CALL FOR PAPERS

The 3rd International Workshop on Extreme Scale Parallel Architectures and
Systems (ESPAS 2014)

In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on High-Performance
and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC 2014)

Jan 20, 2014, Vienna, Austria

The 3rd International Workshop on Extreme Scale Parallel Architectures and
Systems (ESPAS) will bring together researchers working on experimental
infrastructures for exascale research and development. Work in this area
includes investigation of experimental components and systems for
extreme-scale, simulation methods and tools targeting extreme scale,
benchmarking, workload generation tools, and other related experimental
systems and methods.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Co-design in both, theory and practice
* Testbed design and evaluation
* Experimental clusters/systems targeting extreme scale
* Workload generation and benchmarking
* Analytical modelling and simulation of systems
* Techniques for extrapolation of experimental results to extreme-scale
* Validation of projection/extrapolation techniques
* Suitability/adaptability of commercial, off-the-shelf components (COTS)
* Cost, energy, performance and resilience
* Methodologies and tools

Important Dates:

* Submission Deadline: 1 November 2013
* Notification of Acceptance: 15 November 2013
* Camera Ready Due: 13 December 2013
