----------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Best Paper Award in High Performance Grid Computing with Multi-core Servers ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The winning paper will demonstrate an innovative use of multi-core processors in computational or data grids and an achievement of high performance computing results. The best paper will be selected from the papers presented at HPGC in 2007 by the HPGC program committee and selected IPDPS committee members based on the following criteria:

* Peak performance of the grid used * Percentage of the peak performance achieved by the application * Percentage of multi-core processors used * Geographical distribution of the grid * HPC problem solved * Novelty of the approach

Entries are to be submitted to HPGC by its deadline of November 17. Papers nominated for the award will be announced after the program committee has reviewed HPGC submissions (by December 18) - see below.

------------------------------------------------------------ The Fourth High-Performance Grid Computing Workshop (HPGC) http://www.cs.unb.ca/profs/aubanel/hpgc/ ------------------------------------------------------------

Held in conjunction with The 20th IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium - IPDPS'2006, March 26-30, 2007

Computational grids allow the federation of significant computational and storage resources to solve challenging problems in science, engineering, medicine, finance, and entertainment. Involvement of multi-core platforms and wireless communications in the traditional grids comprised of clusters, workstations, and supercomputers pose new challenges to manage the grids and open new opportunities in using them. The High Performance Grid Computing workshop provides a forum for presenting research results on most aspects of grid computing, with a focus on performance, in the following areas: Applications, Benchmarking, Infrastructure, Management and Scheduling, Partitioning and Load Balancing, and Programming Models.

Topics ----- * Applications: Theory and practice of composing grid applications consisting of multiple interacting tasks. Solution of large problems on grids. * Benchmarking: Grid measurement technology for evaluating performance of grid hardware and middleware; benchmark results. * Infrastructure: Implementation and evaluation of computational grid middleware. * Management and Scheduling: Management, monitoring, resource allocation, scheduling, and metascheduling. * Partitioning and Load Balancing: Partitioning applications for computational grids for achieving high performance, and load balancing of grid applications. * Multi-core processors as grid components. * Programming Models: Methods for remote execution and intertask communications.

Paper Submission -----------------

We invite submissions not exceeding eight single-spaced pages. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal. Each paper will be refereed by at least three independent reviewers. Paper submission indicates the intention of the author to present the paper at the HPGC workshop at IPDPS 2007. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press in the proceedings of IPDPS 2007.
