Workshop on High-performance Infrastructure for Scalable Tools

(WHIST 2011)

Held as part of the

25th International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS 2011)

Tucson, Arizona, June 4, 2011

CALL FOR PAPERS

Today's petascale supercomputers contain over 100,000 processor cores,

and thread counts on exascale systems are expected to exceed 100

million. Increasingly complex multicore and accelerator

node-architectures fuel the trend towards massive concurrency, and

new, hierarchical parallel programming models will be necessary to

take full advantage of future machines. With increased node, system,

and application complexity, scalable tools will be critical for

diagnosing the root causes of correctness and performance problems.

To diagnose problems at the extreme scale, tools themselves are

becoming more complex. Tools will require sophisticated infrastructure

to monitor, measure, analyze, and present the causes of an execution's

anomalies. In many cases, tools will combine online and offline

analysis. They may use sophisticated modeling and statistical

analysis techniques. To manage this complexity, there is a need both

for abstractions that simplify tool design and for infrastructure that

is reusable and extensible.

SUBMISSIONS

We solicit papers on all aspects of scalable tool abstractions and

infrastructure, including (but not limited to):

* Generic, reusable tool-infrastructure components

* Tool-component interoperability

* Tool-runtime design, including

- Scalable data structures and data representation for tool

runtimes

- Scalable tool communication infrastructure

- Tool and operating system interoperability

* Scalable online and offline analysis techniques, including

- Techniques for managing large amounts of information

- Low-overhead online parallel data analysis techniques

* Monitoring, measurement and analysis approaches for novel parallel

programming models

- Tool support for multithreading, shared-memory, and hierarchical

parallelism, including interaction with language runtime and

operating systems

- Measurement and attribution techniques for new programming

paradigms

* Scalable presentation of results

SPECIAL JOURNAL ISSUE

All papers from the workshop will be made available online, and selected

papers will be published in a special journal issue. Details TBD.
