<br>
Peta- and exascale computing infrastructures make unprecedented
demands on storage capacity, performance, concurrency,
reliability, availability, and manageability. This one-day
workshop focuses on the data storage and management problems and
emerging solutions found in peta- and exascale scientific
computing environments, with special attention to issues in which
community collaboration can be crucial for problem identification,
workload capture, solution interoperability, standards with
community buy-in, and shared tools. Addressing storage media
ranging from tape, HDD, and SSD, to new media like NVRAM, the
workshop seeks contributions on relevant topics, including but not
limited to:<br>
<br>
- performance and benchmarking<br>
- failure tolerance problems and solutions<br>
- APIs for high performance features<br>
- parallel file systems<br>
- high bandwidth storage architectures<br>
- support for high velocity or complex data<br>
- metadata intensive workloads<br>
- autonomics for HPC storage<br>
- virtualization for storage systems<br>
- archival storage advances<br>
- resource management innovations<br>
- incorporation of emerging storage technologies.<br>
<br>
Paper Submissions:<br>
The Parallel Data Storage Workshop holds a peer reviewed
competitive process for selecting short papers. Submit a not
previously published short paper of up to 5 pages, not less than
10 point font and not including references, in a PDF file as
instructed on the workshop web site. Submitted papers will be
reviewed under the supervision of the workshop program committee.
Submissions should indicate authors and affiliations. Final papers
must not be longer than 5 pages (excluding references). Selected
papers and associated talk slides will be made available on the
workshop web site; the papers will also be published in the
digital library of the IEEE or ACM.<br>
<br>
Paper Submission Deadline: Sun, Oct. 6, 2013, 11:59 pm EDT<br>
Paper Notification: Fri, Oct. 25, 2013<br>
Camera Ready Due: Wed, Nov. 13, 2013<br>
Softcopy and Slides Due: Sat, Nov. 16, 2013, 5:00 pm ET, BEFORE
the workshop<br>
<br>
Poster Submissions:<br>
There will also be a poster session at the workshop; accepted
papers will ALWAYS be accepted for a poster. Others interested in
presenting a related technical poster (posters with technical
results for storage products are also encouraged) should submit a
short poster abstract as instructed on the workshop web site.<br>
