ExaMPI14 deadline extension for hot topic extended abstracts - 20 Sept 2014

The deadline for the ExaMPI14@SC14 hot topic extended abstracts has been extended to Sept 20th 2014. 
Submissions of hot topic extended abstracts target work-in-progress research on potentially controversial topics in Message Passing. Hot topic extended abstracts are limited to 3 pages in the IEEE format, see: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html and should be submitted electronically at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exampi14
Following is the updated CfP.
*****************************************************
ExaMPI14: Workshop on  Exascale MPI 2014
New Orleans, LA
November 17, 2014
Held in conjunction with SC14 (http://sc14.supercomputing.org)
Held in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC (http://www.sighpc.org)
The MPI design and its main implementations have proved surprisingly scalable. MPI has been robust, and been able to evolve, without fundamentally changing the model and specification. For this and many other reasons MPI is currently the de-facto standard for HPC systems and applications. However, there is a need for re-examination of the message-passing model for extreme-scale systems characterized by asymptotically decreasing local memory and highly localized communication networks. Likewise, there is a need for exploring new innovative and potentially disruptive concepts and algorithms partially to explore other roads than those taken by the MPI 3.0 standard. 

The aim of workshop is to bring together developers and researchers to present and discuss innovative algorithms and concepts in the Message Passing programming model and to create a forum for open and potentially controversial discussions on the future of MPI in the exascale era.


Topics of interest (but are not limited to)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Development of scalable Message Passing collective operations.
* Communication topology mapping interfaces and algorithms.
* Innovative algorithms for scheduling/routing to avoid network congestion.
* Integrated use of structured data layout descriptors.
* One-sided communication models and RDMA-based MPI.
MPI and threading.
* Interoperability of Message Passing and PGAS models.
* Integration of task-parallel models into Message Passing models.
* Fault tolerance in MPI.
MPI I/O.


Paper Submission and Publication
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two submission categories:
-   Regular research paper: submission of full paper.
-   Hot topic abstract: submission of an extended abstract. These submissions target work-in-progress research on potentially controversial topics in Message Passing.
Regular Papers and extended abstracts should be submitted electronically at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exampi14
Regular paper submissions are limited to 10 pages in the IEEE format, see: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit.
Hot topic extended abstracts are limited to 3 pages in the IEEE format, see: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
The 3-page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit.
Accepted regular research paper will be archived in both the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore, by virtue of SIGHPC.  Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign the ACM copyright form. Instructions for preparing regular papers for the proceedings will be emailed to authors of accepted papers.
Important Dates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Regular paper submission: September 5, 2014
* Hot topic extended abstracts submission: September 20, 2014 (extended)
* Acceptance notification of regular paper: September 22, 2014
* Acceptance notification of hot topic extended abstracts: September 29, 2014
