The 7th Workshop on
Multi-core and Rack-scale Systems
co-located with Eurosys 2017 23 April 2017, Belgrade, Serbia
TopicsModern multi-core and
accelerator-rich architectures present a variety of challenges for
system developers.
To achieve high performance on these platforms, application developers
will need to exploit parallelism and leverage low-level hardware
features to a much greater extent than before. At the same time, these
traits are transcending single host systems as emerging integrated
fabric technologies enable disaggregated rack-scale system designs in
data centers, with hundreds of GB/s, sub-microsecond interconnects
blurring traditional machine boundaries. The workshop (a
second year consolidated workshop of the successful SFMA and WRSC) brings together researchers in operating systems, language
runtime, virtual machine and architecture communities to present and
discuss their system building experiences with the new generations of parallel and
heterogeneous hardware. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - novel multi-core operating system designs,
- runtime systems and programming environments for future hardware,
- OS or runtime support for heterogeneous processing cores,
- scheduling on many-core architectures,
- hybrid scale-up/scale-out system designs
- energy efficiency, fault tolerance and resource management on future multi-core architectures,
- performance evaluation of potential future hardware,
- architectural support for systems-level software, and
- case studies of system-level software design for current or future multi-core hardware.
Publication policy
The papers will be distributed to workshop participants via the website, but will not be published via ACM Digital Library with the aim to encourage the submission of early-stage work soliciting feedback from the community. This policy allows later submission to more formal venues, e.g.,
EuroSys, OSDI, or ISCA.
Workshop formatWe
plan to have 4-6 presentations of accepted papers, and 3 keynote
speakers with world-established expertise in the field of interest for the workshop. The
workshop will conclude with a panel discussion.
Paper submissionAuthors are invited to submit original and unpublished work that
exposes a new problem, advocates a specific solution, or reports on
actual experience. The submissions are of two types: short papers (5 pages) or position papers (1-2 pages), not including references. Papers should be submitted using the standard
two-column ACM SIG proceedings or SIG alternate
template.
Paper submission is single-blind.
