Workshop Topics
Authors are invited to submit original papers on the research and practice of fault-tolerance in extreme-scale distributed systems (primarily HPC systems, but including grid and cloud systems). Resilience and fault-tolerance remain a major concern for supercomputing and advances in this area are needed to allow applications to compute accurate (or within an acceptable error tolerance) answers in a timely and efficient manner in the presence of degradations or failures of platform components (both hardware and software).
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Failure data analysis and field studies
Power, performance, resilience (PPR) assessments / tradeoffs
Novel fault-tolerance techniques and implementations
Emerging hardware and software technology for resilience
Silent data corruption (SDC) detection / correction techniques
Advances in reliability monitoring, analysis, and control of highly complex systems
Failure prediction, error preemption, and recovery techniques
Fault-tolerant programming models
Models for software and hardware reliability
Metrics and standards for measuring, improving, and enforcing effective fault-tolerance
Scalable Byzantine fault-tolerance and security from single-fault and fail-silent violations
Atmospheric evaluations relevant to HPC systems (terrestrial neutrons, temperature, voltage, etc.)
Near-threshold-voltage implications and evaluations for reliability
Benchmarks and experimental environments including fault injection
Frameworks and APIs for fault-tolerance and fault management
Submission Details
Submissions are solicited in the following categories:
Regular papers presenting innovative ideas improving the state of the art or discussing the issues seen on existing extreme-scale systems, including some form of analysis and evaluation.
Extended abstracts proposing disruptive ideas and challenging assumptions in the field, including some form of preliminary results.
Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and given shorter oral presentations.
Submissions shall be sent electronically and must conform to SC18 proceedings style. Regular papers should not exceed ten (10) pages including all text, appendices, figures, and references. Extended abstract papers should not exceed six (6) pages. Please note that we have only placed a limit on the maximum number of pages that a submission may contain. Papers that are clear, coherent, and complete (with the understanding that the submission may represent a work-in-progress) but are shorter than this maximum are encouraged.
Papers should be submitted to: https://submissions.supercomputing.org. A sample submission form is available (TBD)
Submitted papers will be peer-reviewer and will receive a minimum of three reviews. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE TCHPC (and included in IEEE Xplore).
Authors are encouraged to include reproducibility artifacts as described on the conference website:
https://sc19.supercomputing.org/submit/sc-reproducibility-initiative
Inclusion of reproducibility artifacts is optional.
