[hpc-announce] CfP: ExaMPI14 - Workshop on Exascale MPI at SC14

[Stefano Markidis]

 ExaMPI14: Workshop on  Exascale MPI 2014
https://www.pdc.kth.se/exampi14
New Orleans, LA
November 17, 2014
Held in conjunction with SC14 (http://sc14.supercomputing.org)
Held in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC (http://www.sighpc.org)


The MPI design and its main implementations have proved surprisingly
scalable. MPI has been robust, and been able to evolve, without
fundamentally changing the model and specification. For this and many other
reasons MPI is currently the de-facto standard for HPC systems and
applications. However, there is a need for re-examination of the
message-passing model for extreme-scale systems characterized by
asymptotically decreasing local memory and highly localized communication
networks. Likewise, there is a need for exploring new innovative and
potentially disruptive concepts and algorithms partially to explore other
roads than those taken by the MPI 3.0 standard.

The aim of workshop is to bring together developers and researchers to
present and discuss innovative algorithms and concepts in the Message
Passing programming model and to create a forum for open and potentially
controversial discussions on the future of MPI in the exascale era.


Topics of interest (but are not limited to)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Development of scalable Message Passing collective operations.
* Communication topology mapping interfaces and algorithms.
* Innovative algorithms for scheduling/routing to avoid network congestion.
* Integrated use of structured data layout descriptors.
* One-sided communication models and RDMA-based MPI.
* MPI and threading.
* Interoperability of Message Passing and PGAS models.
* Integration of task-parallel models into Message Passing models.
* Fault tolerance in MPI.
* MPI I/O.


Paper Submission and Publication
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two submission categories:

-   Regular research paper: submission of full paper.
-   Hot topic abstract: submission of an extended abstract. These
submissions target work-in-progress research on potentially controversial
topics in Message Passing.

We are using EasyChair to manage submissions.  The link to submit papers
will be added to the conference home page in the near future. All
manuscripts will be reviewed.

The proceedings (regular research paper) will be archived in both the ACM
Digital Library and IEEE Xplore, by virtue of SIGHPC.


Important Dates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Paper submission: September 5, 2014
* Acceptance notification: September 22, 2014
* Final papers due: October 6, 2014
