[hpc-announce] [CFP] 3rd Workshop On Performance and Scalability of Storage Systems (WOPSSS)

Wed Feb 28 03:12:44 CST 2018

CfP 3rd WOPSSS workshop at ISC High Performance 

Third Workshop On Performance and Scalability of Storage Systems (WOPSSS)

Held jointly with ISC, Frankfurt, Germany. June 28th, 2018

http://wopsss.org 

** Submission deadline  April 20 ** 

The Workshop On Performance and Scalability of Storage Systems (WOPSSS) aims
to present state-of-the-art research, innovative ideas, and experience that
focus on the design and implementation of HPC storage systems in both
academic and industrial worlds, with a special interest on their performance
analysis.

The arrival of new storage technologies and scales unseen in previous
practice lead to significant loss of performance predictability. This will
leave storage system designers, application developers and the storage
community at large in the difficult situation of not being able to precisely
detect bottlenecks, evaluate the room for improvement, or estimate the
matching of applications with a given storage architecture.

WOPSSS intends to encourage discussion of these issues through submissions
of researchers or practitioners from both academic and industrial worlds.

The workshop is held in conjunction with the ISC-HPC during the ISC workshop
day. Note that the attendance of ISC workshops requires a workshop pass. See
also our last year's workshop web page. 

   WOPSSS is embedded into a full-day program for I/O that we organize with
the team of the IODC the HPC I/O in the Data Center Workshop
(https://wr.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/events/2018/iodc) We will build a
program with a joint morning session with keynote talks and best papers and
then diverge into two independent workshops in the afternoon. 

All accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings by Springer. 

Extended versions of the best papers will be published in the ACM SIGOPS
(http://www.sigops.org/osr.html) journal

** Topics of interest **

included but are not limited to:

- Storage systems modeling and analysis tools

- Feed-back and empirical evaluation of storage systems

- Application I/O characterization

- AI workload and storage performance analysis

- Parallel I/O and storage systems: consistency, caching, replication,

reliability and fault recovery overhead

- Network challenges and storage systems: Scalability, QoS, Partitionability

- Low latency storage systems usability and analysis: memory-only, Flash,
NVRAM, Storage Class Memory

- File system design

- Cloud and distributed storage
