FTXS 2017 - Washington, D.C.

UPDATE: Deadline for submissions extended to April 8th.

The 7th Workshop on Fault Tolerance for HPC at eXtreme Scale (FTXS) 2017

Workshop Keynote

John Daly - Laboratory for Physical Sciences

Faults and How to Live With Them

Workshop Agenda

Submission Essential Information

Submissions are expected in the following categories:

• Regular papers presenting innovative ideas improving the state of the art in resilience, reliability, dependability, and/or fault-tolerance at the extreme scale.

• Experience papers discussing the issues seen on existing extreme-scale systems, including analysis, evaluation, and interpretation.

Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of a maximum of eight (8) pages for normal papers and six (6) pages for experience papers. Please follow the US Letter guidelines for ACM Proceedings Style.

Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.

Submit a paper.
