*Call for Papers:*

As HPC applications scale to large supercomputing systems, their
communication and synchronization need to be optimized in order to deliver
high performance. In order to achieve this, capabilities of modern network
interconnect and parallel runtime systems need to be advanced and the
existing ones to be leveraged optimally. The workshop will bring together
researchers and developers to present and discuss work on optimizing
communication and synchronization in HPC applications. This includes
state-of-the-art methodological and algorithmic advances in topology-aware
or topology-oblivious blocking and non-blocking collective algorithms,
offloading of communication to network interface cards, topology aware
process mappings for minimizing communication overhead on different network
topologies such as dragonfly, high-dimensional torus networks, fat trees,
optimizations for persistent communication patterns, studies and solutions
for inter-job network interference, overlapping of communication with
computation, optimizing communication overhead in the presence of process
imbalance, GPU-GPU and GPU-CPU communication. The workshop also aims at
bringing researchers together to foster discussion, collaboration and ideas
for optimizing communication and synchronization that drive design of
future peta/exa-scale systems and of HPC applications. In addition, we
expect that researchers and others looking for research directions in this
area will get up-to-date with the state of the art so that they can drive
their research in a manner that will impact the future of communication
methods in high performance computing.

to):*

Blocking and non-blocking collective operations

*Paper Submission Guidelines:*

Papers must follow the ACM format (see
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.acm.org_sigs_publications_proceedings-2Dtemplates&d=CwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=eqdxazXVCYcM45OVj4jpM6rby84q_ygc6Vk3-v8ArRQ&m=K501N-KyFehpZbKuI7-y8wjh1CRhFM5imee6pJYZC9g&s=k9SJWvHCPxlEA_0YORaB1iJB0tr94RjmBkwzdzBW66Q&e=>).
Submissions are limited to up to 10 pages. We also encourage submission of
work-in-progress and late-breaking ideas that illustrate promising results.
The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not
include references, for which there is no page limit. Papers should be
submitted electronically via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=comhpc2016. Submitted papers should
not have appeared in or be under consideration for a different workshop,
conference or journal. Papers will be peer-reviewed by the Program
Committee for novelty, scientific merit, technical strength, originality,
quality of presentation and scope of the workshop. It is also expected that
at least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the
workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings by
SIGHPC and made available in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore.

One outstanding paper selected by the Program Committee will be
awarded the *Best
Paper Award* (sponsored by Intel).
