The 2015 International Workshop on
Data-Intensive Scalable Computing Systems (DISCS-2015) http://ft.ornl.gov/discs-2015/ Sunday, November 15, 2015 Hilton Austin Hotel, Austin TX, USA Held in conjunction with SC15: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis In cooperation with ACM SIGHPC, http://sighpc.org CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Scope of the Workshop * The Data Intensive Scalable Computing Systems (DISCS) workshop series facilitates dialogue about research aimed at the intersection of data intensive computing and traditional high performance computing (HPC). Traditional HPC systems were designed from a compute-centric perspective, with an emphasis on high floating-point performance. As scientific and analytics applications become more data intensive, there is a need to rethink HPC system architectures, programming models, runtime systems, and tools with a focus on data intensive computing. Industry approaches supporting data intensive applications have been highly successful, leading many in the HPC community to explore ways to apply them. Conversely, the HPC community's expertise in designing, deploying, and using high performance systems is attractive to those in industry. DISCS-2015 will feature a keynote address and presentation of peer-reviewed full and short research papers, with ample opportunity for researchers and developers to discuss recent results and the future challenges of running data intensive applications on traditional HPC systems and latest data-centric computing systems. * Important Dates * Paper Submission: August 21, 2015 Author Notification: September 25, 2015 Camera-Ready Paper Submission: October 10, 2015 Workshop Date: November 15, 2015 * Topics of Interest * Topics for DISCS-2015 include, but not limited to: * HPC system architectures for data intensive applications o Data-centric system architectures o I/O systems and architectures o System area networks o Power efficient systems * Programming models supporting data intensive applications o Data-centric programming models o MPI/GAS/PGAS extensions for data intensive applications o Non-traditional programming languages/methodologies * Runtime systems supporting data intensive applications o Intranode, Internode and Inter-System Communication o Data compression and de-duplication o Caching and prefetching o Reliability and fault tolerance o Data integrity and consistency * Productivity tools supporting data intensive applications o Data analytic tools o Tracing and trace analysis tools o Data mining and knowledge discovery tools o Data visualization techniques and tools o Computational, mathematical and statistical techniques and tools supporting such techniques * Submission Instructions * Submissions should be unpublished work and in PDF format on US Letter sized paper (8.5"x11") with not more than 8 pages (all inclusive) formatted according to the double-column format of the ACM SIG Proceedings “Option 1: LaTeX2e – Strict Adherence to SIGS style” template. Margins and fonts should not be modified from this style. All accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore. See https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=discs2015 for details. * Keynote * Irene M. Qualters will deliver the keynote address for DISCS-2015. Ms. Qualters is the Division Director of Advanced Cyber-infrastructure for the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), and has extensive experience guiding NSF’s national computing infrastructure. Before coming to the NSF, she had a 30-year career in industry, working on compilers, operating systems, and file systems. * Journal Special Issue * The authors of papers presented in the DISCS-2015 workshop will be invited to extend their manuscripts to be considered for a special issue guest of Parallel Computing: Systems & Applications, guest edited by the DISCS-2015 workshop chairs. Details regarding the journal special issue and important submission dates will be available to authors of accepted papers after the workshop. * Workshop Registration * Registration for DISCS-2015 and all other SC15 workshops is handled through the SC15 registration system. Attendees can register for access to SC15 workshops independent of the SC15 Technical Program, or can add workshop registration to their Technical Program registration at a reduced rate. All DISCS-2015 attendees, including presenters, are required to have a valid SC15 workshop registration. Please visit the SC15 Registration Page for more information and to register for SC15 workshops. * Organizers * GENERAL CHAIR Philip Roth, Oak Ridge National Laboratory PROGRAM CHAIRS Weikuan Yu, Florida State University Shane Canon, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory PROCEEDINGS CHAIR Michael Kluge, TU Dresden PUBLICITY CHAIR Jianhui Yue, Auburn University TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE Michael Brim, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Suren Byna, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Pietro Cicotti, San Diego Supercomputer Center Shuibing He, Illinois Institute of Technology Mitch Horton, University of Tennessee Knoxville Hyun-Wook Jin, Konkuk University Dries Kimpe, KCG Holdings, Inc Michael Kluge, TU Dresden Quincey Koziol, The HDF Group Joshua Ladd, Mellanox Michael Lang, Los Alamos National Laboratory John Leidel, Texas Tech University Zhuo Liu, Yahoo Jay Lofstead, Sandia National Laboratories Sarp Oral, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Balaji Palanisamy, University of Pittsburgh Seung-Woo Son, University of Massachusetts Lowell Jian Tan, Alibaba Wei Tang, Argonne National Laboratory Zhiqi Tao, Intel Corporation Douglas Thain, University of Notre Dame Yandong Wang, IBM Bin Wang, Auburn University Belle Xiang, Huawei Weijun Xiao, Virginia Commonwealth University Pengcheng Xiong, Horton Networks Cong Xu, Intel Peixiang Zhao, Florida State University Fang Zheng, IBM STEERING COMMITTEE Yong Chen, Chair, Texas Tech University William D.
