HPC Systems Professionals Workshop  - HPCSYSPROS17

Held in conjunction with SC17: The International Conference on High
Performance Computing,

Networking, Storage and Analysis.

Submission Deadline - September 10th - FINAL EXTENSION

Submissions: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpcsyspros2017

Workshop Website: http://hpcsyspros.lsu.edu/

Contact: hpcsyspros at hpcsyspros.lsu.edu

Supercomputing systems present complex challenges to personnel who design,
deploy and maintain these systems. Standing up these systems and keeping
them running require novel solutions that are unique to high performance
computing. The success of any supercomputing center depends on stable and
reliable systems, and HPC Systems Professionals are crucial to that
success.

The Second Annual HPC Systems Professionals Workshop will bring together
systems administrators, systems architects, and systems analysts in order
to share best practices, discuss cutting-edge technologies, and advance the
state-of-the-practice for HPC systems. Submissions are encouraged that
discuss all aspects of HPC systems design, implementation, maintenance, and
security.

Topics of Interest

---------------

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * Cluster, configuration, or software management

  * Performance tuning/Benchmarking

  * Resource manager and job scheduler configuration

  * Monitoring/Mean-time-to-failure/ROI/Resource utilization

  * Virtualization/Clouds

  * Designing and troubleshooting HPC interconnects

  * Designing and maintaining HPC storage solutions

  * Cybersecurity and data protection

Authors are invited to submit original, high-quality papers with an
emphasis on solutions that can be implemented by other members of the HPC
systems community. Papers should be submitted in PDF format and should be
between 6 and 8 pages including tables, figures and appendices, but
excluding references. Lightning Talks should be submitted as a 1-2
paragraph abstract.  All submissions should be formatted according to the
SC Proceedings template. Similar to the SC17 policy, margins and font sizes

through EasyChair.

Proceedings will be published in both IEEE Explore and the ACM Digital
library through collaboration with ACM SIGHPC.
