HiPINEB 2016 - 2nd IEEE International Workshop on High-Performance Interconnection Networks in the Exascale and Big-Data Era

The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on High-Performance Interconnection Networks in the Exascale and Big-Data Era
Held in conjunction with IEEE HPCA 2016
March 12, 2016. Barcelona, Spain
The main goal of the second HiPINEB workshop is to gather and discuss in a full-day event the latest and most prominent efforts and advances, both from industry and academia, in the design and development of scalable high-performance interconnection networks, especially those oriented to meet the Exascale challenge and Big-data demands.
Main Topics
The list of topics covered by this workshop includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Interconnect architectures and network technologies for high-speed, low-latency interconnects.
Scalable network topologies, suitable for interconnecting a huge number of nodes.
Power saving policies in the interconnect devices and network infrastructure, both at software and hardware level.
Emerging ideas, work-in-progress and early, high-impact achievements.
Good practices in the configuration of the network control software.
Network communication protocols: MPI, RDMA, Hadoop, etc.
APIs and support for programming models.
Routing algorithms.
Quality of Service (QoS).
Reliability and Fault tolerance.
Load balancing and traffic scheduling.
Network Virtualization.
Congestion Management.
Applications and Traffic characterization.
Modeling and simulation tools.
Performance Evaluation.
