IEEE Cluster 2011
| September 26, 2011 | to | September 30, 2011 |
Call for Papers
Cluster computing has become the most common method of configuring and deploying high performance computing systems. Clusters offer high performance that is cost-effective, and maturing software for clusters has made them more scalable and reliable. Clusters and are used to solve some of the most challenging and complex problems, to analyze and visualize massive data, and manage tremendous amounts of storage. Clusters have become the workhorse for computational science and engineering research, powering innovation and discovery that advance science and society.
However, there are many ongoing challenges and opportunities that must be addressed to build and use clusters of increasing scale with diverse technologies. Clusters may use commodity x86 processors but also GPUs or other accelerators, InfiniBand and other network technologies with different topologies, and different file system technologies with a wide range of node and disk configuration possibilities. The challenge to harness the parallel power of both small and large systems efficiently requires the concerted effort of the cluster community in the areas of cluster design and deployment, management and monitoring, and both system and applications software. A continued vigilance and assessment of the latest R&D developments are necessary to ensure that cluster computing can harness new technological advances in hardware and software to solve the challenges of today and tomorrow.

International Workshop on Security and Performance in Cloud Computing
| July 4, 2011 | to | July 8, 2011 |
International Workshop on Security and Performance in Cloud Computing http://hpcs11.cisedu.info/conference/workshops/workshop-15---spcloud (SPCLOUD 2011) Call for Papers As part of The 2011 International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2011) http://hpcs11.cisedu.info/ In Conjunction With The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2011) July 4 – 8, 2011 Istanbul, Turkey (Submission Deadline: February 14, 2011) SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Cloud computing systems open a new perspective on almost every aspect of computing. Some security issues raised by cloud computing are alleviated by virtualization but the performance overheads should be balanced against this advantage. Dynamic scalability or “elasticity” will help generalize high-performance computing and very large data sets in applications. But the actual gains in performance depend heavily on the predictability of physical and virtualized resources. Consequently, the balancing of performance against security and the adaptation of HPC or VLDB techniques to cloud computing are of strategic importance and will have long-lasting scientific content. The SPCLOUD workshop will bring together researchers and IT practitioners to present new results and ongoing work on the themes of security and performance in the cloud. (more...)
