Call for papers:      Workshop on LARGE-SCALE PARALLEL PROCESSING

               to be held in conjunction with
IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium
                     Chicago, Illinois, USA
                      May 27th, 2016

**NEW** SUBMISSION DEADLINE:  January 28th, 2016

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The workshop on Large-Scale Parallel Processing is a forum that 
focuses on computer systems that utilize thousands of processors 
and beyond. Large-scale systems, referred to by some as 
extreme-scale and Ultra-scale, have many important research 
aspects that need detailed examination in order for their 
effective design, deployment, and utilization to take place. 
These include handling the substantial increase in multi-core 
on a chip, the ensuing interconnection hierarchy, communication, 
and synchronization mechanisms. Increasingly this is becoming an 
issue of co-design involving performance, power and reliability 
aspects. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from 
different communities working on challenging problems in this 
area for a dynamic exchange of ideas. Work at early stages of 
development as well as work that has been demonstrated in 
practice is equally welcome.

Of particular interest are papers that identify and analyze novel
ideas rather than providing incremental advances in the following
areas: 

- LARGE-SCALE SYSTEMS : exploiting parallelism at large-scale,
  the coordination of large numbers of processing elements,
  synchronization and communication at large-scale, programming
  models and productivity

- NOVEL ARCHITECTURES AND EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEMS : the design of
  novel systems, the use of processors in memory (PIMS),
  parallelism in emerging technologies, future trends.

- MULTI-CORE : utilization of increased parallelism on a single
  chip (MPP on a chip such as the Cell and GPUs), the possible
  integration of these into large-scale systems, and dealing with
  the resulting hierarchical connectivity.

- MONITORING, ANALYSIS AND MODELING : tools and techniques for 
  gathering performance, power, thermal, reliability, and other 
  data from existing large scale systems, analyzing such data 
  offline or in real time for system tuning, and modeling of 
  similar factors in projected system installations.

- ENERGY MANAGEMENT: Techniques, strategies, and experiences 
  relating to the energy management and optimization of 
  large-scale systems.

- APPLICATIONS : novel algorithmic and application methods,
  experiences in the design and use of applications that scale to
  large-scales, overcoming of limitations, performance analysis
  and insights gained.

- WAREHOUSE COMPUTING: dealing with the issues in advanced 
  datacenters that are increasingly moving from co-locating many 
  servers to having a large number of servers working cohesively, 
  impact of both software and hardware designs and optimizations 
  to achieve best cost-performance efficiency. 

Results of both theoretical and practical significance will be 
considered, as well as work that has demonstrated impact at 
small-scale that will also affect large-scale systems. Work may 
involve algorithms, languages, various types of models, or 
hardware.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers should not exceed eight single-space pages (including 
figures, tables and references) using a 10-point font on 8.5x11
inch pages. Submissions in PostScript or PDF should be made 
using EDAS (www.edas.info). Informal enquiries can be made to 
Kevin.Barker@pnnl.gov. Submissions will be judged on correctness,
originality, technical strength, significance, presentation
quality and appropriateness. Submitted papers should not have
appeared in or under consideration for another venue.

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline:  January 28th  2016 ** Extended **
Notification of acceptance:  February 14th  2016
Camera-Ready Papers due:  February 26th  2016
