Call For Papers
Second International Workshop on Communication
Architectures at Extreme Scale
(ExaComm 2016)
June 23, 2016, Frankfurt, Germany
to be held in conjunction with
ISC 2016, June 19 - 23, 2016
Frankfurt, Germany
http://web.cse.ohio-state.edu/~subramon/ExaComm16/exacomm16.html
========================================================================
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 2016 will be held in conjunction with the International
Supercomputing (ISC 2016), Frankfurt, Germany, on Thursday, June 23, 2016.
Topics
------
ExaComm 2016 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including
but
not limited to:
* Scalable communication protocols
* High performance networks
* Runtime/middleware designs
* Impact of high performance networks on Deep Learning / Machine
Learning
* Impact of high performance networks on Big Data
* 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.

Title: Optimizing Network Usage on Sequoia and Sierra
Abstract:
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has a long history of
leadership
in large-scale computing. Our current platform, Sequoia, is a 96 rack
BlueGene/Q
system that is currently number three on the Top 500 list. Our next
platform,
Sierra, will be a heterogeneous system delivered by a partnership between
IBM,
NVIDIA and Mellanox. In this talk, we will explore optimizations of
applications
that run on these platforms, with a focus on their networks and the software
that enables their efficient use.

Paper Submission and Registration
---------------------------------
Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference
system.
EasyChair URL for ExaComm'16:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exacomm2016
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 Springer's website. Incorrectly formatted
papers will be excluded from the reviewing process. Submission must be made
as a single PDF file which includes all figures and bibliography.
Submissions are accepted under the following two categories:
Full Paper : 18 pages with all figures and bibliography in the LNCS format
Short Paper : 10 pages with all figures and bibliography in the LNCS format
Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient
background material to make them accessible to the broader community. It
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.
Each research paper will be taken through a comprehensive peer review
process by an internationally recognized group of experts in the field.
Papers will be evaluated along the metrics of a) Quality of Presentation;
b) Novelty / Originality; c) Relation to State of the Art; d) Technical
Strength; e) Significance of Work; and f) Relevance to Workshop. Every
effort will be made to ensure that each paper receives multiple reviews.
The papers accepted to be presented in ExaComm'16 will be published in
a separate post-conference joint workshop proceeding volume, published
online with Springer Publishing. The camera ready versions need to be
submitted via the EasyChair conference management system. The link to
the submission site will be provided soon.
Please contact the Program Chairs for any questions / clarifications
