CALL FOR PAPERS: The Twelfth IEEE Workshop on High-Performance Power-Aware Computing (HPPAC) May 27th, 2016, Chicago Held in conjunction with IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS) Power and energy are now recognized as first-order constraints in high-performance computing. Optimizing performance under power and energy bounds requires coordination across not only the software stack (compilers, operating and runtime systems, job schedulers) but also coordination with cooling systems and outwards to electrical suppliers. As we continue to move towards exascale and extreme scale computing, understanding how power translates to performance becomes an increasingly critical problem. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum where cutting-edge research in the above topic can be shared with others in the community. As such, while we welcome full (10 page) papers as in previous years, we are now also soliciting short papers (4 pages max). While both should conform to the list of topics below, short papers will be judged primarily on their interest to the community. As such, these may be position papers, initial results, open problems, software announcements, or interesting work that does not reach the level of a full-paper treatment. All papers will be subject to single-blind peer review, and the quality of both the short and standard papers is expected to be high. Topics of particular interest include (but are not limited to): * Performance optimization across node, job, cluster and site power bounds. * Power/performance tradeoffs across accelerators, processors and DRAM. * Cooling/performance tradeoffs. * Translating budgetary bounds into power and energy bounds. * Efficient system design, from computer center to silicon * Effects of compiler optimizations on code power and energy efficiency * Power- and energy-aware job schedulers, runtime systems and operating systems. * Models of power and performance, from processors to computer centers. * Evaluations of hardware power and energy controls Important dates: Full papers (10 pages max): Deadline: Jan. 22nd Automatic Extension: Jan. 29th Author notification: Feb. 12th Camera-ready copy: Feb. 26th Short papers (4 pages max): Deadline: Jan. 29th Automatic Extension: Feb. 5th Author notification: Feb. 19th Camera-ready copy: Feb. 26th All dates are AOE ("Anywhere on earth"). Paper submissions: Submissions should follow the IEEE Conference Proceedings templates found at http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Camera-ready copy will need to conform to IPDPS guidelines; these will be announced during author notification.
