International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers
                           ***  ROSS 2013  ***

                    In cooperation with ACM SIGHPC
                    --------------------------------
   Held in conjunction with ICS 2013, Eugene, OR, USA, June 10, 2013

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

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 ICS 2013
conference in Eugene, Oregon, 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
- specialized OSs for Supercomputing
- distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSs and runtime systems for
  Supercomputing
- fault tolerance
- system noise analysis and prevention
- interaction between middleware, runtime system, and the OS
- modeling and performance analysis of runtime systems
- I/O resource management and forwarding
- parallel job startup
- memory management and emerging memory technologies
- the role of OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage
- real-time considerations for Supercomputing

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

Submission deadline:	March 22, 2013 (extended)
Author notification:	April 22, 2013
Final papers due:	May 10, 2013
Workshop date:		June 10, 2013

The ROSS workshop proceedings will be published electronically along
with the ICS conference proceedings via the ACM Digital Library.
Submitted manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM SIG proceedings
alternate format. Extensive documentation can be found at the ACM site
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). The
maximum length is 8 pages. All papers must be in English. Please visit
the workshop website for further instructions and the submission link.

The best papers of the workshop will be considered for inclusion in a
special issue of International Journal of High Performance Computing
Applications (IJHPCA).
