DISCS 2014 - International Workshop on Data Intensive Scalable Computing Systems

Existing high performance computing (HPC) systems are designed primarily for workloads requiring high rates of computation. However, the widening performance gap between processors and I/O systems, and trends toward higher data intensity in scientific and engineering applications, suggest there is a need to rethink HPC system architectures, programming models, runtime systems, and tools with a focus on data intensive computing. The Third International Workshop on Data Intensive Scalable Computing Systems (DISCS) builds on the momentum generated by DISCS-2012 and DISCS-2013, providing a forum for researchers and other interested people in the areas of data intensive computing and high performance parallel computing to exchange ideas and discuss approaches for addressing the challenges facing Big Data or data intensive computing at large scale.
The topics of interest for the DISCS-2014 workshop include, but are not limited to:
HPC system architectures for data intensive applications
Programming models supporting data intensive applications
Runtime systems supporting data intensive applications
Productivity tools supporting data intensive applications
The primary goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and other interested people in the areas of data intensive computing and high performance parallel computing to exchange ideas and discuss approaches for addressing the challenges facing data intensive computing at the extreme scale.
The workshop begins with a keynote address, followed by the presentation of peer-reviewed research papers describing innovative ideas for addressing data intensive computing challenges, with ample opportunity for informal discussion throughout the day.
