Abstract: Extreme-Scale Computing in HPC, Big Data, Deep Learning, and Clouds are marked by
multiple-levels of hierarchy and heterogeneity ranging from the compute units
(many-core CPUs, GPUs, APUs, etc) to storage devices (NVMe, NVMe over Fabrics
etc) to the network interconnects (InfiniBand, High-Speed Ethernet, Slingshot,
etc). Owing to the plethora of heterogeneous communication paths with different
cost models expected to be present in extreme-scale systems, data movement is
seen as the soul of different challenges for exascale computing. On the other
hand, advances in networking technologies such as NoCs (like NVLink and
Stormlake), emergence of new I/O interface architecture standards (CCIX, Gen-Z,
CAPI etc), and RDMA enabled networks and the likes are constantly pushing the
envelope of research in the field of novel communication and computing
architectures for extreme-scale computing. The goal of this workshop is to
bring together researchers and software/hardware designers from academia,
industry and national laboratories who are involved in creating network-based
computing solutions for extreme-scale architectures.
The scope of the workshop includes, but not limited
to: scalable communication architectures and protocols, high performance
networks, runtime/middleware designs, novel hardware/software co-design, high
performance communication solutions for accelerator-based computing, power-aware
techniques and designs, performance evaluations, QoS, and
virtualization.
