CALL FOR PAPERS : HPC-GECO - CompFrame Workshop
Joint Workshop on HPC Grid programming Environments and COmponents
and Component Frameworks for High Performance Computing
Paris, 19-20 June 2006. In conjunction with HPDC-15
Web URL: http://www.di.unipi.it/~hpc-geco/GECO-CompFrame06.html
HPC-GECO - CompFrame is a joint workshop on high-level programming
environments and component-based programming for HPC and Grid
Computing. The workshop will present results from two related research
lines: High-level approaches and Component Frameworks for Grid-enabled
HPC, and Component Frameworks in HPC. The Workshop is sponsored by the
FP6 Network of Excellence CoreGRID.
Component-based approaches to software development are beginning to
emerge in high-performance parallel and distributed computing. HPC
environments pose special challenges on designers and users of
component architectures. Grid-based HPC environments, which deal with
heterogeneous, dynamic and sparse sets of resources, pose an even more
daunting challenge to the deployment of HPC applications.
HPC-GECO/CompFrame is open to research works, both of theoretical and
experimental nature, on the mechanics and architecture of high-level
and component environments, on comparisons of current approaches and
results, on user experiences, prototypes and application case studies.
The workshop focuses on the impact of the programming / design
methodology on the software development process and on applications:
relevant metrics are programmability, scalability and manageable
complexity of applications, as well as fulfillment of application
requirements of high performance, fault tolerance, and the ability to
support dynamically adaptive behaviour.
Submissions are welcome of original contribution, not already
published or under simultaneous review; works will be reviewed by the
program committee. Workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE
together with HPDC-15 proceedings. See details on the workshop web
site.
Relevant topics for the workshop include but are not limited to :
* Component models and frameworks
* Component-based Grid Platforms
* Programming environments and paradigms
* Analysis and comparison of existing programming approaches
* Integration of different distributed/Grid/HPC programming frameworks
* Tools and Environments for Parallel Coupling of Application Codes
* Application-level and support-level management of performance, QoS,
faults, dynamicity, architecture heterogeneity
* Application-level QoS contract description and enforcement
* Advanced middleware systems as a device to efficiently exploit Grid
resources (e.g. high-bandwidth, innovative networks)
* Case studies and experiments of large/geographic scale high-level
HPC applications, large-scale data/analysis
* Applicability of software engineering techniques for restructuring
and integration
