[hpc-announce] CFP: The 7th Workshop on Fault Tolerance for HPC at eXtreme Scale (FTXS) 2017 - June 26, 2017

[Teranishi, Keita]

CALL FOR PAPERS
7th Workshop on Fault-Tolerance for HPC at eXtreme Scale (FTXS 2017)

In conjunction with
The 26th International ACM Symposium on
High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 2017)
Washington D.C, USA on June 26 - June 30, 2017

Authors are invited to submit original papers on the research and practice
Of fault-tolerance in extreme scale (HPC) computing.  Resilience and
fault-tolerance remain a major concern for supercomputing, and advances in
this area is needed to allow applications to compute accurate (or within
error tolerance) answers in a timely and efficient manner in the presence
of degradations or failures of platform components (both hardware and
software).

Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Failure data analysis and field studies
* Power, performance, resilience (PPR) assessments / tradeoffs
* Novel fault-tolerance techniques and implementations
* Emerging hardware and software technology for resilience
* Silent data corruption (SDC) detection / correction techniques
* Advances in reliability monitoring, analysis, and control of highly complex systems
* Failure prediction, error preemption, and recovery techniques
* Fault-tolerant programming models
* Models for software and hardware reliability
* Metrics and standards for measuring, improving, and enforcing effective fault-tolerance
* Scalable Byzantine fault-tolerance and security from single-fault and fail-silent violations
* Atmospheric evaluations relevant to HPC systems (terrestrial neutrons, temperature, voltage, etc.)
* Near-threshold-voltage implications and evaluations for reliability
* Benchmarks and experimental environments including fault injection
* Frameworks and APIs for fault-tolerance and fault management
