Call For Papers - CFP

Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria, September 23-26, 2012

BACKGROUND AND TOPICS

EuroMPI is the preeminent meeting for users, developers and

researchers to interact and discuss new developments and applications

of message-passing parallel computing, in particular in and related to

the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The annual meeting has a long,

rich tradition, and the 19th European MPI Users' Group Meeting will

again be a lively forum for discussion of everything related to usage

and implementation of MPI and other parallel programming interfaces.

Traditionally, the meeting has focused on the efficient implementation

of aspects of MPI, typically on high-performance computing platforms,

benchmarking and tools for MPI, short-comings and extensions of MPI,

parallel I/O and fault tolerance, as well as parallel applications

using MPI. The meeting is open towards other topics, in particular

application experience and alternative interfaces for high-performance

heterogeneous, hybrid, distributed memory systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* MPI implementation issues and improvements

* Extensions to and shortcomings of MPI

* Tools and environments for MPI

* Hybrid and heterogeneous programming with MPI and other interfaces

* Relation of MPI to alternative interfaces for hybrid/heterogeneous distributed memory systems

* Interaction between message-passing software and hardware, in particular new high performance architectures

* Fault tolerance in message-passing implementations and systems

* Performance evaluation for MPI and MPI based applications

* Automatic performance tuning of MPI applications and implementations

* Applications using message-passing, in particular in Computational Science and Scientific Computing

* Non-standard message-passing applications

* Parallel algorithms in the message-passing paradigm

* Algorithms using the message-passing paradigm

The meeting will feature contributed talks on the selected,

peer-reviewed papers, invited expert talks covering upcoming and

future issues, a vendor session where selected vendors will present

their new developments in hybrid and heterogeneous cluster and

high-performance architectures, a poster session, and a tutorial

day. As in 2011, EuroMPI 2012 will include the special session IMUDI

dedicated to improving MPI user and developer interaction. The special

session will have the same deadlines as the conference, but its own

CFP and feature its own specialist program committee that will review

all dedicated IMUDI submissions. This session should attract strongly

application focused papers showing potential or problems with MPI and

current MPI practice. IMUDI papers may be shorter and may center on

problem analysis rather than solution, and will thus contribute to

intensify discussion between MPI developers and application programmers.

Other, special sessions may be organized, and proposals are

solicited. Proceedings for EuroMPI 2012 will be published in Springer

Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). A Special Issue of the

Springer "Computing" journal is planned for a selection of the best

papers of the conference.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Contributors are invited to submit a full paper as a PDF document not

exceeding 10 pages in English. The title page should contain an

abstract of at most 100 words and five specific, topical keywords. The

paper must be formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines. The

usage of LaTeX for preparation of the contribution as well as the

submission in camera ready format is strongly recommended. Style files

can be found with Springer

New work that is not yet mature for a full paper, short observations,

and similar brief announcements are invited for the poster

session. Contributions to the poster session should be submitted in

the form of a two page abstract.

All contributions will be fully peer reviewed by the program

committee. Papers shall be submitted electronically via Easychair, see

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurompi2012

Papers with a very strong application focus concerned with use of MPI

and possible obstacles should be considered for submission to the

IMUDI special session, see http://press.mcs.anl.gov/imudi

CONFERENCE VENUE

EuroMPI 2012 will be held in Vienna, Austria, at the Austrian Academy

of Sciences. Vienna is easily accessible by plane and train, and in

addition to the conference has a highly attractive cultural heritage.

CONFERENCE FEES

The conference will hopefully be well supported by sponsors, which will help

directly towards keeping the fees low. As far as possible, special student

fees will be offered.
