Call for Paper

Fourth ACM International Workshop on Many-core Embedded Systems (MES)

in conjunction with the 43^rd International symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA-2016)

June 19, 2016, Seoul, Korea

http://mes.utu.fi/index.html

Special Issue: Elsevier's Microprocessors and Microsystems Journal (MICPRO)

General Scope

Many-core embedded systems (MES) are moving towards the integration of hundreds of cores on a single chip and hold the promise of increasing performance through parallelism. As the number of cores integrated into a chip increases, the on-chip communication becomes a power and performance bottleneck in future MESs. On-chip network has been proposed as the most viable solution to meet the performance and design productivity requirements of the complex on-chip communication infrastructure. NoCs provide an infrastructure for better modularity, scalability, fault-tolerance, and higher bandwidth compared to traditional infrastructures. On the other hand, developing applications using the full power of MES requires software developers to transition from writing serial programs to writing parallel programs. On top of that, contemporary Operating Systems (OS) have been designed to run on a small number of reliable cores and are not able to scale up to hundreds of cores. Therefore, designing scalable and fault-tolerant OSs will be a tremendous challenge in future MESs. 
As neuromorphic and mixed-signal architectures are emerging as an alternative solution beyond the conventional digital von Neumann machines for complex applications, we would like to highlight such emerging architectures in this workshop. In addition, we would like to emphasize on energy efficient (real-time) data processing in the realm of Big data and IoT applications through MESs. 
The goal of this workshop is to bring together the researchers from academia and the experts from industry to present and discuss innovative ideas and solutions in the design, modeling, prototyping, programming, and implementation of MES. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Networks/Systems-on-Chip
• Neuromorphic Architectures
• Applications mapping
• (Embedded) OS
• Real-time and mixed-criticality
• 3D Stacked Architectures
• Reliability issues
• Physical design
• Synthesis, verification, debug & test
• Performance and power issues
• Reconfigurability aspects
• FPGA implementation
• Parallel programming models and scalable software
• Compiler technologies
• Many-core as accelerators
• Heterogeneity challenges
• Big data and IoT applications
• Data-centers and supercomputers
• Dynamic power management and energy harvesting

Submissions should not exceed 8 pages, including tables and figures, and must be formatted in accordance to the ACM two column style. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking whereby, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the work.  

Proceeding and Special Issue:

The accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library (confirmed).

Selected papers will be considered for the special issue of Elsevier's Microprocessors and Microsystems (confirmed).

CALL FOR PAPERS & PARTICIPATION

Special Session on High Performance Computing for Application Benchmarking and Optimization (HPBench 2016)

As part of

The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2016)

http://hpcs2016.cisedu.info/

July 18 – July 22, 2016
The University of Innsbruck
Innsbruck, Austria

Submission Deadline: March 07, 2016
Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters


SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES:

Benchmarks are used to quantify the ability of computers to solve problems effectively. Widely used benchmarks enable comparison between different computers, yet there are also cases where performance on many benchmarks is needed to assess performance of a particular application without running that particular application. Community agreement on a good choice of candidate benchmarks to fully evaluate parallel and distributed systems is lacking.

Many algorithms have been proposed and appear in the state of the art of many application domains such as image processing, cryptography, pattern recognition, signal processing, document analysis, etc… In order to quantify the performance and the benefits of a new algorithms, it is necessary to benchmark them and compare them to older algorithms.  The computer architecture on which the benchmark is run is also important since it may favor some kinds of algorithms over other algorithms.

In most cases, the benchmark problem size is really important. One wants to understand what computational resources will effectively solve the problem quickly and correctly for different problem sizes.

This special session focuses on research works aimed at benchmarking parallel and distributed systems for solving real world problems.  Furthermore, benchmarking related contributions concerning the definition of new open platforms, studies on the distribution of computation tasks and applications in different fields in computer science or from other domains are sought.



The HPBench topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

-        Open Platforms for Parallel and Distributed Application Benchmarking and Optimization

-        Benchmarking on the Cloud, Clusters, Supercomputers

-        Benchmarking Performance of I/O

-        Benchmarking Web Services

-        Virtualization for Distributed Benchmarking

-        Data Distribution for Benchmarking

-        Performance of Benchmarking Applications  (Eg: NAS parallel benchmarks)

-        Scalability of Parallel Applications on Parallel and Distributed Systems

-        Benchmarking Scientific and Business Parallel Applications

-        Performance Measurements, Monitoring, Modeling and Simulation

-        Applications (not limited to): image processing, pattern recognition, cryptography, biometrics, solution of differential equations, etc.

=============================================================

                           CALL FOR PANELS

=============================================================

                   We solicit panel proposals for 

  ACM/IEEE International Conference for High Performance Computing,

               Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC16)

=============================================================

Panels bring a rare opportunity for mutual engagement of community leaders and broad mainstream contributors in a face-to-face exchange through audience participation and questioning. Surprises are the norm at panels, which makes for exciting and energetic hour-and-a-half sessions. Panels explore topics in-depth by capturing the opinions of a wide-range of people active in the relevant fields. Panels represent state of the art opinions, and can be augmented with social media technologies including Twitter, LinkedIn, and video feeds – even real-time audience polling. Please plan on actively participating in one or more of the panel offerings at SC16. We look forward to your help, through your participation, in making panels at SC16 a major success and lots of fun.
