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

The MPI standard and its implementations have proved surprisingly
scalable. Issues that hampered scalability have been
addressed in the MPI 2.1 ­ 2.2 definition process, and continued into
MPI 3.0 and 3.1. Thus 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 recently released MPI 3.1 standard.
The aim of workshop is to bring together developers and researchers to
present and discuss innovative algorithms and concepts in Message
Passing programming models, in particular related to MPI.
This year¹s theme is on concurrency in MPI and underlying networks and
we especially encourage submissions aligned with this theme.

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 multi-threading and threading requirements from OSes.

* 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. Regular paper
submissions are limited to 10 single-space pages (including figures, tables
and references) using a 10-point on 8.5x11-inch pages (US Letter).
Templates can be found in:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Accepted
regular research papers 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.

* Hot topic abstract: submission of an extended abstract. These submissions
target work-in-progress research on potentially controversial topics in
Message-Passing. Hot topic extended abstracts are limited to 3 single-space
pages: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Accepted
hot topic extended abstracts will be published only on the ExaMPI15
website.

Regular Papers and extended abstracts should be submitted electronically
at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exampi16
