1st International Workshop on
Energy Efficient SuperComputing (E2SC)
Held in conjunction with SC'13, Denver, Colorado, USA
November 17th-22nd 2013
Workshop in Cooperation with SIGHPC

Call For Papers
Description
-----------
With Exascale systems on the horizon, we will be ushering in an era with
power
and energy consumption as the primary concerns for scalable computing. To
achieve viable high performance, revolutionary methods are required with a
stronger integration among hardware features, system software and
applications.
Equally important are the capabilities for fine-grained spatial and
temporal
measurement and control to facilitate energy efficient computing across
all layers. Current approaches for energy efficient computing rely heavily
on
power efficient hardware in isolation. However, it is pivotal for hardware
to
expose mechanisms for energy efficiency to optimize power and energy
consumption for various workloads and to reduce data motion, a major
component of energy use. At the same time, high fidelity measurement
techniques, typically ignored in data-center level measurement, are of high
importance for scalable and energy efficient inter-play in different layers
of
application, system software and hardware.
This workshop seeks to address the important energy efficiency aspects in
the
HPC community that have not been previously addressed by aspects covered in
the data center or cloud computing communities. Emphasis is given to the
applications view related to significant energy efficiency improvements and
to the required hardware/software stack that must include necessary power
and
performance measurement and analysis harnesses.
Current tools are often limited by hardware capabilities and their lack of
information about the characteristics of a given workload/application. In
the
same manner, hardware techniques, like dynamic voltage frequency scaling,
are
often limited by their granularity (very coarse power management) or by
their
scope (a very limited system view). More rapid realization of energy
savings
will require significant increases in measurement resolution and
optimization
techniques. Moreover, the interplay between performance, power and
reliability add another layer of complexity to this already difficult group
of challenges.
Workshop Focus
--------------
We encourage submissions in the following areas:
- Tools for analyzing power and energy with different granularities and
scope from hardware (e.g. component, core, node, rack, system) or
software views (e.g. threads, tasks, processes, etc) or both.
- Techniques that enable power and energy optimizations at different
scale levels for HPC systems.
- Integration of power aware techniques in applications and throughout
the software stack of HPC systems.
- Characterization of current state-of-the-art HPC system and
applications in terms of Power.
- Analysis of future technologies that will provide improved energy
consumption and management on future HPC systems.
