ROSS 2018 - International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers

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
management of heterogeneous and reconfigurable compute resources, including FPGAs, GPUs, etc.
distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSes and runtime systems for Supercomputing
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
memory management and emerging memory technologies
the role of OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage
