12 May '14

Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP ************************************************************************************* 7th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC 2014) December 8-11, 2014, London, UK http://computing.derby.ac.uk/ucc2014/ Context and Scope Cloud Computing promises to deliver computational resources on demand as services that are commoditised and delivered as in traditional utilities such as electricity, gas, water and telephony. Utility with Cloud services can already be achieved for compute, storage and communication resources but also for hosted software and data. UCC is the premier IEEE/ACM conference covering all areas related to Cloud Computing as a Utility. There is also increasing interest from commercial providers to offer business and revenue models around the services they offer. Understanding how these model could be used to provide utility for both users, intermediary brokers (aggregators) and providers will also be of interest for this conference. This will be the 7th UCC in a successful conference series. Previous events were held in Shanghai, China (Cloud 2009), Melbourne, Australia (Cloud 2010 & UCC 2011), Chennai, India (UCC 2010), Chicago, USA (UCC 2012), and Dresden, Germany (UCC2013). UCC 2014 happens while cloud providers worldwide add new services and increase utility at an accelerated pace and is therefore of high relevance for both academic and industrial research. Topics of interest include: * Big Data and Analytics * Principles and theoretical foundations of Utility Computing, including pricing and service models * Policy languages and Programming models * Architectural models to achieve Utility in Clouds * Designs and deployment models for Clouds: private, public, hybrid, federated, aggregated * Cloud Computing middleware, stacks, tools, delivery networks and services at all layers (XaaS) * Virtualisation technologies and other enablers * Economic models and scenarios of use * Scalability and resource management: brokering, scheduling, capacity planning, parallelism and elasticity, as well as marketplaces * Cloud management: autonomic, adaptive, self-*, SLAs, performance models and monitoring * Applications: games, social networks, scientific computing (e-science) and business * Mobile and energy-efficient use of Clouds * Beyond technology: Cloud business and legal implications, such as security, privacy, trust and jurisdiction especially in Utility contextsImportant Dates Workshop Proposals: 12 May, 2014 Paper Submissions Due: 18 July, 2014 Notification of Acceptance:29 August, 2014 Early Registration Deadline:29 September, 2014 Paper Submission Authors are invited to submit papers electronically through EasyChair(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ucc2014) .

[VHPC’14] LAST Call for Papers - Deadline in 4 weeks
by VHPC 14 12 May '14

12 May '14

================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS 9th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '14) held in conjunction with Euro-Par 2014, August 25-29, Porto, Portugal (Springer LNCS) ================================================================= Date: August 26, 2014 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Paper Submission Deadline: June 9, 2014 (extended) Confirmed Keynote Speakers: Ron Brightwell, Sandia National Laboratory Hobbes: Using Virtualization to Enable Exascale Applications and Helge Meinhard, CERN CALL FOR PAPERS Virtualization technologies constitute a key enabling factor for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to dynamically manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion for varying workloads and hosted applications, independently of the customers deploying software or users submitting highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads. Thanks to virtualization, we have the ability to manage vast computing and networking resources dynamically and close to the marginal cost of providing the services, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple under-utilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization, with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their co-existence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; I/O Virtualization allows physical NICs/HBAs to take traffic from multiple VMs; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology and IP addressing, provides the fundamental ground on top of which evolved network services can be realized with an unprecedented level of dynamicity and flexibility; the increasingly adopted paradigm of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) promises to extend this flexibility to the control and data planes of network paths. These technologies have to be inter-mixed and integrated in an intelligent way, to support workloads that are increasingly demanding in terms of absolute performance, responsiveness and interactivity, and have to respect well-specified Service- Level Agreements (SLAs), as needed for industrial-grade provided services. Indeed, among emerging and increasingly interesting application domains for virtualization, we can find big-data application workloads in cloud infrastructures, interactive and real-time multimedia services in the cloud, including real-time big-data streaming platforms such as used in real-time analytics supporting nowadays a plethora of application domains. Distributed cloud infrastructures promise to offer unprecedented responsiveness levels for hosted applications, but that is only possible if the underlying virtualization technologies can overcome most of the latency impairments typical of current virtualized infrastructures (e.g., far worse tail-latency). What is more, in data communications Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is becoming a key technology enabling a shift from supplying hardware-based network functions, to providing them in a software-based and elastic way. In conjunction with (public and private) cloud technologies, NFV may be used for constructing the foundation for cost-effective network functions that can easily and seamlessly adapt to demand, still keeping their major carrier-grade characteristics in terms of QoS and reliability. The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC) aims to bring together researchers and industrial practitioners facing the challenges posed by virtualization in order to foster discussion, collaboration, mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, enabling research to ultimately provide novel solutions for virtualized computing systems of tomorrow. The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections, and lightning talks, limited to 5 minutes. Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demonstrations. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Management, deployment and monitoring of virtualized environments - Language-process virtual machines - Performance monitoring for virtualized/cloud workloads - Virtual machine monitor platforms - Topology management and optimization for distributed virtualized applications - Paravirtualized I/O - Improving I/O and network virtualization including use of RDMA, Infiniband, PCIe - Improving performance in VM access to GPUs, GPU clusters, GP-GPUs - HPC storage virtualization - Virtualized systems for big-data and analytics workloads - Optimizations and enhancements to OS virtualization support - Improving OS-level virtualization and its integration within cloud management - Performance modelling for virtualized/cloud applications - Heterogeneous virtualized environments - Parallel virtualized - virtualization aware file systems - Network virtualization - Software defined networking - Network function virtualization - Hypervisor and network virtualization QoS and SLAs - Cloudbursting - Evolved European grid architectures including such based on network virtualization - Workload characterization for VM-based environments - Optimized communication libraries/protocols in the cloud - System and process/bytecode VM convergence - Cloud frameworks and APIs - Checkpointing/migration of VM-based large compute jobs - Job scheduling/control/policy with VMs - Instrumentation interfaces and languages - VMM performance (auto-)tuning on various load types - Cloud reliability, fault-tolerance, and security - Research, industrial and educational use cases - Virtualization in cloud, cluster and grid environments - Cross-layer VM optimizations - Cloud HPC use cases including optimizations - Services in cloud HPC - Hypervisor extensions and tools for cluster and grid computing - Cluster provisioning in the cloud - Performance and cost modelling - Languages for describing highly-distributed compute jobs - VM cloud and cluster distribution algorithms, load balancing - Instrumentation interfaces and languages - Energy-aware virtualization Important Dates Rolling Paper registration June 9, 2014 - Full paper submission (extended) July 4, 2014 - Acceptance notification October 3, 2014 - Camera-ready version due August 26, 2014 - Workshop Date TPC CHAIR Michael Alexander (chair), TU Wien, Austria Anastassios Nanos (co-chair), NTUA, Greece Tommaso Cucinotta (co-chair), Bell Labs, Dublin, Ireland PROGRAM COMMITTEE Costas Bekas, IBM Jakob Blomer, CERN Roberto Canonico, University of Napoli Federico II, Italy Piero Castoldi, Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies Paolo Costa, MS Research Cambridge, England Jorge Ejarque Artigas, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain William Gardner, University of Guelph, USA Balazs Gerofi, University of Tokyo, Japan Krishna Kant, Temple University, USA Romeo Kinzler, IBM Nectarios Koziris, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Giuseppe Lettieri, University of Pisa, Italy Jean-Marc Menaud, Ecole des Mines de Nantes, France Christine Morin, INRIA, France Dimitrios Nikolopoulos, Queen's University of Belfast, UK Herbert Poetzl, VServer, Austria Luigi Rizzo, University of Pisa, Italy Josh Simons, VMware, USA Borja Sotomayor, University of Chicago, USA Vangelis Tasoulas, Simula Research Lab, Norway Yoshio Turner, HP Labs, USA Kurt Tutschku, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden Chao-Tung Yang, Tunghai University, Taiwan PAPER SUBMISSION-PUBLICATION Papers submitted to the workshop will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee and external reviewers.

Questions about porting StarCluster to OpenStack
by Jonathan Proulx 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Hi All, For those who don't know me I deployed and run the OpenStack cloud at MIT CSAIL (http://www.csail.mit.edu) I'm currently working with Justin Riley (address in the "To" header of this email) who's the primary developer for StarCluster [http://star.mit.edu/cluster/index.html] on porting StarCluster to OpenStack. We have some operational and use case questions before we get too far down the implementation rathole^H^H^H^H^H^H^H path. I've sent this to openstack-hpc and some select bcc's to get a sense of who might be interest and what opinions you have about how the port should be implemented. What is it? If your not familiar, StarCluster is is an open source cluster-computing toolkit for Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) released under the LGPL license. It has been designed to automate and simplify the process of building, configuring, and managing clusters of virtual machines on Amazon’s EC2 cloud. StarCluster allows anyone to easily create a cluster computing environment in the cloud suited for distributed and parallel computing applications and systems. It's main target audience is domain scientists who want to setup a SGE, Condor, Hadoop, and a few other sorts of cluster in "the cloud". Its current implementation is basically a config file driven CLI that uses locally stored ssh keys for managing running the cluster. It has a fair sized user community and people seem to like it, which is why one of my users introduced Justin and I so I could provide a place for Justin to work and my user could get StarCluster on our private cloud. Were is it at? The CLI "basically works" on OpenStack now, though so far no end-users have touched it so not quite ready for public beta. If you're really interested in early code I'm sure Justin will be happy to share if you ask nicely. He has also been working on a Horizon dashboard which would be an additional feature for the OpenStack version (there is no EC2 GUI). The BIG QUESTIONS? Do you think this is something that would be useful to your users? To enable full functionality in the Horizon dashboard the dashboard app needs access to a private key to access the running (virtual) cluster nodes as root. Waving hands over implementation details, and assuming you're interested in this functionality of you're this far into the email. Is storing key material a show stopper in your environment? In other words would you rather just fall back to the CLI with it's local ~/.ssh/id_rsa (or equivalent) for privileged operations? My Opinion... I don't like centrally storing crypto keys, but my horizon runs on my controller node so it is already a fairly privileged zone, and I don't necessarily trust my users to store their key material even as well as this could be done. So while a bit cautious about the details I think it is an acceptable risk in my (admittedly permissive) environment. Thoughts? -Jon
