----------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2006 High Availability and Performance Computing Workshop (HAPCW) in conjunction with LACSI 2006, October 17, 2006, in Santa Fe, NM. http://xcr.cenit.latech.edu/hapcw2006 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
During the last decade, high-end computing (HEC) systems have become a necessary tool for scientists worldwide to understand and solve complex problems, such as in nuclear fusion, energy, climate, biological processes and nano-technology. These non-trivial problems are usually characterized by massive and long running applications. In addition, the larger a system becomes, the more difficult it is to make it highly reliable as well as available. Therefore, Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) management will become an increasingly paramount aspect in many computing environments. RAS management goals are to maximize uptime and therefore undoubtedly complement HEC objectives by preventing performance degradation and spectrum availability.
High Availability (HA) Computing has always played a critical role in commercial mission critical applications. Likewise, High Performance Computing (HPC) has equally been a significant enabler of the R&D community. Serviceability aims toward effective means by which corrective and preventive maintenance can be performed on a system. Higher serviceability improves availability and helps retaining quality, performance, and continuity of services at expected levels. Together, the combination of HA, Serviceability, and HPC will clearly lead to even more benefits for HEC environments.
The High Availability and Performance Computing Workshop (HAPCW) aims to provide a forum for researchers to discuss state-of-the-art and on-going research and development, and to share their findings and ideas in HAPC. Since 2003, we have held three consecutive successful workshops. As a follow-on, a full-day Workshop will be held on October 17, 2006 in conjunction with the 2006 Los Alamos Computer Science Institute Symposium (LACSI 2006), at the Eldorado Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In addition to the presentation of reviewed papers, the workshop will include a panel discussion of relevant topics.
Topics of interest to HAPCW2006 include but are not limited to: • High Availability (Reliability) and Performance Computing • Serviceability in Cluster, High-End and Grid Computing • Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) management in HEC • Architecture, Middleware and Tools supporting HAPC • High Availability Computing • Experience creating HPAC environment and current status • Fault Prevention, Detection and Recovery, Fault Tolerance and Autonomic Computing in HPC and HEC • Configuration, Resource and Fault Management • Distributed Security in Cluster, HPC and High-End computing • Mission Critical Application in HPC environments
