ROSS 2014 - International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers

International Workshop on
Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers
ROSS 2014
Held in conjunction with ICS 2014, Munich, Germany, June 10, 2014
Scope
The complexity of node architectures in supercomputers increases as we cross petaflop milestones on the way towards Exascale. Increasing levels of parallelism in multi- and many-core chips and emerging heterogeneity of computational resources coupled with energy and memory constraints force a reevaluation of our approaches towards operating systems and runtime environments. The International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers provides a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and discuss research questions that are relevant to upcoming supercomputers.
Topics of Interest
The topics include, but are not limited to:
OS and runtime system scalability on many-node and multi/many-core systems
specialized OSs for Supercomputing
distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSs and runtime systems for Supercomputing
fault tolerance
system noise analysis and prevention
interaction between middleware, runtime system, and the OS
modeling and performance analysis of runtime systems
OS and runtime considerations for large-volume, high-performance I/O
parallel job startup
memory management and emerging memory technologies
the role of OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage
real-time considerations for Supercomputing
