Call for Papers
International Workshop on Cloud Technologies
for High Performance Computing (CloudTech-HPC)
http://sites.google.com/site/cloudtechpc/
Pittsburgh, PA, September 10-13, 2012
in conjunction with
The 41st International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP 2012)
http://www.icpp2012.org/
Introduction
High Performance Computing (HPC) involves the design of system
architecture, tuning of software environment, construction of
mathematical models and numerical solution techniques for solving
scientific, social scientific and engineering problems. It often
requires a huge number of computing and storage resources to perform
large-scale analyses and experiments. In general, different
scientific experiments also have to be reorganized or redesigned
their computing models for making use of the HPC system.
Cloud computing can address many of the aforementioned concerns. By
means of cloud technologies, users can access to massive computing
and storage resources and can customize their computing environment
for offering a variety of services. Moreover, by using the pay per
use model, users can scale up or down the computing infrastructure
according to their requirements and budget without deploying actual
physical infrastructure. They could get access to their own
virtualized HPC cluster in a self-service, dynamically scalable and
fully configurable environment. Such a computing paradigm provides a
flexible high performance computing environment.
However, there is some performance gap between cloud computing and
the traditional HPC environments. Therefore, the performance of
running the high performance applications in clouds comparing with
the traditional HPC infrastructure should be a concern. The goal of
this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in
cloud technologies for high performance computing. Please join us in
a discussion of new ideas, experiences, and the latest trends in
these areas at the workshop.
Scope and Interests
All papers related to cloud technologies for high performance
computing are welcome. We cordially invite presenters to submit
manuscripts for any application domain as long as the core of the
manuscript belongs to, but not limited to, the following topics:
� Virtualization techniques for HPC clusters
� Virtualization techniques for HPC GPU/multicore systems
� Performance evaluation of HPC clouds
� HPC cloud applications
� Scalable Fault Resilience Techniques for HPC clouds
� HPC Cloud-based Services
� Programming Models for HPC clouds
� HPC cloud infrastructure
� HPC as a Service
� Auditing and monitoring for HPC clouds
� Modeling, and Optimizations
� Scalable Scheduling for HPC clouds
� Middleware frameworks for HPC clouds
� Load balancing for HPC clouds
� Optimal deployment configuration for HPC clouds
� I/O of HPC applications.
� Remote Visualization
Important Dates
Submission Deadline: March 09, 2012
Authors Notification: June 08, 2012
Camera ready Due: July 06, 2012
Electronic Submission
Prepare your workshop paper with the IEEE standard double column
format no more than 6 pages in the PDF file format. Submit your
paper(s) at the EasyChair submission site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cloudtechhpc2012
All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished
researches, not currently under review by another conference,
journal or workshop. Each submission should be assumed that, if the
paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the
workshop to present the work in order for the paper to be included
in the Proceedings of ICPP-2012 Workshops that will be published by
the IEEE CS Press.
