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 ROSS workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting at the HPDC 2018
conference in Tempe, Arizona, USA, focuses on principles and techniques
to design, implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems
for supercomputers and massively parallel machines.
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
-------------------
- 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
SCHEDULE AND SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
