architectures. Please join us in a discussion of new ideas, experiences, and

the latest trends in these areas at the workshop.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

------------------

The focus areas for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

* Systems software for high-end scientific and enterprise computing

  architectures

  - Communication sub-subsystems for high-end computing

  - High-performance file and storage systems

  - Fault-tolerance techniques and implementations

  - Efficient and high-performance virtualization and other management

    mechanisms for high-end computing

* Programming models and their high-performance implementations

  - MPI, Sockets, OpenMP, Global Arrays, X10, UPC, CAF, Chapel, and others

  - Hybrid Programming Models

* Tools for Management, Maintenance, Coordination and Synchronization

  - Software for Enterprise Data-centers using Modern Architectures

  - Job scheduling libraries

  - Management libraries for large-scale system

  - Toolkits for process and task coordination on modern platforms

* Performance evaluation, analysis and modeling of emerging computing platforms

PROCEEDINGS

-----------

Proceedings of this workshop will be published in CD format only and will be

available at the conference (together with the ICPP conference proceedings).

The published papers will be available at the conference in CD format, and will

be submitted to the IEEE CS Digital Library.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

-----------------------

Submissions should be in PDF format in U.S. letter size paper, and should be

formatted in a double-column format with a font size 10 pt or larger. They
