[hpc-announce] ExaMPI14 deadline extension for hot topic extended abstracts - 20 Sept 2014

[Stefano Markidis]

The deadline for the ExaMPI14 at SC14 hot topic extended abstracts has been
extended to Sept 20th 2014.

Submissions of hot topic extended abstracts target work-in-progress
research on potentially controversial topics in Message Passing. Hot topic
extended abstracts are limited to 3 pages in the IEEE format, see:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.ht
<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html>ml
and should be submitted electronically at:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exampi14
<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exampi14>

Following is the updated CfP.

*****************************************************
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.

Regular Papers and extended abstracts should be submitted electronically
at: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exampi14
<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exampi14>

Regular paper submissions are limited to 10 pages in the IEEE format, see:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.ht
<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html>
ml

The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not
include references, for which there is no page limit.

Hot topic extended abstracts are limited to 3 pages in the IEEE format,
see:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.ht
<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html>
ml

The 3-page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not
include references, for which there is no page limit.

Accepted regular research paper will be archived in both the ACM Digital
Library and IEEE Xplore, by virtue of SIGHPC.  Authors of accepted papers
will be required to sign the ACM copyright form. Instructions for preparing
regular papers for the proceedings will be emailed to authors of accepted
papers.

Important Dates

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Regular paper submission: September 5, 2014

* Hot topic extended abstracts submission: September 20, 2014 (extended)

* Acceptance notification of regular paper: September 22, 2014

* Acceptance notification of hot topic extended abstracts: September 29,
2014

* Final regular papers due: October 6, 2014
