HPPAC 2011 - The Seventh Workshop on High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing

CALL FOR PAPERS



Seventh IEEE Workshop on
High-Performance, Power-Aware Computing (HP-PAC)

May 16, 2011

to be held in conjunction with IPDPS
May 16 - 20, 2011
Anchorage, Alaska, USA


SCOPE


High-performance computing is and has always been performance-oriented.

However, a consequence of the push towards maximum performance is

increased energy consumption, especially in datacenters and

supercomputing centers. Moreover, as peak performance is rarely

attained, some of this energy consumption results in little or no

performance gain. In addition, large energy consumption costs

datacenters and supercomputing centers a significant amount of

money and wastes natural resources.

The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the

exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in

high-performance, power-aware computing (HPPAC). HPPAC will present

research that reduces (1) power consumption, (2) energy consumption,

or (3) heat generation with little or no performance penalty in

high-performance computing systems. In effect, the workshop aims to

move towards "greener" solutions for datacenters and supercomputing

centers.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following.

. Novel power-aware architectures for HPC

. Power-aware middleware for HPC

. Power-aware runtime systems for HPC

. Reduced power/energy/heat algorithms & applications

. Surveys or studies of power/energy/heat usage of HPC applications

PROCEEDINGS


The proceedings of this workshop will be published together with

the proceedings of other IPDPS '10 workshops by the IEEE Computer

Society Press.
