Call for Paper IEEE ScalCom 2016

18-21 July 2016, Toulouse France
http://scalcom2016.sciencesconf.org/

**** New EXTENDED paper submission HARD deadline: APRIL 8th, 2016 ****

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parallel and distributed computing have undergone impressive change over recent
years. The whole hardware industry shifted to both multicore and mobile
platforms expanding the arena of communicating devices to an unprecedented
scale. Communication networks  have known great developments and many new
applications in the same time. Scalability has rapidly become one of the central
aspect of the disciplines. It is of paramount importance to review and assess
these new developments in comparison with recent research achievements in the
well-established areas of scalable computing and communications, from industry
and the scientific community.
The 16th IEEE International Conference on Scalable Computing and Communications
(ScalCom 2016) will provide a forum for the presentation of these and other issues
through original research presentations and will facilitate the exchange of
knowledge and new ideas at the highest technical level.

We invite submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully developed
results or on-going foundational and applied work relating to all aspects of
scalable computing and communications. The program committee will interpret it
very broadly; everything from engineering principles to practical experiences on
different levels of a parallel and distributed system. We particularly encourage
submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development
communities.

Call For Papers

International Workshop on Architecture-Aware Simulation and Computing
(AASC 2016)

http://hpcs2016.cisedu.info/2-conference/workshops---hpcs2016/workshop17-aa
sc

WHEN:     July 18-22, 2016,
WHERE:    The University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria
DEADLINE: April 21, 2016 (anywhere on earth)

Will take place during The International Conference on High Performance
Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2016) (http://hpcs2016.cisedu.info/)
===========================================================================
==


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
-------------------------

To keep pace with the performance increase predicted by Moore's Law and to
cope
with energy efficiency requirements, homogeneous/heterogeneous processor
aggregates have been extensively adopted both at the High Performance
Computing
(HPC) and at the embedded system domains.

Realizing the full potential of such systems has become increasingly
challenging
due to: limited parallelization opportunities; reduced memory throughput
and
complex cache hierarchies; limited communication bandwidth; and thermal,
power
and energy constraints. At the same time, because the prevailing HPC and
embedded computing architectures, integrate different types of
co-processors and
accelerator components (e.g., Intel Xeon Phi, GPUs, FPGAs, reconfigurable
SoCs,
etc.), has made the task of developing efficient HPC applications
challenging.

It is widely recognized that next generation HPC and embedded systems can
only
benefit from the hardware's full potential if both processor and
architecture
features are taken into account at all development stages - from the early
algorithmic design to the final implementation stage.

The AASC workshop strives to address all aspects related to these issues,
including, but not limited to:

- Hardware-aware compute/memory-intensive simulations of real-world
problems
  in computational science and engineering domains (e.g., applications in
  electrical, mechanical, physics, geological, biological, or medical
  engineering).

- Architecture-aware approaches for large-scale parallel computing,
including
  scheduling, load-balancing and scalability studies.

- Architecture-aware parallelization on HPC platforms, including multi- and
  many-core architectures comprising co-processor/accelerator components
(e.g.,
  Intel Xeon Phi, GPUs, FPGAs, etc.).

- Architecture-aware approaches for energy-efficient implementations of
HPC or
  embedded applications (e.g., ARM, mobile GPUs, reconfigurable SoCs,
etc.).

- Programming models and tool support for parallel heterogeneous platforms
  (e.g., CUDA, OpenCL, OpenACC, etc.).

- Software engineering, code optimization, and code generation strategies
for
  parallel systems with multi-/many-core processors.

- Performance and memory optimization tools and techniques (including cache
  optimization, data reuse, data streaming, etc.) for parallel systems with
  multi-core processors.

Please accept our apologies if you got multiple copies of this CFP.

===================================================================
Call for papers - DEADLINE EXTENDED

2nd International Workshop on Performance Modeling:
Methods and Applications (PMMA16)

at ISC High Performance 2016, Frankfurt, Germany, June 23, 2016.

http://blogs.fau.de/hager/bofs/isc16-workshop

EXTENDED DEADLINE (firm): April 4, 2016

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


Workshop Scope

Understanding the performance characteristics of computer programs has
been the subject of intense research over several decades. The growing
heterogeneity, parallelism, and general complexity of computer
architectures have made this venture more and more
challenging. Numerous approaches provide insights into different
aspects of performance; they range from resource-based analytical
modeling of single loops to complex statistical models or machine
learning concepts that deal with whole groups of full applications in
production environments. In recent years, the energy consumption
aspects of computing have received attention due to rising
infrastructure costs and operational boundary conditions, adding even
more complexity to the model-building process.

This workshop wants to bring together experts in performance modeling

Objectives of the Workshop
=====================
Agent-Based Simulation Models are an increasingly popular tool for research and
management in many fields such as ecology, economics, sociology, etc..
In some fields, such as social sciences, these models are seen as a
key instrument to the generative approach, essential for understanding complex social
phenomena.
But also in policy-making, biology, military simulations, control of
mobile robots and economics, the relevance and effectiveness of Agent-Based
Simulation Models is recently recognized.
Computer science community has responded to the need for platforms
that can help the development and testing of new models in each specific field by
providing tools, libraries and frameworks that speed up and make massive simulations       possible.The key objective of this Third Workshop on Parallel and Distributed
Agent-Based Simulations is to bring  together the researchers that are interested
in getting more performances from their simulations, by using synchronized, many-core
simulations (e.g., GPUs), strongly coupled, parallel simulations (e.g. MPI) and
loosely coupled, distributed simulations (distributed heterogeneous setting).
Several frameworks have been recently developed and are active in this field.
They range from the GPU-Manycore approach, to Parallel, to Distributed
simulation environments. In the first category, you can find FLAME GPU, that
allows also non GPU specialists to harness the GPUs performance for real time simulation and visualization. For tightly-coupled, large computing clusters and supercomputers
a very popular framework is Repast for High Performance Computing (REPAST-HPC),
a C++ based modeling system. On the distributed side, recent work on
Distributed Mason, allows non specialists to use heterogeneous hardware and
software in local area networks for enlarging the size and speeding up the
simulation of complex Agent-Based models.

Topics of interest
=============
- Frameworks for parallel/distributed ABSs.
- Case studies of ABSs in parallel/distributed settings, with an emphasis on the technical implementation, architectural choices and their impact on performances.
- Benchmark parallel/distributed ABSs.
- Open benchmark models contributing towards OpenAB initiative (www.openab.org).
- Debugging parallel/distributed ABSs.
- Formal methods and algorithms for ABSs in parallel/distributed models.
- Load Balancing algorithms, techniques and frameworks.
- Management and deployment of parallel/distributed ABSs.
- Visualization of parallel/distributed ABSs.

Paper submission
==============
The papers will be presented in the regular format (10 pages LNCS format)
and will be reviewed, anonymously by at least 3 reviewers of the Program Committee.
Acceptance will depend upon scientific value, originality and relevance to the Workshop theme. Euro-Par Workshops Proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture
Notes for Computer Science series after the Workshops. Submissions and
reviewing will be through EasyChair via https://europar2016.inria.fr.

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

Cloud is a virtual computing resource, which realizes self-maintenance and management, usually in the form of some large server cluster, including computing servers, storage servers, bandwidth resources, etc. Cloud computing is the fusion and development of grid computing, distributed computing, parallel computing, utility computing, network storage technologies, virtualization, load balancing and other traditional computer technologies and network technology. Virtualization, dynamicity and scalability, the distributed mass data storage and management, as well as flexible service, are the main technologies of cloud computing. There are still many challenges in cloud systems and platform, cloud computing, database, virtualization, reuse and elasticity problems.

Big data overall architecture consists of three layers: data storage, data processing and data analysis. Data storage layer stores complex type and mass data, data processing layer realizes real-time processing of massive data, and only through data analysis layer, smart, in-depth and valuable information are got. When talking about big data, one thinks first to the 4V characteristics of big data, namely Volumes, Variety, Velocity, and Veracity.

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. This message is
sent to . If you'd like to opt out of these
announcements, information on how to unsubscribe is available at the
bottom of this email.]

The 1st ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Programming Heterogeneous Computing Systems

To be held in Santa Barbara, California, USA, June 13, 2016, In conjunction with PLDI 2016
http://conf.researchr.org/track/pldi-2016/WPHCS-2016-papers
Heterogeneous computing systems are emerging as one of the most common sense and challenging features of the cutting-edge parallel and high performance environments. The heterogeneity of computing tasks is boosting significantly from different levels of parallelism. However, traditional parallel programming models, memory hierarchies, algorithms, tools, designed for or homogeneous or symmetric multiprocessors, will be able to achieve limited performance improvement and productivity in next generation highly diverse heterogeneous computing systems. Novel ideas, innovative algorithms, and programming paradigms and specialized software tools should be considered to efficiently utilize the hardware resources on the new heterogeneous architectures (e.g., GPU, FPGA). 
The workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers to present and discuss innovative ideas and solutions in the design, modeling, prototyping, programming, and experience of heterogeneous architectures and Systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 Programming paradigms and middleware for heterogeneous platforms (hybrid clusters, Grids or Clouds)
 Programming models for heterogeneous systems, including manycores and hardware accelerators (FPGAs, GPUs, etc.)
 Programming languages, libraries, runtime support and interfaces for diverse heterogeneous programming models (CUDA, OpenCL, etc.)
 Programming with memory hierarchies and novel explicit memory systems (NVRAM, STT-RAM,3D Memory, etc.)
 Software tooling (e.g., testing, debugging, tuning, and analysis tools) for programs on heterogeneous platforms.
 Applications and case studies on heterogeneous computing systems, such as neural networks, deep learning, neuromorphic engineering, scientific computing, and computational biology data-intensive applications.
 Fault tolerance of heterogeneous computations on heterogeneous platforms

Authors are encouraged to submit original, unpublished research or overviews on programming models, algorithms and tools on heterogeneous platforms, namely addressing the topics referred above.
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed a total of 6 pages in ACM SIGPLAN proceedings style, including figures, tables, and references.
