                            Call For Papers

            First International Workshop on Communication
                    Architectures at Extreme Scale
                            (ExaComm 2015)

                  July 16, 2015, Frankfurt, Germany

                   to be held in conjunction with
                    ISC 2015, July 12 - 16, 2015

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


Extreme Scale computing is marked by multiple-levels of hierarchy and
heterogeneity ranging from the compute units to storage devices to the
network
interconnects. Owing to the plethora of heterogeneous communication paths
with
different cost models expected to be present in extreme scale systems, data
movement is seen as the soul of different challenges for exascale computing.
On the other hand, advances in networking technologies such as NoCs (like
NVLink and Storm Lake), RDMA enabled networks and the like are constantly
pushing the envelope of research in the field of novel communication and
computing architectures for extreme scale computing. The goal of this
workshop
is to bring together researchers and software/hardware designers from both
academy and industry who are involved in creating network-based computing
solutions for extreme scale architectures, to share their experiences and to
learn the opportunities and challenges in designing next-generation HPC
systems and applications.

ExaComm 2015 will be held in conjunction with the International
Supercomputing
(ISC 2015), Frankfurt, Germany, on Thursday, July 16th, 2015.


Topics
------

ExaComm 2015 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including
but
not limited to:

    * Scalable communication protocols
    * High performance networks
    * Runtime/middleware designs
    * Novel hardware/software co-design
    * High performance communication solutions for accelerator based
computing
    * Power-aware techniques and designs
    * Performance evaluations
    * Quality of Service (QoS)
    * Resource virtualization and SR-IOV

Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient
background material to make them accessible to the broader community.

Paper Submission, Registration, and Publication
-----------------------------------------------

Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference
system.

Easychair URL for ExaComm'15:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exacomm2015

We request the authors to use the LNCS style (single column format) using
either the LaTeX document class or Word template. For details on the author
guidelines, please refer to Springerâs website. Incorrectly formatted papers
will be excluded from the reviewing process.

Page Limit: 10 pages without bibliography

Papers should not be submitted in parallel to any other conference or
journal.

At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must register as a
participant of the workshop and present the paper at the workshop.

The best papers of ExaComm-2015 will be included in a special issue of the
Journal of Supercomputing (Pending acceptance).
