========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================================== International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers *** ROSS 2018 *** In cooperation with ACM SIGHPC ------------------------------ Held in conjunction with HPDC 2018, Tempe, Arizona, USA, June 12, 2018 ========================================================================== http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/ross/2018/ ========================================================================== **** Encouraging Wild and Crazy Ideas as Well as Talk submissions **** The complexity of node architectures in supercomputers increases as we cross petaflop milestones on the way towards Exascale. Increasing levels of parallelism in multi- and many-core chips and emerging heterogeneity of computational resources coupled with energy and memory constraints force a reevaluation of our approaches towards operating systems and runtime environments. The ROSS workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting at the HPDC 2018 conference in Tempe, Arizona, USA, focuses on principles and techniques to design, implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems for supercomputers and massively parallel machines. In addition to typical workshop publications, we encourage novel and possibly immature ideas, provided that they are interesting and on-topic. Well argued position papers are also welcome. TOPICS OF INTEREST: ------------------- - OS and runtime system scalability on many-node and multi/many-core systems - management of heterogeneous and reconfigurable compute resources, including FPGAs, GPUs, etc. - distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSes and runtime systems for Supercomputing - system noise analysis and prevention - interaction between middleware, runtime system, and the OS - modeling and performance analysis of runtime systems - OS and runtime considerations for large-volume, high-performance I/O - memory management and emerging memory technologies - the role of OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage SCHEDULE AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: ---------------------------------- Submission deadline: April 2, 2018 (extended) Author notification: April 27, 2018 Final papers due: May 11, 2018 Workshop date: June 12, 2018 The ROSS workshop proceedings will be published electronically via the ACM Digital Library. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM Master article template sigconf format (please be sure to use the current version). Extensive documentation can be found at the ACM site (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). The maximum length is 8 pages. All papers must be in English. Please visit the workshop website for further instructions and the submission link.
