PAPER DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FRI JUNE 24!

WHAT: 4th Workshop on Resiliency in High Performance Computing (Resilience)

in Clusters, Clouds, and Grids

Due to multiple requests, we have extended the paper submission

deadline to Fri June 24 2011.

Camera ready deadline is after the workshop.

DETAILS:

Clusters, Clouds, and Grids are three different computational paradigms

with the intent or potential to support High Performance Computing

(HPC). Currently, they consist of hardware, management, and usage models

particular to different computational regimes, e.g., high performance

cluster systems designed to support tightly coupled scientific

simulation codes typically utilize high-speed interconnects and

commercial cloud systems designed to support software as a service (SAS)

do not. However, in order to support HPC, all must at least utilize

large numbers of resources and hence effective HPC in any of these

paradigms must address the issue of resiliency at large-scale.

Recent trends in HPC systems have clearly indicated that future

increases in performance, in excess of those resulting from improvements

in single- processor performance, will be achieved through corresponding

increases in system scale, i.e., using a significantly larger component

count. As the raw computational performance of these HPC systems

increases from today's tera- and peta-scale to next-generation multi

peta-scale capability and beyond, their number of computational,

networking, and storage components will grow from the ten-to-one-hundred

thousand compute nodes of today's systems to several hundreds of

thousands of compute nodes and more in the foreseeable future. This

substantial growth in system scale, and the resulting component count,

poses a challenge for HPC system and application software with respect

to fault tolerance and resilience.

Furthermore, recent experiences on extreme-scale HPC systems with

non-recoverable soft errors, i.e., bit flips in memory, cache,

registers, and logic added another major source of concern. The

probability of such errors not only grows with system size, but also

with increasing architectural vulnerability caused by employing

accelerators, such as FPGAs and GPUs, and by shrinking nanometer

technology. Reactive fault tolerance technologies, such as

checkpoint/restart, are unable to handle high failure rates due to

associated overheads, while proactive resiliency technologies, such as

migration, simply fail as random soft errors can't be predicted.

Moreover, soft errors may even remain undetected resulting in silent

data corruption.

attendees. Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research

that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal.

Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review

and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to)

notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and

sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date,

exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be

considered. The proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS as
