ABOUT THE JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

The special issue of Concurrency and Computation, Practice and Experience (CCPE) calls for submissions on heterogeneous and unconventional cluster architectures and applications. While this journal is thematically connected to the workshops series on Heterogeneous and Unconventional Cluster Architectures and Applications (HUCAA), this call is open for all contributions.

This special issue gears to gather recent work on heterogeneous and unconventional cluster architectures and applications, which might have an impact on future mainstream 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 special and unconventional applications. In particular we call for GPUs and other accelerators (Intel MIC/Xeon Phi, FPGA) used at cluster level. Even though accelerators are already used pervasively, we still see many unconventional and even disruptive uses of them.

Other examples of unconventional cluster architectures and applications include virtualization, in-memory storage, hard- and software interactions, run-times, databases, and device-to-device communication. We are in particular encouraging work on disruptive approaches, which may show inferior performance today but can already point out their 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. Also, these proposals may rather be reflective of a broader industry trend.

We are seeking new proposals presented from a holistic perspective. Also, proposals may rather be reflective of a broader industry trend. 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.

We are seeking new proposals presented from a holistic perspective. In this regard, one of the aims of the special issue is anticipating the evolution of clusters, instead of just presenting new work carried out in the traditional cluster areas usually addressed in other journals and conferences.

This is an open call for contributions, but also invites (extended) selected papers from the Heterogeneous and Unconventional Cluster Architectures and Applications Workshop (HUCAA 2015 & 2016), collocated with IEEE CLUSTER respectively ICPP. Extended versions of conference papers must contain at least 50% new content.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include any heterogeneous or unconventional cluster architecture or application. Examples include, but are not limited to:

- Clustered GPUs, Xeon Phis or other accelerators
- Runtimes, resource management and scheduling for heterogeneous cluster architectures
- Communication methods for distributed or clustered accelerators
- Energy-aware data movement techniques
- Energy efficiency at the cluster or node level
- New industry and technology trends and their potential impact
- High-performance, data-intensive, and power-aware computing
- Application-specific cluster and datacenter architectures
- Emerging programming paradigms for parallel heterogeneous computing
- Software cluster-level virtualization for consolidation purposes
- Hardware techniques for resource aggregation
- New uses of GPUs, FPGAs, and other specialized hardware
