========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================================== International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers *** ROSS 2017 *** In cooperation with ACM SIGHPC ------------------------------ Held in conjunction with HPDC 2017, Washington, D.C., USA, June 27, 2017 ========================================================================== http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/ross/2017/ ========================================================================== 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 2017 conference in Washington, D.C., USA, focuses on principles and techniques to design, implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems for supercomputers and massively parallel machines. The keynote will be delivered by Dr. Arthur B. (Barney) Maccabe from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA. 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 7, 2017 (extended) Author notification: May 12, 2017 Final papers due: June 2, 2017 Workshop date: June 27, 2017 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 new 2017 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.
