International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers
                           ***  ROSS 2017  ***

                     In cooperation with ACM SIGHPC
                     ------------------------------
Held in conjunction with HPDC 2017, Washington, D.C., USA, June 27, 2017

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

The complexity of node architectures in supercomputers increases as we
cross petaflop milestones on the way towards Exascale. Increasing levels
of parallelism in multi- and many-core chips and emerging heterogeneity of
computational resources coupled with energy and memory constraints force a
reevaluation of our approaches towards operating systems and runtime
environments.

The ROSS workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting at the HPDC 2017
conference in Washington, D.C., USA, focuses on principles and techniques
to design, implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems
for supercomputers and massively parallel machines.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:
-------------------

- OS and runtime system scalability on many-node and multi/many-core
  systems
- management of heterogeneous and reconfigurable compute resources,
  including FPGAs, GPUs, etc.
- distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSes and runtime systems for
  Supercomputing
- system noise analysis and prevention
- interaction between middleware, runtime system, and the OS
- modeling and performance analysis of runtime systems
- OS and runtime considerations for large-volume, high-performance I/O
- memory management and emerging memory technologies
- the role of OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage

SCHEDULE AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
----------------------------------

Submission deadline:	March 31, 2017
Author notification:	May 12, 2017
Final papers due:	June 2, 2017
Workshop date:		June 27, 2017

The ROSS workshop proceedings will be published electronically via the ACM
Digital Library. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM
Master article template sigconf format (please be sure to use the new 2017
version). Extensive documentation can be found at the ACM site
(http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).  The maximum
length is 8 pages. All papers must be in English. Please visit the
workshop website for further instructions and the submission link.
