Subject: [Swift-devel] Rename Swift mailing lists?
Message-ID: <55C25B7B.3030109@anl.gov>


We're in the process of moving the Swift mailing lists to Mailman at 
MCS, and will advertise them as being @swift-lang.org.

Should we at the same time rename (shorten) the aliases, to be for 
example devel at swift-lang.org and user at swift-lang.org, instead of e.g 
swift-devel at swift-lang.org?

We can I think retain the aliases current aliases ( e.g. 
swift-devel at ci.uchicago.edu)

seems like a good idea to me.

Subject: [Swift-devel] CFP: 8th Workshop on Many-Task Computing on Clouds,
 Grids, and Supercomputers (MTAGS) 2015 -- co-located with IEEE/ACM
 Supercomputing/SC 2015
Message-ID: <55E46A98.8070504@cs.iit.edu>

Call for Papers

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 8th Workshop on Many-Task Computing on Clouds, Grids, and 
Supercomputers (MTAGS) 2015
http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/MTAGS15/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
November 15th, 2015
Austin, Texas, USA

Co-located with with IEEE/ACM International Conference for
High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC15)

=======================================================================================
The 8th workshop on Many-Task Computing on Clouds, Grids, and 
Supercomputers (MTAGS) will provide the scientific community a dedicated 
forum for presenting new research, development, and deployment efforts 
of large-scale many-task computing (MTC) applications on large scale 
clusters, Grids, Supercomputers, and Cloud Computing infrastructure. 
MTC, the theme of the workshop encompasses loosely coupled applications, 
which are generally composed of many tasks (both independent and 
dependent tasks) to achieve some larger application goal.  This workshop 
will cover challenges that can hamper efficiency and utilization in 
running applications on large-scale systems, such as local resource 
manager scalability and granularity, efficient utilization of raw 
hardware, parallel file system contention and scalability, data 
management, I/O management, reliability at scale, and application 
scalability. We welcome paper submissions on all theoretical, 
simulations, and systems topics related to MTC, but we give special 
consideration to papers addressing petascale to exascale challenges. 
Papers will be peer-reviewed for novelty, scientific merit, and scope 
for the workshop. The workshop will be co-located with the IEEE/ACM 
Supercomputing 2015 Conference in Austin Texas on November 15th, 2015. 
For more information, please see http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/MTAGS15/.

For more information on past workshops, please see MTAGS14, MTAGS13, 
MTAGS12, MTAGS11, MTAGS10, MTAGS09, and MTAGS08. We also ran a Special 
Issue on Many-Task Computing in the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and 
Distributed Systems (TPDS) which appeared in June 2011; the proceedings 
can be found online at 
http://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/abs/trans/td/2011/06/ttd201106toc.htm. 
We are also currently assembling a new special issue in the IEEE 
Transaction on Cloud Computing on Many-Task Computing in the Cloud, see 
  http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/TCC-MTC15/index.html for more 
information. We, the workshop organizers, also published a highly 
relevant paper that defines Many-Task Computing which was published in 
MTAGS08,titled ?Many-Task Computing for Grids and Supercomputers?; we 
encourage potential authors to read this paper, and to clearly 
articulate in your paper submissions how your papers are related to 
Many-Task Computing.

   * Reliability of large systems


Paper Submission and Publication
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of 
not more than 6 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point 
size on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per ACM 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines; 
document templates can be found at 
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. The final 6 
page papers in PDF format must be submitted online at 
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/MTAGS2015/ before the deadline. 
Papers will be peer-reviewed for novelty, scientific merit, and scope 
for the workshop. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of 
the authors to register and present the paper. For more information, 
please see http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/MTAGS15/.

Machines that share their disk with beagle are all down and the beagle 
team(?) is working on this.
I just talked to the MCS helpdesk and they do not yet know how soon 
these machines will be back
online.
