Important Dates:February 16, 2016: Submissions open
August 15, 2016: Submissions deadline
September 1, 2016: Notifications sent

---

A new format for 2016!
SC16’s Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase Program provides a forum for the year’s most instrumental movies in HPC. This year, there will be both a live display throughout the conference so that attendees can experience and enjoy the latest in science and engineering HPC results expressed through state-of-the-art visualization technologies, and a session at SC16 dedicated to the best of the submissions.
Selected entries will be displayed live in a museum/art gallery format and six finalists will compete for the Best Visualization Award, with each finalist presenting his or her movie in a 15-minute presentation.
Movies are judged based on how their movie illuminates science, by the quality of the movie, and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie.
The six finalist submissions will appear as short papers on the SC16 webpage and archive.
Review and selection process:
Submissions need to include a movie (up to 250MB in size) and a short paper (up to 4 pages including references). The short paper should describe the scientific story conveyed by the movie, how the visualization helps scientific discovery, and the “state-of-the-practice” information (ieeevis.org)information behind making the movie.
Each submission will be peer reviewed by the Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase Committee. Criteria for review include:

• How effective is the visual communication of the data?
• How relevant to the HPC community is the visualization?
• What is the impact of the science story and how well is it told?
• What visualization techniques were necessary to create the movie?

Finally, submissions should support SC16’s overall theme “HPC matters.”

Call for Participation: Second Workshop on HPC Power Management

[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.]

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

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

The Second Workshop on HPC Power Management: Knowledge Discovery

Thursday, August 25, 2016 9:00 am - 5:30 pm 

Baltimore, Maryland

http://hpm.ornl.gov

*The workshop agenda has been posted.

*A keynote talk titled “FITARA Data Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI) - How It Applies to HPC” by W. Jake Wooley, Program Manager, DOE.

*9 invited talks from DOE labs, industry, and academia.

*A vendor panel consisting of representatives from HP, Cray, IBM, Intel, and Allinea.

*There is no registration fee. However, registration is required. For details, please check the workshop website.

------------------- 

This workshop will address the issues and potential solutions for power capacity planning and management in an HPC facility. Two main  issues are managing stranded and trapped capacity. Stranded and trapped capacity issues often manifest when facility managers are given highly inaccurate power budget estimations. Power and other physical resources are allocated based on these estimations, which results in overprovisioning and underutilization of these resources. Currently many HPC users are not concerned about power usage effectiveness, but that is certain to change in the near future as the HPC community gears up to meet the exa-scale challenge. Power consumption and management and related infrastructure requirements are considered to be some of the main hurdles to overcome in order to achieve sustained exa-scale operations on future computing platforms and key applications.

This workshop will be a multi-year series to address different aspects of power capacity management and will include topics such as energy efficient hardware design, green programming models, energy-aware job scheduling, monitoring, modeling, evaluation etc.

For 2016, the theme will be "knowledge discovery" for all stake holders: procurement managers, facilities and infrastructure personnel, IT personnel, and end users. Today there is a good amount of monitoring data available to HPC centers. However, there is a lack of best practices on the management and analysis of this data. This workshop will provide a forum for the HPC community to exchange field experiences and discuss the guidelines for HPC power management. It will include a keynote talk, nine invited talks, and a panel discussion.

There is no registration fee for the workshop. However, due to limited space, registration is required. For details, please check the workshop website.

Best Regards,

Neena Imam, Workshop co-chair, ORNL

Chung-Hsing Hsu, Workshop co-chair, ORNL

[RE-HPC'16 --- Deadline Extended to Aug. 15]: First Int'l Workshop on Resilience and/or Energy-aware techniques for High-Performance Computing

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. This message is

announcements, information on how to unsubscribe is available at the
bottom of this email.]

CALL FOR PAPERS

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

First International Workshop on Resilience and/or Energy-aware

techniques for High-Performance Computing (RE-HPC)

In conjunction with the International Green and Sustainable 

Computing Conference (IGSC), 2016. 

November 7-9, Hangzhou, China. 

Website: http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/~abenoit/RE-HPC/

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

NEWS: Selected papers presented at the workshop will be invited for a special issue in the Elsevier Journal Sustainable Computing: Informatics and Systems (SUSCOM).

Resilience and energy consumption have become two important concerns for high-performance computing (HPC) systems. With the increasing core count and technology miniaturization, today's large computing platforms (datacenters, clusters, supercomputers, etc.) are increasingly prone to failures. Faults are becoming norm rather than exception. Besides the classical fail-stop errors (such as hardware failures), soft errors (such as SDCs for silent data corruptions) constitute another threat that can no longer be ignored by the HPCcommunity. Another concern is energy. Presently, large computing centers are among the largest consumers of energy, hence measures must be taken to reduce energy consumption. Energy is needed not only to power the individual cores but also to provide cooling for the system. In today's datacenters, a large proportion of energy is spent on cooling and thermal-related activities. It is anticipated that the power dissipated to perform communications and I/O transfers will also make up a much larger share of the overall power consumption. The relative cost of communication is expected to increase dramatically, both in terms of latency/overhead and of consumed energy. Re-designing algorithms for HPC systems to ensure resilience and to reduce energy consumption will be crucial to achieving sustained performance. The link between resilience and energy must also be carefully tackled. Better resilience often requires redundancy (replication and/or checkpointing, rollback and recovery), which consumes extra energy. Hot cores may lead to less resilient computing or increase the probability of individual failures. On the other hand, reducing the energy consumption via voltage/frequency scaling techniques will increase the application running time, and hence the expected number of failures during execution. 

This workshop will encompass a broad range of topics related to resilience and energy efficiency for HPC. Its objective is to facilitate exchange of valuable information and ideas among researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Fault-tolerant algorithms, tools, and protocols

- Checkpointing, replication, and recovery techniques

- Detection and prediction of soft errors and SDCs

- System reliability, testing, and verification

- Resilience models, algorithms, and simulations

- Energy-efficient scheduling and resource management

- Power-aware runtime systems

- Energy-efficient I/O, storage, and networking

- Thermal behavior modeling, control and management

- Cooling-aware optimizations and evaluations

- Tradeoffs between performance, reliability, energy and temperature

Important Dates: 

Paper Submission:   August 15, 2016

Author Notification: September 15, 2016

Camera-ready Paper: October 1, 2016

Author Information:

Full papers following the guidelines of the International Green and Sustainable Computing (IGSC) Conference (http://igsc.eecs.wsu.edu/cfp_16) are sought. Authors should select Resilience and/or Energy-aware techniques for High-Performance Computing (RE-HPC'16) when submitting their papers on easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rehpc16). All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed and evaluated on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the scope of the workshop. Papers presented at the workshop will be published in the official conference proceedings (through IEEE Digital Library) contingent on two conditions: (1) One author of each accepted paper must register for the conference at the time of the submission of the final manuscript and (2) One of the authors must appear to present the paper at the workshop. Please note that each accepted workshop paper will require a full IGSC registration at the IEEE member or at the non-member rate (NOT student rate).

Deadline extension - 9th IEEE/ACM UCC - Utility and Cloud Computing

[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.]
9th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2016)
December 6-9, 2016 - Tongji University - Shanghai, China - Call for Papers
Website: http://computing.derby.ac.uk/ucc2016/

Context and Scope:

Cloud Computing delivers computational resources ondemand as services
that are commoditized and delivered comfortably analogous to traditional
utilities such as electricity, gas, water and telephony. Cloud service
offerings for compute, storage and communication resources as well as
for hosted software and data are growing at a tremendous rate. It is
essential to understand how to effectively transform these services into
Utilities that provide value to both users and providers. There is also
increasing interest from commercial providers to offer business and
revenue models around the services they offer. Understanding how these
models could be used to provide utility for users, intermediary brokers
(aggregators) and providers is also an area of active research. UCC is
the premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas related to Cloud
Computing as a Utility and provides an international forum for leading
researchers and practitioners in this important and growing field. UCC
2016, to be held in Shanghai, reflects the need to bring academics and
industrial researchers together to discuss how to improve existing
services and how to bring new applications into the cloud.

This will be the 9th UCC in a successful conference series of
community-driven events. Previous events were held in Shanghai, China

Introduction
===============

Cloud computing is a novel computing paradigm which has changed the way enterprise or INTERNET computing used to be seen. Cloud Computing as a term was first coined by John McArthy of IBM in 1960s where he envisaged that “computing” power will be used as an utility one day.  Today, for almost all the sectors in the world, cloud computing is synonym to their IT implementations. Today, public cloud market share is expected to reach $240bn by the end of year 2016. The success story of cloud computing as a technology is credited to the long term efforts of computing research community across the globe. SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) are the three major cloud product sectors. Each one of these product sectors have their effects and reach to various industries. If forecasts are to be believed than more than two third of all the enterprises across the globe will be entirely run in cloud by 2026. These enthusiastic figures have led to huge fund generation for research and development in cloud computing and related technologies. University researchers, research labs in industry and scholars across the globe have recreated the whole computing world into a new cloud enabled world. This has been only possible by coordinated efforts into this direction. Today, almost every university across the globe having computer science curriculum have incorporated cloud computing and its related technologies into their curriculum. Additionally, there are extensive efforts on innovation and technology creation in the direction of cloud computing.  These efforts are much visible in the reputed cloud computing research platforms like International conferences and journals.

We, the editors of the book have also started contributing in this niche computing area since its inception. Prof. Rajkumar Buyya is one of the most cited and visible researcher in the area with more than 48,900 citations in the area of cloud computing and distributed systems (http://www.buyya.com/). He has been one of the pioneers in the area to bring glory to the field by contributing to multiple facets of development of cloud computing technologies and their implementations. Additionally, Prof. Buyya has served as the foundation editor-in-chief of the “IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing (TCC)”. The other two editors of the book also have strong contributions in the area of resource allocation and cloud computing security as well as have highly cited research work. One of their works related to cloud computing resource allocation has been among the most cited articles on Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems (FGCS).

We as editors, feel that there is a significant need to systematically collect and present quality research findings in the area of recent advances in cloud computing area to give wide benefit to a huge community of researchers, educators, practitioners and industries. Even though there are large numbers of journals and conferences available in the area to showcase ones research contribution in the area of cloud computing. However, there is a lack of comprehensive and in-depth tutored analysis on many of the research areas in the field of cloud computing.  The proposed book on “Research Advances in Cloud Computing” will be an edited volume of having chapters from various top trends, designs, implementations, outcomes and directions in the various areas of cloud computing. We have planned the book in the form of around 16 to 18 chapters each expected to be 20 to 25 pages dedicated to various facets of cloud computing.

Book Type
===========

Target Group

This book will provide a comprehensive aid to prospective researchers and scholars who are considering working in this area. Being an emerging area, cloud computing and related technology have been become a matter of extreme interest of budding researchers in the area. This book is aimed to provide a complete sketch towards all the research areas, recent works and open research problems in cloud computing. Collecting and streamlining all these works in a single book requires large collaborative efforts from the community across the globe. This has also been envisaged that this book will continue to become a source of large interest for the time to come and would require adaptations time to time.
