P2S2 2020 - CALL FOR PAPERS
==============================================================

The Thirteenth International Workshop on Parallel Programming Models and Systems
Software for High-End Computing (P2S2)

August 17th, 2020, Edmonton, AB, Canada

To be held in conjunction with ICPP 2020: The 49th International Conference on
Parallel Processing.

Website: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/p2s2/2020/


SCOPE
-----
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are at the forefront of parallel programming models and systems software for high-end computing. Please join us in a discussion of new ideas, experiences, challenges, and the latest trends in these areas at the workshop. Topics related to the programming models and software for emerging high-performance architectures (e.g., FPGA, ASIC) are especially welcome.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
The focus areas for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

* Systems software for high-end scientific and enterprise computing architectures
- Communication sub-subsystems for high-end computing
- High-performance file and storage systems
- Fault-tolerance techniques and implementations
- Efficient and high-performance virtualization and other management mechanisms for high-end computing

* Programming models and their high-performance implementations
- MPI, Sockets, OpenMP, Global Arrays, X10, UPC, CAF, Chapel, and others
- Programming models for accelerators such as OpenCL and OpenACC
- Hybrid Programming Models
- Domain specific language or high-level frameworks for performance portability

* Tools for Management, Maintenance, Coordination and Synchronization
- Software for Enterprise Data-centers using Modern Architectures
- Job scheduling libraries
- Management libraries for large-scale system
- Toolkits for process and task coordination on modern platforms

* Performance evaluation, analysis and modeling of emerging computing platforms


PROCEEDINGS
-----------
Proceedings of this workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library and will be
available at the conference (together with the ICPP conference proceedings).
