for virtualization in HPC systems o Debugging and/or profiling in virtual environments - *Algorithms* o Distributed Resource Scheduling o Distributed Computing - *AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning*o Virtualization of Deep Learning Workloads o Deep Learning in HPC Simulations o Resource Allocation Using Machine Learning o Reinforcement Learning for Resource Allocation o Machine Learning to build tools for measurement & calibration - *Virtualization in Simulation* *INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS* You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to *virtualization in high performance computing and simulation*.
