======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================================================= International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers *** ROSS 2016 *** In cooperation with ACM SIGHPC -------------------------------- Held in conjunction with HPDC 2016, Kyoto, Japan, June 1, 2016 ======================================================================= http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/ross/2016/ ======================================================================= 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 2016 conference in Kyoto, Japan focuses on principles and techniques to design, implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems for supercomputers and massively parallel machines. TOPICS OF INTEREST: ------------------- - OS and runtime system scalability on many-node and multi/many-core systems - specialized OSs for Supercomputing - management of heterogeneous compute resources - distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSs and runtime systems for Supercomputing - management of reconfigurable compute resources - fault tolerance - 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 - parallel job startup - memory management and emerging memory technologies - the role of OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage - real-time considerations for Supercomputing SCHEDULE AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: ---------------------------------- Submission deadline: March 14, 2016 Author notification: April 22, 2016 Final papers due: May 6, 2016 Workshop date: June 1, 2016 The ROSS workshop proceedings will be published electronically via the ACM Digital Library. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted using the ACM SIG proceedings alternate format; please make sure you use the latest version available. Extensive documentation can be found at the ACM site (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). The maximum length is 8 pages. All papers must be in English.
