18 Feb '20

HLPP 2020 The 13th International Symposium on High-level Parallel Programming and Applications Porto, Portugal, 9-10 July, 2020 https://hlpp2020.dcc.fc.up.pt/ hlpp2020(a)dcc.fc.up.pt Aims and scope of HLPP ---------------------- As processor and system manufacturers increase the amount of both inter- and intra-chip parallelism it becomes crucial to provide the software industry with high-level, clean and efficient tools for parallel programming. Parallel and distributed programming methodologies are currently dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing, or equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms. Higher-level, structured approaches offer many possible advantages and have a key role to play in the scalable exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism. Since 2001 the HLPP series of workshops/symposia has been a forum for researchers developing state-of-the-art concepts, tools and applications for high-level parallel programming. The general emphasis is on software quality, programming productivity and high-level performance models. The 13th Symposium on High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications will be held in the Porto, Portugal. Topics ------ HLPP 2020 invites papers on all topics in high-level parallel programming, its tools and applications including, but not limited to, the following aspects: * High-level programming, performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, etc.) and tools * Declarative parallel programming methodologies * Algorithmic skeletons and constructive methods * Declarative parallel programming languages and libraries: semantics and implementation * Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs * Software synthesis, automatic code generation for parallel programming * Model-driven software engineering with parallel programs * High-level programming models for heterogeneous/hierarchical platforms * High-level parallel methods for large structured and semi-structured datasets * Applications of parallel systems using high-level languages and tools * Formal models of timing and real-time verification for parallel systems Local Organization ------------------ Inês Dutra Miguel Areias Ricardo Rocha Important dates: ---------------- Submission deadline: 6th, April (anywhere on earth) Author notification: 4th, June Camera-ready for draft proceedings: 1st, July Early registration deadline: 10th, June Symposium: 9th-10th, July (Thursday/Friday) IJPP (HLPP special issue) submission deadline: 1st, October IJPP (HLPP special issue) camera-ready for journal publication: 01st, December Paper submission ---------------- Papers submitted to HLPP 2020 must describe original research results and must not have been published or simultaneously submitted anywhere else.

CfP VHPC20: HPC Containers-Kubernetes
by VHPC 20 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERSa 15th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC 20) held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance, June 21-25, 2020, Frankfurt, Germany. (Springer LNCS Proceedings) ==================================================================== Date: June 25, 2020 Workshop URL: vhpc[dot]org Abstract registration Deadline: Jan 31st, 2020 Paper Submission Deadline: Apr 05th, 2020 Springer LNCS Call for Papers Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Most recently, Function as a Service (Faas) and Serverless computing, utilizing lightweight VMs-containers widens the spectrum of applications that can be deployed in a cloud environment, especially in an HPC context. Here, HPC-provided services can be become accessible to distributed workloads outside of large cluster environments. Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized 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 (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O Virtualization in turn allows physical network interfaces to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume.
