ParaMo Workshop 2021

Welcome to ParaMo Workshop 2021

The notion of cloud computing has changed the way how we utilize computing resources. Since High Performance Computing (HPC) has long been suffered from under- or over-utilization of resources, many researchers are trying to adapt HPC applications, such as AI, big data, and computational science, to the cloud environment. With proper adaptation, HPC applications are able to enhance their resource utilization ratio and scalability by using virtualized and on-demand resources on clouds. While we discuss HPC on clouds, we should discuss the parallel programming models as well. Various parallel programming models and their frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, MapReduce, MPI, OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA) have been proposed for parallel computing. These parallel programming models and frameworks should be carefully designed for HPC applications to achieve high-performance and efficient resource usage in clouds as new architectures and workloads are emerging. For example, we have to address data locality [1], resource management [2, 3], programming environments and algorithms [4, 5, 6]. The ParaMo workshop will provide a venue for researchers to discuss such challenges to parallel programming models in high-performance cloud.
