HUCAA2013 ( http://www.hucaa-workshop.org/hucaa2013) is going to take place on October 1st, 2013, in Lyon, France, in conjunction with ICPP2013 ( http://icpp2013.ens-lyon.fr).
Objective
The workshop on Heterogeneous and Unconventional Cluster Architectures and Applications gears to gather recent work on heterogeneous and unconventional cluster
architectures and applications, which might have a big impact on future
cluster architectures. This includes any cluster architecture that is
not based on the usual commodity components and therefore makes use of
some special hard- or software elements, or that is used for very
special and unconventional applications. In particular we call for GPUs
and other accelerators (Intel MIC/Xeon Phi, FPGA) used at cluster level. Other examples
include virtualization, in-memory storage and device-to-device
communication on the software side. We are in particular encouraging
work on disruptive approaches, which may show inferior performance today
but can already point out their full performance potential. The broad
scope of the workshop facilitates submissions on unconventional uses of
hardware or software, gearing to gather ideas that are coming to life
now and not limiting them except for their context: clusters.
We
are seeking new proposals presented from a holistic perspective. In this
regard, one of the aims of the workshop is anticipating the evolution of
clusters. Instead of just presenting new work carried out in the traditional
cluster areas usually addressed in other conferences and workshops, we are
thinking on creating the right atmosphere for a discussion of opportunities
in cluster computing. In this regard, contributions would not only be
accepted according to their technical merits but also according to their
contribution to this discussion.
Topics of InterestTopics of interest include any heterogeneous or unconventional cluster architecture or application. Examples include, but are not limited to: - Clustered GPUs or other accelerators
- High-performance, data-intensive, and power-aware computing
- Application-specific clusters, datacenters, and cloud architectures
- New industry and technology trends and their potential impact
- Emerging programming paradigms for parallel computing
- Software cluster-level virtualization for consolidation purposes
- Hardware techniques for resource aggregation
- Management layers for large-scale systems
- New uses of GPUs, FPGAs, and other specialized hardware
Important DatesPaper submission: May 27th, 2013 (extended) May 13th, 2013Notification of acceptance: June 28th June 21st, 2013- Camera-ready paper: July 12th, 2013
- Workshop: October 1st, 2013
Paper Submission Guidelines Submissions may not exceed 8 pages (IEEE conference standard, two column, single spaced, 10pt font, 8½×11-inch pages) in PDF format including figures and references. We recommend a minimum of 6 pages. Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or journal. Work in progress is welcome, but first results should be made available as a proof of concept. Submissions only consisting of a proposal will be rejected.
Paper submissions will be handled using EDAS: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hucaa2013The published papers will be available at the conference in CD format, and will be submitted to the IEEE CS Digital Library. Extended Paper Journal Version The authors of the best papers from the workshop will be directly invited to submit an extended version for a special issue on a JCR journal. From the rest of the papers presented in the workshop, selected ones will be invited to submit an extended version. These papers will undergo a shepherding process in order to provide the authors with guidance for improving their work. Shepherds will be selected from the program committee members, which will also ensure the quality of the new versions. Notice that this special issue will be open to other works not previously submitted to the workshop, although these new papers will compete with the shepherded ones, which will have higher priority for similar quality.
