========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ========================================================================== International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers *** ROSS 2020 *** Held in conjunction with SC20: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, November 13, 2020 In cooperation with IEEE-CS TCHPC UPDATED: the event will be held virtually; please note the new date and the extended submission deadline! ========================================================================== https://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/ross/2020/ ========================================================================== The complexity of node architectures in supercomputers increases as we cross petaflop milestones on the way towards Exascale. Increasing levels of parallelism in multi- and many-core chips and emerging heterogeneity of computational resources coupled with energy and memory constraints force a reevaluation of our approaches towards operating systems and runtime environments. The ROSS workshop, to be held virtually as a full-day event in conjunction with the SC20 conference, focuses on principles and techniques to design, implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems for supercomputers and massively parallel machines. In addition to typical workshop publications, we encourage novel and possibly immature ideas, provided that they are interesting and on-topic. Well argued position papers are also welcome. TOPICS OF INTEREST: ------------------- - OS and runtime system scalability on many-node and multi/many-core systems - management of heterogeneous and reconfigurable compute resources, including FPGAs, GPUs, etc. - distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSes and runtime systems for Supercomputing - system noise analysis and prevention - interaction between middleware, runtime system, and the OS - modeling and performance analysis of runtime systems - the use of AI techniques in the autotuning of system software - OS and runtime considerations for large-volume, high-performance I/O - memory management and emerging memory technologies - OS and runtime aspects of HPC in the cloud, including virtualization and containers - the role of OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage SCHEDULE AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: ---------------------------------- Submission deadline: August 28, 2020 (extended) Author notification: September 25, 2020 Final papers due: October 9, 2020 Workshop date: November 13, 2020 (new date) We are planning to publish the ROSS workshop proceedings electronically via the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted using the IEEE template conference mode. The maximum paper length is 8 pages, not including references and other appendices. All papers must be in English. Please visit the workshop website for further instructions and the submission link.
