deadline extended to 9/18/2015: IEEE CG&A special issue on High Performance Visualization and Analysis





CFP URL: http://www.computer.org/web/computingnow/cgacfp3

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications

IEEE CG&A Special Issue on High Performance Visualization and Analysis

*Extended deadline for final submissions* : 18 September 2015
Publication date: May/June 2016

(Note: the submission web page above is in the process of being updated.
It may continue to show the original submission date of 9/1/2015 for a
short while longer. The new extended deadline is 9/18/2015. Sorry for
any confusion.)

In the 27 years since the groundbreaking report by McCormick, DeFanti,
and Brown that coined the phrase “visualization in scientific
computing,” we have witnessed a dramatic growth in our ability to
collect and generate data. Concurrently, computing technology has
rapidly evolved from single-processor systems to large scale,
multi-petaflop systems comprised of 10Ks to 100Ks processors, with
processors having upwards of 100s of cores per chip. The confluence of
larger HPC systems, data sets of unprecedented size and complexity, and
complex lines of inquiry, gives rise to diverse and difficult research
challenges and opportunities for visualization and analysis that were
only dimly visible at the dawn of the field of scientific visualization.

We define high performance visualization and analysis as those methods
that are, by their design, capable of taking advantage of modern
computational platforms, either in whole or in part. “In whole” refers
to techniques that are capable of effectively using all computational
resources on today’s largest computational platforms. “In part” refers
to techniques that are specifically designed and implemented to take
advantage of new processor or system architectures in one way or another.

The upcoming Special Issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications
will focus on High Performance Visualization and Analysis (HPVA). For
this special issue, we solicit papers presenting original research that
span a diversity of visualization and analysis topics including:

New algorithms and methods for knowledge discovery suitable for use on
modern computational platforms, methods that leverage the extreme-scale
concurrency of these platforms to solve a problem of extreme scale or
complexity.

Examples of new methods for visualization and analysis that are designed
to take advantage of new architectural features, such as deepening
memory hierarchies, extreme-scale concurrency, etc.; methods that
overcome the challenges inherent to modern HPC platforms where, for
example, it is increasingly expensive to move data through the memory
hierarchy and increasingly intractable to save full-resolution data to
persistent storage for subsequent analysis.
Case studies/applications of HPVA methods to solve knowledge discovery
problems in physical or social science, engineering, medicine, etc.
where there is a thematic element of size and/or complexity that is made
tractable through the use of new scalable methods making use of modern
HPC-class platforms.

Submission Guidelines

Articles should be no more than eight magazine pages, where a page is
800 words and a quarter-page image counts as 200 words. Please cite only
the 12 most relevant references, and consider providing technical
background in sidebars for nonexpert readers. Color images are
preferable and should be limited to 10. Visit the CG&A style and length
guidelines at www.computer.org/web/peerreviewmagazines/cga. We also
strongly encourage you to submit multimedia (videos, podcasts, and so
on) to enhance your article. Visit the CG&A supplemental guidelines at
www.computer.org/web/peerreviewmagazines/accga#supplemental.

Papers that do not follow these guidelines will result in publication
delays or administrative rejection. Thank you for your attention.

See http://www.computer.org/web/computingnow/cgacfp3 for additional
information.

ESPM2@SC15: Deadline Extended to September 7th. First International Workshop on Extreme Scale Programming Models and Middleware





First International Workshop on Extreme Scale Programming Models and Middleware
Held in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC. 

Next generation architectures and systems being deployed are characterized by high concurrency, low memory per-core, and multi-levels of hierarchy and heterogeneity. These characteristics bring out new challenges in energy efficiency, fault-tolerance and scalability. It is commonly believed that software has the biggest share of the responsibility to tackle these challenges. In other words, this responsibility is delegated to the next generation programming models and their associated middleware/runtimes. This workshop focuses on different aspects of programming models such as Task-based parallelism (X10, OCR, Habanero, Legion, Charm++, HPX), PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, etc.), Directive-based languages (OpenMP, OpenACC), Accelerator programming (CUDA, OpenCL), Hybrid MPI+X, etc. It also focuses on their associated middleware (unified runtimes, interoperability for hybrid programming, tight integration of MPI+X, support for accelerators) for next generation systems and architectures. The objective of ESPM2 workshop is to serve as a forum that brings together researchers from academia and industry to share knowledge and their experience, on working in the areas of programming models, runtime systems, compilation and languages, and application developers.

The First ESPM2 workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting with the Supercomputing (SC'2015) conference in Austin, Texas, will serve as an event for discussion in the areas of programming models and runtimes, language design, compilers, and application development. It will provide a timely meeting for scientists and engineers to present the latest ideas and findings in these rapidly evolving areas. The workshop will particularly focus on innovative approaches in the areas of emerging programming models for large-scale parallel systems and many-core architectures. Topics of interest for the ESPM2 workshop include (but are not limited to):
  • New programming models, languages and constructs for exploiting high concurrency and heterogeneity
  • Experience with and improvements for existing parallel languages and run-time environments such as:
             o  MPI
             o   PGAS (UPC, OpenSHMEM, Chapel, CAF...)
             o   Directive-based programming (OpenMP, OpenACC..)
             o   Asynchronous Task-based models (X10, OCR, Habanero, Legion, Charm++, HPX ) and
             o   Hybrid MPI+X models
  • Parallel compilers, programming tools, and environments
  • Software and system support for extreme scalability including fault tolerance
  • Programming environments for heterogeneous multi-core systems and accelerators such as ARM, GPUs, FPGAs, MICs and DSPs

Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community.

Important Dates
Technical paper submission deadline:   September 7th 2015 (11:59 PM, EST) (EXTENDED)

Special Issue on Sustainable HPC on Open Journal on Cloud Computing





********************************
Open Journal of Cloud Computing (http://www.ronpub.com/journals/ojcc)
********************************

=========================== Call for Papers ==========================================
Special Issue: "Sustainable High Performance Computing (SHPC-2015)"
======================================================================================

Note: Publication fees will be waived for accepted papers submitted before September 10, 2015.


** AIMS:
Sustainable high performance computing put dependable and autonomic computing in context. Without self-healing, self-configuration and self-monitoring, a high performance computing application will not be able to complete in extreme scales. Without dependability, high performance computing applications are to suffer rapidly decreasing MTBF (mean time between failures) as we expand the size of computing clusters. Security is another dimension that mission critical high performance applications must take into account, or unintended consequences may cause irreparable harms.
   
While the above discussion made sense at the conceptual level, current research communities are narrowly divided into specific subareas.  In fact, all these topics concern how to handle volatile resources in terms of programming, monitoring, configuration, load distribution/optimization and management. This Special Issue of OJCC aims to bring together contributions from all relevant areas for the benefit of sustainable high performance computing -- the non-lethal large scale typical distributed computing applications. Unlike traditional publications that favor successful novel technologies, this Special Issue of OJCC encourages submissions of credible in-depth stories that may be success or failure in dependable computing, autonomic computing, information security and sustainable high performance computing efforts. In fact, we can learn more from failures than successes. In particular, data intensive distributed computing efforts are highly encouraged since they are more difficult to secure, to practice dependability and be made autonomic-ally computable.  

This Special Issue provides a platform for academic architecture researchers, industry practitioners and government agencies to exchange evolving distributed mission critical computing requirements, ideas and preliminary results. As computational services are to become integral parts of human societies, performance, dependability, sustainability and security of these services directly impact future social and economic prosperity. This Special Issue will be a checkpoint of dependable computing, autonomic computing and sustainable HPC efforts. The results may prove to be of fundamentally importance towards the building of 21st century software engineering principles.


** TOPICS:
This special issue welcomes regular research papers, short communications, reviews and visionary papers in the fields cloud and ubiquitous computing, including but not limited to the following topics:

- Theoretical foundation of programming volatile resources
- Theoretical architecture concepts for volatile resources
- Application scalability analysis using volatile resources
- Investigative reports on delivered performance for computation intensive and data intensive applications with failure
- Investigative results on delivered cloud performances for computation intensive and data intensive applications
- Theoretical models and experiences in non-conventional HPC programming paradigms
- Experiences in using auction-based HPC cloud resources
- Experiences in virtualized GPU for HPC applications
- Experiences in virtualized network for HPC applications
- Innovative failure prevention and recovery methods
- HPC security considerations using cloud resources
