Failure to meet these requirements will cause customer dissatisfaction and negative news coverage. In addition to conventional functional testing, the performance of these systems must be verified through load testing or benchmarking to ensure quality service. Load testing examines the behavior of a system by simulating hundreds or thousands of users performing tasks at the same time. Benchmarking evaluates a system's performance and allows to optimize system configurations or compare the system with similar systems in the domain. Load testing and benchmarking software systems are difficult tasks, which requires a great understanding of the system under test and customer behavior. Practitioners face many challenges such as tooling (choosing and implementing the testing tools), environments (software and hardware setup) and time (limited time to design, test, and analyze). This oneday workshop brings together software testing researchers, practitioners and tool developers to discuss the challenges and opportunities of conducting research on load testing and benchmarking software systems. We solicit the following two tracks of submissions: technical papers (maximum 4 pages) and presentation track for industry or experience talks (maximum 700 words extended abstract). Technical papers should follow the standard ACM SIG proceedings format and need to be submitted electronically via EasyChair. Extended abstracts need to be submitted as abstract only submissions via EasyChair. Accepted technical papers will be published in the ICPE 2017 Proceedings. Materials from the presentation track will not be published in the ICPE 2017 proceedings, but will be made available on the workshop website. Submitted papers can be research papers, position papers, case studies or experience reports addressing issues including but not limited to the following: - Efficient and cost-effective test executions - Rapid and scalable analysis of the measurement results - Case studies and experience reports on load testing and benchmarking - Load testing and benchmarking on emerging systems (e.g., adaptive/autonomic systems, big data batch and stream processing systems, and cloud services) - Load testing and benchmarking in the context of agile software development process - Using performance models to support load testing and benchmarking - Building and maintaining load testing and benchmarking as a service - Efficient test data management for load testing and benchmarking From juliankunkel at googlemail.com Fri Jan 20 04:43:55 2017 From: juliankunkel at googlemail.com (Julian Kunkel) Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2017 10:43:55 +0100 Subject: [Storage-research-list] CfP 3rd IODC workshop at ISC High Performance Message-ID: The 3rd HPC I/O in the Data Center Workshop (HPC-IODC 2017) conjunction with ISC High Performance on Thursday June 22nd, 2017, in Frankfurt, Germany. Url: http://wr.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/events/2017/iodc Note that we allow virtual participation during the workshop for authors of research papers! We will stream the workshop live using YouTube and respond to questions asked in comments. ** Workshop overview ** 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. 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. 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. The workshop content is build on two tracks: 1) research papers ? submit a short paper regarding relevant research for I/O in the datacenter. 2) talks from I/O experts ? you'll need to submit a rough outline for your talk. Contributions to both tracks are peer reviewed and require submission of the respective research paper or idea for your presentation via Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpciodc2017 The HPC-IODC workshop is half day but embedded into a full-day program for I/O that we organize with the team of the WOPSSS (http://wopsss.org/). Our cooperation includes the alignment of sessions and the potential to shift papers between the two workshops. We encourage participants to take the opportunity to attend both events. Please find the CfP for WOPSSS below our CfP. ** Track: research papers ** We accept short papers with up to 12 pages (excl. references) in LNCS format. Our targeted proceedings are ISC's post-conference workshop proceedings in Springers LNCS. We will accept more papers in the scope of our topic than can be presented at full length during the workshop. Therewith, we give authors a chance to submit relevant papers but not insist on their participation. Additionally, we can focus on the discussion of controversial topics during the workshop.

Virtualization, dynamicity and scalability, the distributed mass data storage and management, as well as flexible service, are the main technologies of cloud computing. There are still many challenges in cloud systems and platform, cloud computing, database, virtualization, reuse and elasticity problems. Big data overall architecture consists of three layers: data storage, data processing and data analysis. Data storage layer stores complex type and mass data, data processing layer realizes real-time processing of massive data, and only through data analysis layer, smart, in-depth and valuable information are got. When talking about big data, one thinks first to the 4V characteristics of big data, namely Volumes, Variety, Velocity, and Veracity. Big data processing key technology generally includes: data acquisition, data pre-processing, data storage and data management, data analysis and mining, big show and application (big data retrieval, data visualization, big data applications, data security, etc.). The IEEE International Conference on Cloud and Big Data Computing is a premier forum for researchers, practitioners, developers and users who are interested in cloud computing and big data to explore new ideas, techniques and tools, as well as to exchange experience. Besides the latest research achievements. This conference also covers innovative commercial data management systems, innovative commercial applications of cloud computing and big data technology, and experience in applying recent research advances to real-world problems. After the success of IEEE CBDCom 2015 in Beijing, China, and CBDCom 2016 in Toulouse, France, CBDCom 2017 will be the third edition of the lnternational Conference.

Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) languages are an effective alternative, and the most promising path towards sustainable programming environments for exascale machines. Languages such as UPC, Fortran, Chapel, and X10 are now more widely available than ever, thanks to increased support from vendors and open-source communities. PGAS models also take the form of meta-languages and libraries, such as Unified Parallel C++ (UPC++), Co-Array C++, OpenSHMEM, MPI-3 and Global Arrays. These have the benefit of being integrated with existing languages, simplifying the learning curve for existing programmers. Significant improvements in the availability of PGAS compilers and support software have been achieved in the last few years; these open up more opportunities than ever for researchers and developers to test new strategies and port applications to more demanding requirements. Following on the success of PAW16, we invite you to take part in the second PGAS Application Workshop, and to join its vibrant and diverse community of researchers and developers. SCOPE AND AIMS The scope of the PAW workshop is to provide a forum for exhibiting case studies of PGAS programming models in the context of real-world applications as a means of better understanding practical applications of PGAS technologies. We encourage the submission of papers and talks detailing practical PGAS applications, including characterizations of scalability and performance, of expressiveness and programmability, as well as any downsides or areas for improvement in existing PGAS models. In addition to informing other application programmers about the potential that is available through PGAS programming, the workshop is designed to communicate these experiences to compiler vendors, library developers, and system architects in order to achieve broader support for PGAS programming across the community. We also specifically encourage submissions covering big data analytics, deep learning, and other novel and emerging application areas, beyond traditional scientific HPC domains. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Novel application development using the PGAS model. * Real-world examples demonstrating performance, compiler optimization, error checking, and/or reduced software complexity. * Applications from big data analytics, bioinformatics, and other novel areas. * Performance evaluation of applications running under PGAS. * Algorithmic models enabled by PGAS model. * Compiler and runtime environments. * Libraries using/supporting PGAS and applications. * Benefits of hardware abstraction and data locality on algorithm implementation. IMPORTANT DATES: * Submission Deadline: July 31, 2017 * Author Notification: September 1, 2017 * Camera Ready: October 1, 2017 * Workshop Date: November 13, 2017 SUBMISSIONS Submissions are solicited in two categories: a) Full-length papers presenting novel research results: Full-length papers will be published in the workshop proceedings in cooperation with SIGHPC. Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in, and is not under consideration for, another conference or a journal. Papers shall not exceed eight (8) pages including text, appendices, and figures. References are not included. b) Extended abstracts summarizing published/preliminary results: Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and will not be included in the published proceedings; they are intended for timely communications of novel work that is going to be formally submitted elsewhere at a later stage, and/or of already published work that is nonetheless deemed appropriate for dissemination in this venue. Extended abstracts shall not exceed four (4) pages.

The objective of this one day joint workshop is to combine two overlapping communities and to better promote and stimulate researchers' interactions to address some of the most critical challenges for scientific data storage, management, devices, and processing infrastructure for both traditional compute intensive simulations and data-intensive high performance computing solutions. Special attention will be given to issues in which community collaboration can be crucial for problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability, standards with community buy-in, and shared tools. Many scientific problem domains continue to be extremely data intensive. Traditional high performance computing (HPC) systems and the programming models for using them such as MPI were designed from a compute-centric perspective with an emphasis on achieving high floating point computation rates. But processing, memory, and storage technologies have not kept pace and there is a widening performance gap between computation and the data management infrastructure. Hence data management has become the performance bottleneck for a significant number of applications targeting HPC systems. Concurrently, there are increasing challenges in meeting the growing demand for analyzing experimental and observational data. In many cases, this is leading new communities to look towards HPC platforms. In addition, the broader computing space has seen a revolution in new tools and frameworks to support Big Data analysis and machine learning. There is a growing need for convergence between these two worlds. Consequently, the U.S. Congressional Office of Management and Budget has informed the U.S. Department of Energy that new machines beyond the first exascale machines must address both the traditional simulation workloads as well as data intensive applications. This coming convergence prompts integrating these two workshops into a single entity to address the common challenges. Workshop topics of interest: ** Scalable storage architectures, archival storage, storage virtualization, emerging storage devices and techniques ** Performance benchmarking, resource management, and workload studies from production systems including both traditional HPC and data-intensive workloads. ** Programmability, APIs, and fault tolerance of storage systems ** Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management, object and key-value storage, and other emerging data storage/retrieval techniques ** Programming models and frameworks for data intensive computing including extensions to traditional and nontraditional programming models, asynchronous multi-task programming models, or to data intensive programming models ** Techniques for data integrity, availability and reliability especially ** Productivity tools for data intensive computing, data mining and knowledge discovery ** Application or optimization of emerging "big data" frameworks towards scientific computing and analysis ** Techniques and architectures to enable cloud and container-based models for scientific computing and analysis ** Techniques for integrating compute into a complex memory and storage hierarchy facilitating in situ and in transit data processing ** Data filtering/compressing/reduction techniques that maintain sufficient scientific validity for large scale compute-intensive workloads ** Tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and data intensive components both solely within the computational infrastructure as well as incorporating the memory/storage hierarchy Paper Submissions: http://www.pdsw-discs.org/ Paper (in pdf format) due Friday, Sept. 1, 2017, 11:59 PM AoE Notification: Friday, Sept. 29, 2017 Camera ready due: Friday, Oct. 6, 2017 Slides due before workshop: Sunday, Nov. 12, 2017, 3:00 pm MST Paper Submission Details: The PDSW-DISCS Workshop holds a peer reviewed competitive process for selecting short papers.

The objective of this one day joint workshop is to combine two overlapping communities and to better promote and stimulate researchers' interactions to address some of the most critical challenges for scientific data storage, management, devices, and processing infrastructure for both traditional compute intensive simulations and data-intensive high performance computing solutions. Special attention will be given to issues in which community collaboration can be crucial for problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability, standards with community buy-in, and shared tools. Many scientific problem domains continue to be extremely data intensive. Traditional high performance computing (HPC) systems and the programming models for using them such as MPI were designed from a compute-centric perspective with an emphasis on achieving high floating point computation rates. But processing, memory, and storage technologies have not kept pace and there is a widening performance gap between computation and the data management infrastructure. Hence data management has become the performance bottleneck for a significant number of applications targeting HPC systems. Concurrently, there are increasing challenges in meeting the growing demand for analyzing experimental and observational data. In many cases, this is leading new communities to look towards HPC platforms. In addition, the broader computing space has seen a revolution in new tools and frameworks to support Big Data analysis and machine learning. There is a growing need for convergence between these two worlds. Consequently, the U.S. Congressional Office of Management and Budget has informed the U.S. Department of Energy that new machines beyond the first exascale machines must address both the traditional simulation workloads as well as data intensive applications. This coming convergence prompts integrating these two workshops into a single entity to address the common challenges. Workshop topics of interest: ** Scalable storage architectures, archival storage, storage virtualization, emerging storage devices and techniques ** Performance benchmarking, resource management, and workload studies from production systems including both traditional HPC and data-intensive workloads. ** Programmability, APIs, and fault tolerance of storage systems ** Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management, object and key-value storage, and other emerging data storage/retrieval techniques ** Programming models and frameworks for data intensive computing including extensions to traditional and nontraditional programming models, asynchronous multi-task programming models, or to data intensive programming models ** Techniques for data integrity, availability and reliability especially ** Productivity tools for data intensive computing, data mining and knowledge discovery ** Application or optimization of emerging "big data" frameworks towards scientific computing and analysis ** Techniques and architectures to enable cloud and container-based models for scientific computing and analysis ** Techniques for integrating compute into a complex memory and storage hierarchy facilitating in situ and in transit data processing ** Data filtering/compressing/reduction techniques that maintain sufficient scientific validity for large scale compute-intensive workloads ** Tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and data intensive components both solely within the computational infrastructure as well as incorporating the memory/storage hierarchy Paper Submissions: http://www.pdsw-discs.org/ Paper (in pdf format) due Friday, Sept. 7, 2017, 11:59 PM AoE Notification: Friday, Sept. 29, 2017 Camera ready due: Friday, Oct. 6, 2017 Slides due before workshop: Sunday, Nov. 12, 2017, 3:00 pm MST Paper Submission Details: The PDSW-DISCS Workshop holds a peer reviewed competitive process for selecting short papers.

Although such infrastructure consists of tightly interconnected computing, networking, and storage components, these resources are typically studied independently. For example, studies focused on computing or networking often overlook the properties of storage devices, and vice versa. Overall infrastructure performance often decreases due to miscommunication and misconfiguration of different resources. Software-defined methodologies offer an opportunity to bridge this gap and deliver high performance, efficiency, and reliability. Making any infrastructure "software defined" requires significant community efforts. The SDDCS workshop provides the forum for multidisciplinary research spanning computing architecture, networking, storage systems and devices, as well as applications. SDDCS aims to bring together industry and academia to jointly explore recent progress related to performance bottleneck discoveries and to bridging the gap between computing and storage in the software-defined context. We particularly encourage contributions containing highly novel ideas, new approaches, and/or groundbreaking results.
