Fifth High-Performance Grid Computing Workshop

April 14, 2008, Miami, Florida USA

 
in conjunction with
 

International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium - IPDPS 2008
April 14-18, 2008, Miami, Florida USA



 

Background

Grids are becoming important engines for solving large computational and and storage problems. Grids are used for collecting, processing,  and searching large data sets both in academia and in industry. Just a few examples: TeraGrid (USA), Coherence (Oracle), Grid'5000 (France), DataGrid (EU), USAtlas Grid and LHG for LHC indicate the wide proliferation of grid computing. The High Performance Grid Computing workshop provides a forum for researchers from academia and industry to present their latest results in the theory and practice of grid computing. The workshop invites researchers to submit papers on all aspects of grid computing. 

Topics
  • Applications: Theory and practice of grid computing. Solution of large problems on  grids.
  • Benchmarking: Evaluating performance of grid hardware and middleware. Grid benchmarking.
  • Infrastructure: Implementation and evaluation of grid middleware.
  • Data Grids: Use of grids for analysis of large data sets.
  • Management and Scheduling: Management, monitoring, resource allocation, and scheduling.
  • Partitioning and Load Balancing: Mapping data and applications on computational grids.
  • Programming Models: Methods for remote execution and intertask communications, including message passing and RPC.

Invited Speakers


New this year, we have two invited submissions to HPGC:

1. Experimental validation of grid algorithms: a comparison of methodologies, Emmanuel Jeannot, Loria INRIA-Lorraine, France.
2. Using Bandwidth Data to make Computational Off-loading Decisions, Rich Wolski, University of California, Santa Barbara.

Paper Submission

Final submission of accepted papers: please visit the IPDPS author resources page for instructions.

We invite submissions not exceeding eight single-spaced pages. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal. Each paper will be refereed by at least three independent reviewers. Paper submission indicates the intention of the author to present the paper at the HPGC workshop at IPDPS 2008.

Click here to submit your paper. In the event of any difficulty with the EDAS submission system, send to hpgc@unb.ca instead.

Submission deadline: November 16, 2007. There will be NO extension of this deadline. Authors will be notified by December 21, 2007.

The HPGC workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society along with the IPDPS conference proceedings.
