Each workshop will develop a program within the context of the conference, and set requirements and create a schedule for submissions. Registration fees for the workshops will be included as part of the conference registration fee. Importat Dates: Submission Deadline: March 7th, 2011 Notification: Notification will be send out within one week after proposal submission Content: We welcome proposals for workshops related to all aspects of cluster computing and high performance computing. Workshops are expected to host work that is more cutting-edge, preliminary and that has more practical content than the more mature research presented in the main conference. The workshops should complement the main conference with broadened and extended content. The workshops may also simultaneously deepen the week's presentations at IEEE Cluster 2011 by focusing on special topics, or by bringing together a critical mass of researchers in selected areas of interest. For peer-reviewed workshops, workshop papers will appear as part of the IEEE Cluster 2009 proceedings. Proposals: Please submit a proposal of up to 2 pages including the following information: - Title of the workshop - Organizers and their affiliations - Sample call for papers, including the workshop's main topics - Expected duration of the workshop; i.e., 1/2 day or full day - If the workshop was previously held, the number of published papers and attendees at the last workshop Please send submissions and specific questions to workshops at ieeecluster.org. General questions about the workshops can be sent to the Cluster 2011 organizers at help at ieeecluster.org. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At full production scale PRObE will provide at least two 1024 node clusters, one of 200 nodes, and some smaller machines with extreme core count and bleeding edge technology. The first of these clusters are being constructed now and will be available this year. The large clusters are retired equipment donated by DOE national laboratories. Researchers will have complete control of the hardware (can replace all levels of software, including the OS kernel, and inject both hardware and software failures) while they are running experiments with dedicated resources for days or perhaps weeks. The PRObE remote access environment will be based on the Emulab testbed-management software developed by the University of Utah (www.emulab.net). Probe is targeted at the needs of systems researchers in three communities: - high-end or high performance computing, often publishing in the Supercomputing conference (SC), - data-intensive scalable computing, often publishing in the Operating System Design and Implementation conference (OSDI), and - data and storage systems for both, often publishing in the File and Storage Technologies conference (FAST). We seek nominations for the steering and project selection committee advising PRObE leadership on policies and proposals for allocation of PRObE facilities to research projects. We seek leading systems researchers with experience and continuing interest in large scale research experiments and publishing. In addition to reviewing and advising PRObE leadership on policies and strategic decisions, this committee will allocate resources to proposed projects it deems most compelling. Please nominate, on or before May 8, 2011, qualified candidates using the web form: http://newmexicoconsortium.org/probe/committee-nominations Nominated candidates will be elected using a web voting mechanism on the same web site between May 9 and May 22, 2011. PRObE is a collaborative effort by the New Mexico Consortium (NMC), Los Alamos National Laboratory, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Utah. It is housed at NMC in the Los Alamos Research Park.

Apologies for redundancies in your inbox.] John From: Garth Gibson [mailto:garth at cs.cmu.edu] Sent: Monday, April 18, 2011 9:56 AM To: The PRObE Management Group Subject: Re: Draft call for (more) nominations -- comments soliticied CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: Steering and Project Selection Committee for NSF PRObE testbed (http://newmexicoconsortium.org/probe) The NSF-funded Parallel Reconfigurable Observational Environment (PRObE) facility will be making thousands of computers (newmexicoconsortium.org/probe/machines) available to systems researchers for dedicated use in experiments that are not possible or compelling at a smaller scale. At full production scale PRObE will provide at least two 1024 node clusters, one of 200 nodes, and some smaller machines with extreme core count and bleeding edge technology. The first of these clusters are being constructed now and will be available this year. The large clusters are retired equipment donated by DOE national laboratories. Researchers will have complete control of the hardware (can replace all levels of software, including the OS kernel, and inject both hardware and software failures) while they are running experiments with dedicated resources for days or perhaps weeks. The PRObE remote access environment will be based on the Emulab testbed-management software developed by the University of Utah (www.emulab.net). Probe is targeted at the needs of systems researchers in three communities: - high-end or high performance computing, often publishing in the Supercomputing conference (SC), - data-intensive scalable computing, often publishing in the Operating System Design and Implementation conference (OSDI), and - data and storage systems for both, often publishing in the File and Storage Technologies conference (FAST). We seek nominations for the steering and project selection committee advising PRObE leadership on policies and proposals for allocation of PRObE facilities to research projects. We seek leading systems researchers with experience and continuing interest in large scale research experiments and publishing. In addition to reviewing and advising PRObE leadership on policies and strategic decisions, this committee will allocate resources to proposed projects it deems most compelling. Please nominate, on or before May 8, 2011, qualified candidates using the web form: http://newmexicoconsortium.org/probe/committee-nominations Nominated candidates will be elected using a web voting mechanism on the same web site between May 9 and May 22, 2011. PRObE is a collaborative effort by the New Mexico Consortium (NMC), Los Alamos National Laboratory, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Utah. It is housed at NMC in the Los Alamos Research Park. PRObE's leadership team includes: - Gary Grider, Los Alamos National Laboratory - Andree Jacobson, New Mexico Consortium - Katharine Chartrand, New Mexico Consortium - Garth Gibson, Carnegie Mellon University and Panasas Inc. - Robert Ricci, University of Utah -- Thanks, John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I assume it has broader applicability than the PROBE > project, but the list description is missing from majordomo (or, rather, > tautologous). > Hey John, Thanks for pointing out the need for this introduction and also for realizing and pointing out that HEC-FSIO is much larger than the PRObE project. HEC-FSIO is a community of researchers interested in file systems and I/O (FSIO) for large supercomputers (High-end computers: HEC). Some of you on the mailing list may not actually be interested in HEC-FSIO but you're on the list bec we hope you'll join the community. There is a committee, comprised of government types like myself, which does the following: One, we periodically meet and create documents describing what we believe are the large challenges in this area (e.g http://institutes.lanl.gov/hec-fsio/docs/HEC-FSIO-FY09-Workshop-Document.pdf). Two, we use these documents to help funding agencies write RFP's and we help in the subsequent selection of proposals. Three, we organize an annual workshop where we have invited keynote speakers, panel sessions, talks from funded proposals, and solicit the community's help in creating next year's document describing our large challenges. We update our list of outstanding challenges annually so we can reappraise and ask the community for help making sure we're aware of all related work and don't ask researchers to reinvent any wheels. Four, we have this mailing list which we sometimes repurpose for related announcements such as the one about PRObE. More information about HEC-FSIO is available here: http://institutes.lanl.gov/hec-fsio/ While I have the attention of you who are still reading, I'll take this opportunity to remind you (I say remind because I hope you received my previous email about this) about this year's workshop. Formal invitations and the registration link will be sent at the beginning of the summer but you can mark your calendars now: Monday August 8 starting at 9 AM through Wednesday August 10 ending at noon in Arlington, VA Previous workshops' agendas and presentations are available: http://institutes.lanl.gov/hec-fsio/conferences/ Hope this helps. I'll take an edit pass at the majordomo list description to expand it a bit beyond "This is the majordomo list description for hec-fsio at lanl.gov." -- Thanks, John From zhaom at cis.fiu.edu Sun Apr 24 06:46:25 2011 From: zhaom at cis.fiu.edu (Ming Zhao) Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2011 06:46:25 -0400 Subject: [Storage-research-list] SNAPI2011 Early Registration Deadline Extended (7th IEEE International Workshop on Storage Network Architecture and Parallel I/O) Message-ID: <20110424145607.93A50B8867C@cheetah.cs.fiu.edu> Updates: * Early registration deadline extended to April 29th, 2011. ======================================================================== Call for Participation 7th IEEE International Workshop on Storage Network Architecture and Parallel I/Os (SNAPI 2011) http://snapi2011.cis.fiu.edu May 25, 2011 Denver, Colorado, USA In conjunction with the 27th IEEE Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies (MSST 2011) ======================================================================== SNAPI 2011, the 7th IEEE International Workshop on Storage Network Architecture and Parallel I/O, will highlight the latest research in the architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of local and networked storage and parallel I/O systems.

The 'Get Ready for Gordon - Summer Institute' will be held August 8-11 at SDSC, at the northwest end of the UC San Diego campus. The four-day workshop is designed to familiarize potential users with Gordon's unique capabilities for high-performance, data-intensive computing. Gordon is the result of a five-year, $20 million award from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The team will start accepting allocation requests this fall, with production startup set for January 1, 2012. Gordon will be the first high-performance supercomputer to use large amounts of flash-based SSD (solid state drive) memory. Flash memory is more common in smaller devices such as mobile phones and laptop computers, but unique for supercomputers, which generally use slower spinning-disk technology. With 250 trillion bytes of flash memory and 64 I/O nodes, Gordon will be capable of handling massive databases while providing up to 100 times faster speeds when compared to hard drive disk systems for some queries. "We are encouraging applications from researchers engaged in data-intensive science and data mining across a diverse range of disciplines, including those who may not previously have considered leveraging supercomputing resources," said SDSC Director Michael Norman. "This includes researchers in astronomy, geosciences, and genomics, as well as economics and linguistics, just to name a few. Those with applications that serve a wide research community, such as through the use of a science gateway, are also encouraged to apply." Data-intensive computational science that will benefit from Gordon's unique configuration includes network analyses for new drug discovery, and converting observed measurements into information about a physical object or system in oceanography, atmospheric science, and oil exploration. The system's large shared-memory system is also able to research modestly scalable codes in quantum chemistry, structural engineering, and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) applications. Attendee Applications due June 24 Topics covered during the "Get Ready for Gordon - Summer Institute" will include: * An overview of Gordon's architecture * Using flash to improve I/O performance of data-intensive applications * The use of vSMP (virtual symmetric multiprocessing) for large memory applications * Application profiling of data intensive applications * Hands-on sessions using Gordon I/O nodes and Dash, the prototype for Gordon * Database and data mining applications * Breakout sessions for researchers who provide support for data-intensive architectures such as Gordon * How to write a successful allocation proposal for Gordon Applications to attend the "Get Ready for Gordon - Summer Institute" must be submitted by Friday, June 24, 2011. Applicants will receive notification of the status of their application by Friday, July 1, 2011. NSF funding for the event will cover accommodations and meals for attendees from US research and academic institutions. However, attendees are expected to cover their own travel to the UC San Diego campus. Information on submitting applications, as well as full program details, can be found at http://www.sdsc.edu/Events/summerinstitute2011/index.html. Specific questions regarding the event may be addressed to gordonevents at sdsc.edu. The Gordon Summer Institute will be held at SDSC the same time as the 8th annual Cyberinfrastructure Summer Institute for Geoscientists (CSIG'11), which will specifically focus on data-intensive computing within the geosciences. The program schedules have been designed to allow for interaction among participants of both events, and will include a common introductory session on the first day.

Initially created by independent entrepreneurs, researchers and technical staff of the Porto Polytechnic Institute, CloudViews.Org aimed at promoting and discussing technologies related with Cloud Computing. Following the CloudViews.Org spirit, the EuroCloud Portugal Association (www.eurocloud.pt), a non profit organization, was created in January 2010. The CloudViews project has already organized two international conferences on Cloud Computing. "To Cloud or not to Cloud" was the main theme of the first edition, held in Porto, Portugal, in 2009. "Cloud Ecosystem" was the theme of CloudViews 2010, which was also held in Porto, Portugal with the help of the Eurocloud Association. In that edition, academia, business people and decision makers gathered together to present their views, which motivated a lively debate where all ICT players were challenged to think about how to achieve a true Cloud Ecosystem. CloudViews 2011, in its third edition, moves a step forward by defying academia, business people and decision makers to think about their relationship with the clouds. "Cloud Computing & You", the main theme of the third edition of CloudViews has as its main goal to raise awareness and analyse the impact of Cloud Computing on small and medium business (SME), as well as on individual users. Around the theme "Cloud Computing & You", CloudViews 2011 welcomes contributions from several fields related to cloud computing, including, but not limited to, scientific computing applications, performance evaluation and resource management, predictability and provision platforms, storage clouds architectures and implementations, cloud computing security: models and frameworks, cloud interoperability, scheduling mechanisms, elastic platforms, service level agreements, fault tolerant architectures and implementations, human factors in computing systems, cloud usability, and business models in the cloud. Submissions of full (8 pages maximum) and short papers (4 pages maximum) must conform to 2 columns IEEE style, in PDF format and offer new, unpublished, original contributions.

Their demands for finer and finer spatial and temporal resolutions are driving parallel storage systems to larger and larger scales of parallelism and concurrency. This scale creates new problems and exacerbates old ones in areas such as storage capacity, performance, concurrency, data retrieval, reliability, availability, and manageability. Additionally, new technologies such as cloud storage are encouraging scientists to preserve more old data and to expand their analyses to include data from a wider range of previous computations. Paying special attention to issues in which community collaboration can be crucial such as problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability, standards with community buy-in, and shared tools, this one-day workshop seeks contributions in the form of papers and posters on relevant topics, including but not limited to: * performance and benchmarking results and tools, * failure tolerance, * APIs and protocols for high performance features, * parallel file systems, * high bandwidth storage architectures, * wide area file systems, * metadata intensive workloads, * information extraction, * autonomics for HPC storage, * checkpoint/restart, * virtualization for storage systems, * archival storage advances, and * resource management innovations. ************************ Paper Submissions: ************************ Due: Friday, September 16, 2011, 11:59 PM PDT Notification: Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Camera-ready due: Sunday, November 6, 2011 Slides due: Friday, Nov. 11, 2011 The parallel data storage workshop holds a peer reviewed competitive process for selecting extended abstracts and short papers.

Scope and Motivation Coding and Signal Processing form critical components of modern data storage systems. Recent advances in emerging data storage technologies, such as non-volatile memories (NVM), bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) and heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) transform the storage industry. On the system level, massive distributed storage networks, data centers and cloud storage systems are currently adopting erasure coding techniques for higher storage efficiency. This workshop seeks to bring academia and industry efforts closer and develop better technologies and practices for future storage architectures. Invited and contributed technical papers to this workshop are to follow the same format and length requirements (double-column, 10 point font, 5 pages) as ICC 2012. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included in the IEEE digital library. Main Topics of Interest: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Coding, signal processing, and information theoretic aspects of ultra-high density magnetic recording. New concepts for BPMR and HAMR 2. Non-volatile memories: modeling and characterization of NVM, such as flash, phase change RAM (PCRAM), and spin-transfer torque RAM (STT-MRAM). Endurance coding and wear-leveling. System-on-chip (SOC) architecture and optimization 3. Data Centers and distributed storage networks. Coding techniques in cloud storage, distributed storage networks and data centers. Storage management and inter-operability, storage security. 4. Storage Applications. Data compression for digital storage, including audio and video Signal processing and coding methods for object based storage systems.
