ALCHEMY Workshop 2018

Held in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2018)

Wuxi, China, 11-13 June 2018

The International Conference on Computational Science is an annual conference that brings together researchers and scientists

from mathematics and computer science as basic computing disciplines, researchers from various application areas who are pioneering

computational methods in sciences such as physics, chemistry, life sciences, and engineering, as well as in arts and humanitarian fields,

to discuss problems and solutions in the area, to identify new issues, and to shape future directions for research.

Call for Papers

The future aims toward increasing parallelism and heterogeneity of

systems to tackle the so-called power-wall while permitting a roadmap

of increased performance. Several challenges rise for programming such

systems. The ALCHEMY workshop goal is to show some of these relevant

challenges and finding ways to tackle them, while permitting programmers

to focus on important part of application designs and letting compilers

or runtime optimization do most of the work toward good performance.

The ALCHEMY workshop is the Many-core track of ICCS. It is also a good

place of exchange between the traditional HPC domain of research and

all the emerging HPES (High Performance Embedded Systems) domain, since

the programming issues are mostly the same, with a relatively high

cost of communication and the difficulty to program hundreds of cores

often under performance and power usage constraints.

Original high quality submission are encouraged on all topics related to

many-core programming issues including (but not limited to):

Topics

* High-level Programming

* Programming models and languages for many-cores

* Compilers for programming languages

* Runtime generation for parallel programming on manycores

* Handling heterogeneity in many-cores

* Operational research and optimizations

* Application, runtime, system and hardware sizing

* Task scheduling

* Task placement, application mapping

* System and runtime

* New operating systems, dedicated OS

* Dedicated runtimes for manycores

* Shared memory, data consistency models and protocols

* Hardware architecture

* Architecture support for massive parallelism management

* Enhanced communications

* Security

* Accelerators for security

* Crypto systems for manycores

* In-situ systems and user experimentations

* User feedback on existing manycore architectures

* Many-core integration within HPC systems (micro-servers)

* Coping with heterogeneity

Important dates

Submission deadline : February 15, 2018

Submission

The manuscripts of 10-14 pages, written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS templates,

should be submitted electronically via EasyChair. Templates are available for download in EasyChair horizontal menu “Templates”.

Papers must be based on unpublished original work and must be submitted to ICCS only.

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.
