The 18th International Heterogeneity in Computing Workshop (HCW 2009) has issued a Call for Papers. The event will take place on May 25, 2009, in conjunction with IPDPS 2009 in Rome, Italy.
PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: December 12, 2009
HCW invites the submission of original, unpublished, papers on all aspects of heterogeneity in computing. All submissions will be peer reviewed to exacting standards and a select number will be chosen for presentation in Rome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, issues resulting from heterogeneity in the following areas:
- Parallel and distributed computing
- Programming paradigms and tools
- Resource discovery and management
- Task and communication scheduling
- Task coordination and workflow
- Performance evaluation and management
- Heterogeneous cluster computing
- Heterogeneous computer architectures
- Grid computing
- Peer-to-peer computing
- Ubiquitous computing
- Fault tolerance
- Application case studies
- Control and use of heterogeneous multi-cores
See http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~bader/HCW2009/ and click on "Submissions" to submit a paper to HCW '09.

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.

When it comes to cloud, long distances mean unacceptably high latencies. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany examined those latency issues of doing CFD modeling in the cloud by utilizing a common CFD and its utilization in HPC instance types including both CPU and GPU cores of Amazon EC2.

05/10/2013 | Cleversafe, Cray, DDN, NetApp, & Panasas | From Wall Street to Hollywood, drug discovery to homeland security, companies and organizations of all sizes and stripes are coming face to face with the challenges – and opportunities – afforded by Big Data. Before anyone can utilize these extraordinary data repositories, however, they must first harness and manage their data stores, and do so utilizing technologies that underscore affordability, security, and scalability.
