VTDC 2015 CALL FOR PAPERS
=========================
The 8th International Workshop on
Virtualization Technologies in Distributed Computing
http://people.rennes.inria.fr/
Portland, OR, USA
(Held in conjunction with HPDC 2015 -- The International Symposium on High
Performance Distributed Computing and FCRC 2015 - The Federated Computing
Research Conference)
IMPORTANT DATES
===============
Abstract submission: Feb 13, 2015 (11:59PM AOE)
Paper submission: Feb 20, 2015 (11:59PM AOE)
Acceptance notification: March 20, 2015
Final papers due: April 10, 2015
Workshop: June 15-16, 2015
THEME: CONVERGENCE BETWEEN CLOUD AND HPC
==============================
During the past few years, a convergence has been observed between cloud
computing and High Performance Computing (HPC) at all levels, such as
infrastructures, technologies, and applications. For example, cloud
infrastructures are increasingly pressured to improve energy efficiency and
resource utilisation, which are traditional HPC concerns, while cloud
applications not only include long-running services, but also data-driven
applications and number crunching jobs. On the HPC front, job elasticity (or
dynamic jobs) has seen its way into batch schedulers: Instead of allocating
resources for peak requirements, HPC applications can be allocated the right
amount of resources for each execution phase, thus enabling a more efficient
resource utilisation. Furthermore, hardware used to be either specialised for
HPC or commodity for clouds, whereas now both types of infrastructure converge
towards using commodity hardware with a few specialised components, in
particular networking but also, e.g., accelerators. In the coming years, we
expect this convergence to lead to hybrid infrastructures running hybrid
applications, the infrastructures presenting characteristics both of HPC and
cloud systems, whereas the applications featuring a mix of compute- and
data-intensive applications, as well as user-facing services.
The VTDC workshop is open to researchers and practitioners in academia and
industry who are involved in research, development, and planning activities
involving the use of hybrid infrastructure and hybrid applications. Of
particular interest are submissions highlighting the convergence between HPC
and cloud systems at infrastructure, tools, or application level. For example,
contributions showing the benefits of applying HPC techniques or technologies
to clouds or the reverse are particularly interesting. Also of interests are
submission highlighting the difficulty of managing hybrid infrastructures
and/or hybrid applications.
Topics of interest include:
- Cloud technologies (e.g., virtualisation, containers) applied to HPC
- Use of HPC technologies (e.g., RDMA, low-latency communication, accelerators) inside clouds
- Orchestrated management of hybrid applications or hybrid infrastructures
- Unconventional HPC job scheduling (e.g., elasticity, migration)
- Running HPC applications on cloud infrastructures
- Programming models to support HPC application elasticity
- HPC-as-a-Service platforms
- Tools and programming models to support hybrid applications
- Performance modelling for hybrid applications
- Application deployment issues on cloud and HPC infrastructures
- Hybrid workloads (e.g., jobs and services), analysis and modelling
- Case studies of hybrid infrastructures and hybrid applications
- BigData and data-driven applications running on cloud and HPC infrastructures
