Call for Papers: Deadline extended to January 23.

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP)

The Twenty Sixth International Heterogeneity in Computing Workshop (HCW)

In conjunction with IPDPS 2017, May 29, 2017, Orlando, USA

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society,
through the Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP),
and by the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR).

SUMMARY

Most modern computing systems are heterogeneous, either for organic reasons
because components grew independently as it is the case in desktop grids, or by
design to leverage the strength of specific hardware as it is the case in
accelerated systems. In any case, all computing systems have some form of
hardware or software heterogeneity that must been managed, leveraged and
understood. HCW is a venue to discuss and innovate in all theoretical and
practical aspects of heterogeneous computing: programmability, modeling, design,
applications, efficient utilization, algorithms, etc.. Authors are encouraged to
submit papers on topics including but not limited to:

Heterogeneous Systems and Architecture. Accelerated systems (GPUs,
Xeon Phi, FPGAs, big.LITTLE, ...). Heterogeneous distributed systems
(grid, desktop grid, cloud, hybrid clusters) including software
heterogeneity. Deep-memory hierarchies (HDD, DRAM, cache, NUMA) and
novel explicit memory systems (SSD, NVRAM, 3D stacked memory).

Programming Models and Tools. Code
reusability. Performance-abstraction tradeoff. Interoperability of
heterogeneous software environments. Middleware and runtime
systems. Workflows. Dataflows.

Algorithms for Heterogeneous Parallel System. Parallel algorithms for
solving problems on heterogeneous systems. Algorithms for managing
heterogeneous resources including allocation and scheduling.

Performance. Modeling, optimizing, improving the time to solve a
problem (throughput, latency, runtime), the electric consumption
(power, energy) and failure management (fault tolerance, recovery,
reliability).

Applications on Heterogeneous System. Case studies. Confluence of Big
Data systems and heterogeneous systems. Data-intensive computing. Deep
Learning. Scientific computing.

We also recall that heterogeneous systems must consist of several different
architectures working together.
