27th!
CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd International Workshop on Heterogeneous
and Unconventional Cluster Architectures and Applications
(HUCAA 2013)
http://www.hucaa-workshop.org/
October 1st 2013 - Lyon, France
In conjunction with the ICPP 2013
The 42nd International Conference on Parallel Processing
==============================
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This workshop gears to gather recent work on heterogeneous and
unconventional cluster architectures and applications, which might have
a big impact on future cluster architectures. This includes any cluster
architecture that is not based on the usual commodity components and
therefore makes use of some special hard- or software elements, or that
is used for very special and unconventional applications. In particular
we call for GPUs and other accelerators (MIC, FPGA) used at cluster
level. Other examples include virtualization, in-memory storage and
device-to-device communication on the software side. We are in
particular encouraging work on disruptive approaches, which may show
inferior performance today but can already point out their full
performance potential. The broad scope of the workshop facilitates
submissions on unconventional uses of hardware or software, gearing to
gather ideas that are coming to life now and not limiting them except
for their context: clusters.
We are seeking new proposals presented from a holistic perspective. In
this regard, one of the aims of the workshop is anticipating the
evolution of clusters. Instead of just presenting new work carried out
in the traditional cluster areas usually addressed in other conferences
and workshops, we are thinking on creating the right atmosphere for a
discussion of opportunities in cluster computing. In this regard,
contributions would not only be accepted according to their technical
merits but also according to their contribution to this discussion.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include any heterogeneous or unconventional cluster
architecture or application. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Clustered GPUs or other accelerators
- High-performance, data-intensive, and power-aware computing
- Application-specific clusters, datacenters, and cloud architectures
- New industry and technology trends and their potential impact
- Emerging programming paradigms for parallel computing
- Software cluster-level virtualization for consolidation purposes
- Hardware techniques for resource aggregation
- Management layers for large-scale systems
- New uses of GPUs, FPGAs, and other specialized hardware
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission: May 13th, 2013
Notification of acceptance: June 21st, 2013
Camera-ready paper: July 12th, 2013
PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submissions may not exceed 8 pages (two column, single spaced, 10pt
font, 81?2?11-inch pages) in PDF format including figures and
references. We recommend a minimum of 6 pages. Submitted papers must be
original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration
for another conference or journal. Work in progress is welcome, but
first results should be made available as a proof of concept.
Submissions only consisting of a proposal will be rejected. Please visit

EXTENDED PAPER JOURNAL VERSION
The authors of the best papers from the workshop will be directly
invited to submit an extended version for a special issue on a JCR
journal. From the rest of the papers presented in the workshop,
selected ones will be invited to submit an extended version. These
papers will undergo a shepherding process in order to provide the
authors with guidance for improving their work. Shepherds will be
selected from the program committee members, which will also ensure the
quality of the new versions. Notice that this special issue will be
open to other works not previously submitted to the workshop, although
these new papers will compete with the shepherded ones, which will have
higher priority for similar quality.
