Call For Papers
Third International Workshop on Communication Architectures for
HPC, Big Data, Deep Learning and Clouds at Extreme Scale
(ExaComm 2017)
June 22, 2017, Frankfurt, Germany
to be held in conjunction with
ISC 2017, June 18 - 22, 2017
Frankfurt, Germany
http://web.cse.ohio-state.edu/~subramon/ExaComm17/exacomm17.html
========================================================================
Extreme Scale computing in HPC, Big Data, Deep Learning and Clouds are
marked by multiple-levels of hierarchy and heterogeneity ranging from the
compute units (many-core CPUs, GPUs, APUs etc) to storage devices (NVMe,
NVMe over Fabrics etc) to the network interconnects (InfiniBand, High-Speed
Ethernet, Omni-Path etc). Owing to the plethora of heterogeneous
communication paths with different cost models expected to be present in
extreme scale systems, data movement is seen as the soul of different
challenges for exascale computing. On the other hand, advances in
networking technologies such as NoCs (like NVLink and Stormlake), RDMA
enabled networks and the likes are constantly pushing the envelope of
research in the field of novel communication and computing architectures
for extreme scale computing. The goal of this workshop is to bring
together researchers and software/hardware designers from academia,
industry and national laboratories who are involved in creating
network-based computing solutions for extreme scale architectures. The
objectives of this workshop will be to share the experiences of the members
of this community and to learn the opportunities and challenges in the
design trends for exascale communication architectures.
ExaComm 2017 will be held in conjunction with the International
Supercomputing (ISC 2017), Frankfurt, Germany, on Thursday, June 22, 2017.
Topics
------
ExaComm 2017 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including
but
not limited to:
* Scalable communication protocols
* High performance networks
* Runtime/middleware designs
* Impact of high performance networks on Deep Learning / Machine
Learning
* Impact of high performance networks on Big Data
* Novel hardware/software co-design
* High performance communication solutions for accelerator
based computing
* Power-aware techniques and designs
* Performance evaluations
* Quality of Service (QoS)
* Resource virtualization and SR-IOV
Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient
background material to make them accessible to the broader community.
Best Paper Award
----------------
Mellanox 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
----------------
Coming soon!
Paper Submission and Registration
---------------------------------
Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference
system.
EasyChair URL for ExaComm'17:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exacomm2017
We request the authors to use the LNCS style (single column format) using
either the LaTeX document class or Word template. For details on the author
guidelines, please refer to Springer's website
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Incorrectly
formatted papers will be excluded from the reviewing process. Submission
must be made as a single PDF file which includes all figures and
bibliography.
Submissions are accepted under the following two categories:
Full Paper : 12 pages with all figures and bibliography in the LNCS format
Short Paper : 8 pages with all figures and bibliography in the LNCS format
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.
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.
The papers accepted to be presented in ExaComm'17 will be published in
a separate post-conference joint workshop proceeding volume, published
online with Springer Publishing. The camera-ready versions need to be
submitted via the EasyChair conference management system. The link to
the submission site will be provided soon.
Please contact the Program Chairs for any questions / clarifications
Proceedings Information
-----------------------
The papers accepted to be presented in ExaComm'17 will be published in a
separate, post-conference joint ISC workshop proceedings volume, published
online with Springer Publishing. The idea about post-conference proceedings
is that they give the authors the flexibility to adjust their contributions
slightly based on the feedback given during the workshops.
The camera-ready versions need to be submitted via the EasyChair conference
management system. The link to the submission site will be provided soon.
Page limits for full and short papers are as follows
Full Paper: 12 pages with all figures and bibliography in the LNCS format
Short Paper: 8 pages with all figures and bibliography in the LNCS format
The authors must use the LNCS style (single column format) using either the
LaTeX document class or Word template. For details on the author
guidelines, please refer to Springer's website
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). Incorrectly
formatted papers will be excluded from the proceedings. Submission must be
made as a single PDF file which includes all figures and bibliography.
The copyright of the submission will need to be transferred to Springer. A
copyright form will be provided for this at the appropriate time.
Please contact the Program Chairs for any questions / clarifications.
