Call For Papers
Third International IEEE Workshop on Extreme Scale
Programming Models and Middleware
(ESPM2 2017)
November 12, 2017, Denver, Colorado
to be held in conjunction with
SuperComputing 2017, November 12 - 16, 2017
Denver, Colorado
http://nowlab.cse.ohio-state.edu/espm2/
========================================================================
Next generation architectures and systems being deployed are characterized
by high concurrency, low memory per-core, and multiple levels of hierarchy
and heterogeneity. These characteristics bring out new challenges in energy
efficiency, fault-tolerance and, scalability. It is commonly believed that
software has the biggest share of the responsibility to tackle these
challenges. In other words, this responsibility is delegated to the next
generation programming models and their associated middleware/runtimes.
This workshop focuses on different aspects of programming models such as
task-based parallelism (Charm++, OCR, Habanero, Legion, X10, HPX, etc),
PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, UPC++, etc.), BigData (Hadoop, Spark,
etc), Deep Learning (Caffe, Microsoft CNTK, Google TensorFlow),
directive-based languages (OpenMP, OpenACC) and Hybrid MPI+X, etc. It also
focuses on their associated middleware (unified runtimes, interoperability
for hybrid programming, tight integration of MPI+X, and support for
accelerators) for next generation systems and architectures.
The ultimate objective of the ESPM2 workshop is to serve as a forum that
brings together researchers from academia and industry working in the areas
of programming models, runtime systems, compilers, programming languages,
and
application developers.
ESPM2 2017 will be held as a full day workshop in conjunction with the
SuperComputing (SC 2017), Denver, Colorado, USA, Sunday, November 12th,
2017.
Topics
------
ESPM2 2017 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including but
not limited to:
* New programming models, languages and constructs for exploiting high
concurrency and heterogeneity
* Experience with and improvements for existing parallel languages and
run-time environments such as:
- MPI
- PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, UPC++, etc.)
- Directive-based programming (OpenMP, OpenACC)
- Asynchronous Task-based models (Charm++, OCR, Habanero, Legion,
X10, HPX, etc)
- Hybrid MPI+X models
- BigData (Hadoop, Spark, etc), and
- Deep Learning (Caffe, Microsoft CNTK, Google TensorFlow)
* Parallel compilers, programming tools, and environments
* Software and system support for extreme scalability including fault
tolerance
* Programming environments for heterogeneous multi-core systems and
accelerators such as KNL, OpenPOWER, ARM, GPUs, FPGAs, MICs, and DSPs
Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient
background material to make them accessible to the broader community.
Best Paper Award
----------------
Intel has generously offered to sponsor the Best Paper Award. This award
will be given to the author(s) of the paper selected by the Technical
Program Committee and the Program Chairs. The award will be determined from
viewpoints of the technical and scientific merits, impact on the science
and engineering of the research work and the clarity of presentation of the
research contents in the paper.
Keynote Speakers
----------------
We are happy to announce that Prof. William D. Gropp, Interim Director and
Chief Scientist at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and
the Thomas M. Siebel Chair in Computer Science at the University of
Illinois Urbana-Champaign will deliver the keynote address at ESPM2'17.
Panel Information
-----------------
Panel Topic : Effective Programming Models for Deep Learning at Scale
Panel Moderator : Daniel Holmes, EPCC, The University of Edinburgh, UK.
Panel Members : Coming soon!
Paper Submission and Registration
---------------------------------
Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference
system.
EasyChair URL for ESPM2'17:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=espm22017
Submissions should not exceed 8 pages using ACM format with 10pt font.
Each submission must be a single PDF file.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format (readable by Adobe Acrobat Reader
5.0 and higher) and formatted for 8.5" x 11" (U.S. Letter).
The manuscript should be formatted according to ACM format (see
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates)
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, in order
to have the paper published in the proceedings.
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.
Please contact the Program Chairs for any questions/clarifications
