10th Workshop on UnConventional High Performance Computing(UCHPC 2017)
August 28-29, 2017
Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Call for Papers:
Recent issues with the power consumption of conventional HPC hardware results in both new interest in accelerator hardware and in usage of mass-market hardware originally not designed for HPC. The most prominent examples are GPUs, but FPGAs, DSPs and embedded designs are also possible candidates to provide higher power efficiency, as they are used in energy-restriced environments, such as smartphones or tablets. The so-called "dark silicon" forecast, i.e. not all transistors may be active at the same time, may lead to even more specialized hardware in future mass-market products. Exploiting this hardware for HPC can be a worthwhile challenge.
Topics:
- Innovative use of hardware and software unconventional for HPC
- HPC applications in connection with HPC on GPUs (GPGPU), low power/embedded processors, FPGAs, Intel's Xeon Phi architecture, Tilera's tile-based many-core processors, AMDs HSA/hUMA concept, Processing in Memory (PIM), accelerators, etc.
- Cluster/Grid solutions using unconventional hardware, e.g. clusters of game consoles, nodes using GPUs, Low Power/Embedded Processors, MPSoCs, new many-cores from Intel and/or ARM designs, Mac Minis/AppleTVs, FPGAs etc.
- Heterogeneous computing on hybrid platforms
- Performance and scalability studies in HPC using unconventional hardware
- Reconfigurable Computing for HPC
- Performance modeling, analysis and tools for HPC with unconventional hardware
- (Yet) Unconventional programming models for HPC, including PGAS, task-based or data-flow concepts (and supporting tools)
- Big data and/or deep learning using unconventional HPC hardware or software
