CALL FOR PAPERS

First International Workshop on
Energy Efficient High-Performance Computing (EEHiPC'10)
held in conjunction with HiPC 2010, Goa, India

=================================================================

Date: December 19, 2010
HiPC 2010: http://www.hipc.org
Workshop URL: http://nsfcac.rutgers.edu/GreenHPC/EEHiPC/
Submission Deadline: September 1, 2010 (23:59 EDT)

SCOPE:

The growing scale of High Performance Computing (HiPC) systems and
enterprise data centers has made issues related to power consumption,
air conditioning, and cooling infrastructures critical concerns in terms
of efficiency and robustness as well as operating costs. Furthermore,
with the advent of Cloud computing consolidated virtualized data centers
are emerging as attractive computing platforms for data- and
compute-intensive applications and provide opportunities for higher
utilization and energy savings. As a result, energy efficiency and the
tradeoffs between energy efficiency and performance have become key
challenges that must be addressed in both, distributed and traditional
performance-oriented infrastructures.

This workshop aims to provide a timely forum for presenting novel idea
and latest findings as well as to discuss research directions and
challenges related to Energy Efficient High Performance Computing
(EEHiPC). We expect to publish papers related to energy efficiency at
different levels, but will have a specific focus on applications and
application formulations, programming systems, abstractions and language
extensions and runtime support.

The workshop will be half day in length, composed of 23 minutes paper
presentations, each followed by 3 minutes for Q/A.

TOPICS of interest include, but are not limited to:

-Energy-aware algorithms and application formulations
   * Energy-aware HiPC applications
   * Energy-efficient application design
   * Algorithms for reduced power, energy and heat

- Energy-aware language abstractions, programming systems
   * Code profiling and transformation for energy efficiency
   * Programming models extensions for energy efficiency

- Energy-aware runtime and middleware
   * Runtime systems for HiPC that assist in power saving
   * Power-aware middleware for HiPC
   * Energy-efficient grid, cloud, and data center technology

- Energy-aware virtualization
   * Energy efficiency and virtualization
   * Energy, performance, quality of service and other resource tradeoffs

- Energy-efficient architectures
   * Power-aware architectures for HiPC
   * Future energy-efficient architectures
   * System-level optimization, cross-layer coordination

PAPER SUBMISSION:

Papers in PDF should be submitted by September 1, 2010 via email to:
irodero AT cac.rutgers.edu

All papers submitted to the workshop will be peer reviewed and authors
will be notified of acceptance/rejection decisions by October 1, 2010.

The workshop advance program will be posted on the workshop's website
well in advance of the workshop. Camera-Ready papers of accepted papers
should be submitted by November 1, 2010.

Manuscript Guidelines for Camera-Ready Papers:

Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may
not exceed 10 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and
references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area
of 6-1/2 inches (16.51 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high,
two-column format with columns 3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm) wide with a 3/8
inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-point Times fully
justified text).

Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without
review. Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and make sure
that the file will print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x 11)
paper. The official language of the meeting is English.

Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should
the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and
attend the HiPC conference to present the work.

Workshop papers will be published as a separate CDROM Proceedings by HiPC.
