[hpc-announce] ScaDL workshop at IPDPS'19

[Scalable DeepLearning]

Colleagues,

Please note the first workshop on ScaDL (Scalable Deep Learning over
Parallel and Distributed Infrastructures) is being organized with IPDPS
2019 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It will provide a unique forum for
researchers from academia as well as industry working at the intersection
of large scale systems and deep learning to discuss the most recent
advances in this area. Please consider submitting your recent work to this
forum.

CALL FOR PAPERS:
In this workshop we solicit research papers focused on distributed deep
learning aiming to achieve efficiency and scalability for deep learning
jobs over distributed and parallel systems. Papers focusing both on
algorithms as well as systems are welcome. We invite authors to submit
papers on topics including but not limited to:

    Deep learning on HPC systems
    Deep learning for edge devices
    Model-parallel and data-parallel techniques
    Asynchronous SGD for Training DNNs
    Communication-Efficient Training of DNNs
    Model/data/gradient compression
    Learning in Resource constrained environments
    Coding Techniques for Straggler Mitigation
    Elasticity for deep learning jobs/spot market enablement
    Hyper-parameter tuning for deep learning jobs
    Hardware Acceleration for Deep Learning
    Scalability of deep learning jobs on large number of nodes
    Deep learning on heterogeneous infrastructure
    Efficient and Scalable Inference
    Data storage/access in shared networks for deep learning jobs
