   HiPINEB 2016

The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on High-Performance Interconnection
Networks in the Exascale and Big-Data Era

                    Barcelona, Spain, 12 March 2016
                  http://hipineb.i3a.info/hipineb2016/

        held in conjunction with the IEEE HPCA 2016 Conference
========================================================================

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

   - *Keynote*: Given by the professor Jose Duato (Technical University of
   Valencia, Spain)
   - *Panel*: "Large scale routing vs. congestion control: will it be
   central (SDN) or locally adaptive?", combining the vision of both academia
   and the industry
   - *Technical sessions*: 8 high-quality presentations of the latest
   research work in interconnection networks.

ABSTRACT

By the year 2023, High-Performance Computing (HPC) Systems are expected to
break the performance barrier of the Exaflop (10^18 FLOPS) while their
power consumption is kept at current levels (or incremented marginally),
what is known as the Exascale challenge. In addition, more storage capacity
and data-access speed is demanded to HPC clusters and datacenters to manage
and store huge amounts of data produced by software applications, what is
known as the Big-Data challenge. Indeed, both the Exascale and Big-Data
challenges are driving the technological revolution of this decade,
motivating big research and development efforts from industry and academia.
In this context, the interconnection network plays an essential role in the
architecture of HPC systems and datacenters, as the number of processing or
storage nodes to be interconnected in these systems is very likely to grow
significantly to meet the higher computing and storage demands. Besides,
the capacity of the network links is expected to grow, as the roadmaps of
several interconnect standards forecast. Therefore, the interconnection
network should provide a high communication bandwidth and low latency,
otherwise the network will become the bottleneck of the entire system. In
that regard, many design aspects are considered when it comes to improving
the interconnection network performance, such as topology, routing
algorithm, power consumption, reliability and fault tolerance, congestion
control, programming models, control software, etc.

The main goal of the second HiPINEB workshop is to gather and discuss in a
full-day event the latest and most prominent efforts and advances, both
from industry and academia, in the design and development of scalable
high-performance interconnection networks, especially those oriented to
meet the Exascale challenge and Big-data demands.

All researchers and professionals, both from industry and academia, working
in the area of interconnection networks for scalable HPC systems and
Datacenters are encouraged to attend this event.
