<div dir="ltr"><div>The 2nd HPC I/O in the Data Center Workshop (HPC-IODC 2016) in
conjunction with ISC High Performance 2016 on June 25th, 2016, in
Frankfurt, Germany. </div><div><a href="http://wr.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/events/2016/iodc" target="_blank">http://wr.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/events/2016/iodc</a></div><div><br></div><div>** Overview **</div><div>Managing
scientific data at large scale is challenging for scientists but also
for the host data center. The storage and file systems deployed within a
data center are expected to meet users' requirements for data integrity
and high performance across heterogeneous and concurrently running
applications.</div><div><br></div><div>With new storage technologies and
layers in the memory hierarchy, the picture is becoming murkier. To
effectively manage the data load within a data center, I/O experts must
understand how users expect to use these new storage technologies and
what services they should provide in order to enhance user productivity.
We seek to ensure a systems-level perspective is included in these
discussions.</div><div>In this workshop we bring together I/O experts
from data centers and application workflows to share current practices
for scientific workflows, issues and obstacles for both hardware and the
software stack, and R&D to overcome these issues.</div><div><br></div><div>The workshop content is build on two tracks:</div><div>1) research paper presentation – you'll need to submit a short paper regarding relevant research for I/O in the datacenter.</div><div>2) talks from I/O experts – you'll need to submit a rough outline for your talk.</div><div>Contributions
to both tracks are peer reviewed and require submission of the
respective research paper or idea for your presentation via Easychair:</div><div><a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpciodc2016" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpciodc2016</a></div><div><br></div><div>** Track: research papers **</div><div>We
accept short papers with up to 8 pages (excl. references) in LNCS
format. Our targeted proceedings are ISC's post-conference workshop
proceedings in Springers LNCS.</div><div><br></div><div>Paper Deadlines</div><div>- Submission deadline: 28-02-2016 AoE</div><div>- Author notification: 23-03-2016</div><div>- Workshop: 23-05-2016</div><div>- Camera-ready papers: 23-06-2016 </div><div><br></div><div>** Track: Talks by I/O experts **</div><div>The topics of interest in this track include but are not limited to:</div><div>- A description of the operational aspects of your data center</div><div>- A particular solution for certain data center workloads in production</div><div>If you are interested to participate, please submit a short (1/2 page) abstract of your talk together with a short Bio.</div><div><br></div><div>Abstract Deadlines:</div><div>- Submission deadline: 28-02-2016 AoE</div><div>- Author notification: 23-03-2016</div><div><br></div><div>** Organization **</div><div>The workshop is organized by</div><div>- Julian Kunkel (DKRZ, Germany)</div><div>- Jay Lofstead (Sandia National Lab, USA)</div><div>- Colin McMurtrie (CSCS, Switzerland)</div><div><br></div><div>** Program Committee **</div><div>Our program committee will be announced soon.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div>Julian Kunkel</div><div class=""><div id=":1c2" class="" tabindex="0"></div></div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><a href="http://wr.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/people/julian_kunkel" target="_blank">http://wr.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/people/julian_kunkel</a></div>
