=========================================================================
3rd Workshop on Open Source Supercomputing
Frankurt, Germany
Held in conjunction with ISC18
CALL FOR PAPERS
http://www.opensuco.community/
=========================================================================
Increased specialization is an effective way for the HPC to continue
performance scaling at the end of MOSFET scaling. To decrease design cost – in
both money and time, rapid hardware prototyping methods combined with flexible
software stacks and programming models must to be explored.
Open source solutions may provide the best opportunities for specialization
and the OpenSuCo Workshop seeks to encapsulate a wealth of effort in design,
prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration of open source hardware,
software, and scientific computing projects in a singular point of technical
discussion and exchange. As the limits of MOSFET/Dennard scaling grow ever
closer, the high performance/technical computing community continually seeks
new methods by which to continue scaling system performance and, potentially,
system efficiency. The goal of this workshop is to engage the HPC community
and explore open-source solutions for constructing an HPC system – from silicon
to applications.
Important Dates
=============================
Submission Deadline: 2018 April 06, 23:59 AOE
Conference-ready deadline: 2018 June 17
Camera-ready deadline: 2018 July 29
Topics of Interest
=============================
We invite the community to submit both papers and proposals for “lightning demos.”
We solicit papers and demos according to (but not limited to) three technical tracks as follows:
– Hardware
— ISA & processors
— Novel accelerators
— System and network interconnects
— Simulation & emulation
— Early hardware evaluations
– Software
— System software & OS
— Programming models, tools & tool chains
— Numerical solvers
— Application infrastructures
– Collaboration
— Co-design projects and methods
— Cross-disciplinary projects
— International collaborations
The demo session will provide attendees the opportunity to give short (10-min) demos
of software or hardware technology that could forward the construction of open
source HPC systems. We solicit demos according to (but not limited to) the following criteria:
— Prototype hardware (FPGA or ASIC) demonstrations
— Application demonstrations
— Live benchmarking or performance analysis demos
