Call For Papers
Sixth International IEEE Workshop on Extreme Scale
Programming Models and Middleware
(ESPM2 2021)
to be held in conjunction with
SuperComputing 2021 November 14 - 19, 2021
St. Louis, Missouri
http://nowlab.cse.ohio-state.edu/espm2/
========================================================================
Next-generation architectures and systems being deployed are characterized
by high concurrency, low memory per-core, and multiple levels of hierarchy
and heterogeneity. These characteristics bring out new challenges in energy
efficiency, fault-tolerance, and scalability. It is commonly believed that
software has the biggest share of the responsibility to tackle these
challenges. In other words, this responsibility is delegated to the next
generation programming models and their associated middleware/runtimes.
This workshop focuses on different aspects of programming models such as
task-based parallelism (Charm++, OCR, Habanero, Legion, X10, HPX, etc),
PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, UPC++, etc.), BigData (Hadoop, Spark,
Dask etc), Machine Learning (NVIDIA RAPIDS, Scikit-learn etc.), Deep
Learning (Caffe, Microsoft CNTK, Google TensorFlow, Facebook PyTorch),
directive-based languages (OpenMP, OpenACC) and Hybrid MPI+X, etc. It also
focuses on their associated middleware (unified runtimes, interoperability
for hybrid programming, tight integration of MPI+X, and support for
accelerators/FPGAs) for next-generation systems and architectures.
The ultimate objective of the ESPM2 workshop is to serve as a forum that
brings together researchers from academia and industry working in the areas
of programming models, runtime systems, compilation, and languages, and
application developers.
ESPM2 2021 will be held as a full-day workshop in conjunction with
SuperComputing (SC 2021) in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Topics
------
ESPM2 2021 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including but
not limited to:
* New programming models, languages, and constructs for exploiting high
concurrency and heterogeneity
* Experience with and improvements for existing parallel languages and
run-time environments such as:
- MPI
- PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, UPC++, etc.)
- Directive-based programming (OpenMP, OpenACC)
- Asynchronous Task-based models (Charm++, OCR, Habanero, Legion,
X10, HPX, etc)
- Hybrid MPI+X models
- BigData (Hadoop, Spark, etc),
- Machine Learning (NVIDIA RAPIDS, Scikit-learn, etc.), and
- Deep Learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch, LBANN)
* Parallel compilers, programming tools, and environments
* Software and system support for extreme scalability including fault
tolerance
* Programming environments for heterogeneous multi-core systems and
accelerators such as KNL, OpenPOWER, ARM, GPUs, FPGAs, MICs, and DSPs
Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient
background material to make them accessible to the broader community.

Paper Submission and Registration
---------------------------------
Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the Linklings
conference system (https://submissions.supercomputing.org/
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/submissions.supercomputing.org/__;!!KGKeukY!lnPLG_mrEiT4IU0u5YkDRAA2Ekr5Rap9tJLkO0rSwMbqXl0JoT2de31zPPn65K1xCg$>).
After
logging
in, please select the "Make a New Submission" tab on the top. Click on the
"SC21 Workshop: ESPM2 2021" link among the available options to submit your
work.
Submissions should not exceed 8 pages using IEEE conference format
with 10pt font. Each submission must be a single PDF file (see
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html__;!!KGKeukY!lnPLG_mrEiT4IU0u5YkDRAA2Ekr5Rap9tJLkO0rSwMbqXl0JoT2de31zPPkCXPEhcQ$>
)
Papers must be submitted in PDF format (readable by Adobe Acrobat
Reader 5.0 and higher) and formatted for 8.5" x 11" (U.S. Letter).
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.
Reproducibility Initiative
--------------------------
For all technical papers submitted to ESPM2'21, we request the authors to
include an "Artifact Description Appendix". A template for how authors
should
format their appendix will be provided on the submission site.
Please note the following:
1. The completed appendix must be at most 2 pages
2. The appendix is meant to provide information about the computing
environment you used to produce your results, reducing barriers for
future replication of your results by others in the community.
3. If a new software package is developed as part of the publication,
it
software must be downloadable by anyone without restriction to
enable
replication of your results by others in the community.
- Note that this does not require you to make your code available
in an
open source manner.
4. A paper cannot be disqualified based on information provided or not
provided in this appendix, nor if the appendix is not available.
5. The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking a
paper. In particular, if two papers are of similar quality, the
existence and quality of the appendices can be part of the
evaluation
process.
Proceedings Information
-----------------------
The workshop proceedings will be published through IEEE TCHPC and
included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.
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; f) Relevance to Workshop, and g)
Availability and quality of the "Artifact Description Appendix". Every
effort will be made to ensure that each paper receives multiple reviews.
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, in order
to have the paper published in the proceedings.
Please contact the Program Chairs for any questions/clarifications
