ExaMPI 2013 - Workshop on Exascale MPI

The MPI design and its main implementations have proved surprisingly scalable. Some definite issues that hampered scalability have been addressed in the MPI 2.1 ? 2.2 definition process, and continued into MPI 3.0. Thus MPI has been robust, and been able to evolve, without fundamentally changing the model and specification. For this and many other reasons MPI is currently the de-facto standard for HPC systems and applications.
However, there is a need for re-examination of the message-passing model for extreme-scale systems characterized by asymptotically decreasing local memory and highly localized communication networks. Likewise, there is a need for exploring new innovative and potentially disruptive concepts and algorithms partially to explore other roads than those taken by the recently released MPI 3.0 standard.
The aim of workshop is to bring together developers and researchers to present and discuss innovative algorithms and concepts in Message Passing programming models, in particular related to MPI.
Topics of interest (but are not limited to):
Development of scalable Message Passing collective operations.
Communication topology mapping interfaces and algorithms.
Innovative algorithms for scheduling/routing to avoid network congestion.
Integrated use of structured data layout descriptors.
One-sided communication models and RDMA-based MPI.
MPI and threading and threading requirements to OS.
Interoperability of Message Passing and PGAS models.
Integration of task-parallel models into Message Passing models.
Fault tolerance in MPI.
MPI I/O.
