[hpc-announce] CFP: First International Workshop on Hardware-Software Co-design for High Performance Computing (Co-HPC 2014)

[Shirley Moore]

Call for Papers: First International Workshop on Hardware-Software
Co-Design for High Performance Computing (Co-HPC 2014)

http://codaash.org/co-hpc/

In conjunction with SC’14 and in collaboration with ACM SIGHPC

Monday, November 17, 2014

New Orleans, LA



Hardware-software co-design involves the concurrent design of hardware and
software components of complex computer systems, whereby application
requirements influence architecture design and hardware constraints
influence design of algorithms and software. Concurrent design of hardware
and software has been used for the past two decades for embedded systems in
automobiles, avionics, mobile devices, and other such products, to optimize
for design constraints such as performance, power, and cost. High
performance computing (HPC) is facing a similar challenge as we move
towards the exascale era, with the necessity of designing systems that run
large-scale simulations with high performance while meeting cost and energy
consumption constraints. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together
researchers who are investigating the interrelationships between
algorithms/applications, systems software, and hardware, and who are
developing methodologies and tools for hardware-software co-design for HPC.
We seek submissions that address various aspects of hardware-software
co-design and that demonstrate collaboration between domain scientists,
applied mathematicians, computer scientists, and hardware architects.



Topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited, to the
following:

-       methodologies for characterizing application requirements

-       modeling and prediction of performance and energy consumption

-       co-optimization for multiple objectives (such as performance,
power, resilience)

-       scalable, accurate architectural simulation

-       system provisioning and configuration to match workload
requirements and system constraints

-       mapping of algorithms and applications to heterogeneous systems

-       use of reconfigurable hardware for meeting domain-specific
requirements



Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages in length and must be in IEEE
Proceedings format. Use the templates available at
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
All
submissions should be to the EasyChair submissions website at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cohpc2014.
