CALL FOR PAPERS
WOPSSS 2020: Workshop on Performance and Scalability of Storage Systems
The fifth WOPSSS workshop will be held jointly with Eurosys’20
Venu: Aquila Atlantis Hotel
Heraklion, Greece, April 27, 2020
Conference website http://wopsss.org
Submission link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wopsss2020
Submission deadline March 1, 2020
Topics: hpc<https://easychair.org/cfp/topic.cgi?tid=47294;a=23820917> storage<https://easychair.org/cfp/topic.cgi?a=23820917;tid=8331> file system<https://easychair.org/cfp/topic.cgi?tid=8730;a=23820917> performance analysis<https://easychair.org/cfp/topic.cgi?tid=5590;a=23820917>
The Workshop On Performance and Scalability of Storage Systems (WOPSSS) aims to present state-of-the-art research, innovative ideas, and experience that focus on the design and implementation of HPC storage systems in both academic and industrial worlds, with a special interest on their performance analysis.
This year, for our 5th edition, we propose to give a specific twist to address the system and operating system aspects of the storage stack. The addressed workloads remain HPC, Big Data, Cloud, and Artificial Intelligence. All these data intensive domains have to overcome the I/O bottleneck by analyzing the performance, detecting parameters restricting the performance and eventually providing I/O optimizations.
WOPSSS intends to encourage the discussion of these topics between researchers and practitioners from both the academic and the industrial worlds.
The workshop is held in conjunction with EuroSys'20.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
* Papers need to be submitted via Easychair (http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wopsss2020<http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wopsss20>)
* Papers are required to be formatted according to ACM SIG proceedings (https://www.overleaf.com/read/vkypwtbmtrkv)
* The submissions are "single-blind", i.e. submissions are allowed to include the author names.
WOPSSS workshop invites two types of submissions:
* Regular papers (8 pages) discussing original contributions, experience reports, or work in progress reports (supported by initial validations);
* Contributed talks, summarized in 2 page extended abstracts, reporting positions and visions for the future, identifying new challenges and research venues, or reports for early ongoing work.
List of Topics
WOPSSS topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* AI and Deep Learning workloads interactions with storage
* Storage systems modeling and analysis tools
* Feed-back and empirical evaluation of storage systems
* Application I/O characterization
* AI workload and storage performance analysis
* Parallel I/O and storage systems: consistency, caching, replication, reliability and fault recovery overhead
* Network challenges and storage systems: Scalability, QoS, Partitionability
* Low latency storage systems usability and analysis: memory-only, Flash, NVRAM, Storage Class Memory
* File system design
* Cloud and distributed storage

[Storage-research-list] IEEE Workshop on High-Performance Storage
(HPS) -- SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FEB 7TH.
by Snir, Marc
[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation]
CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Workshop on High-Performance Storage (HPS), in conjunction with IPDPS’20, New Orleans, Louisiana
http://snir.cs.illinois.edu/HPS/
Abstract submission (optional) deadline: January 25th, 2020
Paper submission deadline: [January 31st, 2020] NEW DEADLINE February 7th, 2020.
Submission page:
https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/ipdps/?page=Submit&id=HPSWorkshopFu...
HPS is a newly established workshop that covers all aspects of High-Performance I/O and storage, including storage hardware, storage systems, libraries, and I/O intensive applications.
The recent years are seeing an accelerated evolution of high-end storage systems, libraries, and services, due to several reasons:
- Technology: The availability of an increasing number of persistent solid-state storage technologies that can replace either memory or disk is creating new opportunities for the structure of storage systems.
- Performance Requirements: Disk-based parallel file systems cannot satisfy the performance needs of high-end systems. It is not clear how solid-state storage is best used to alleviate the problem.
- Infrastructure evolution: HPC technology will not only be deployed in dedicated supercomputing centers in the future. “Embedded HPC”, “HPC in the box”, “HPC in the loop”, “HPC in the cloud”, “HPC as a service”, “near- to-real-time simulation” are concepts requiring new small-scale deployment environments for HPC. A federation of systems and functions with consistent mechanisms for managing I/O, storage and data processing across all participating systems will be required, to creating a “continuum” of computing.
- Application Evolution: Data analysis, including graph analytics and machine learning training, are becoming increasingly important high-end applications. I/O is often a major bottleneck for such application, both in a cloud environment and in an HPC environment – especially when fast turnaround or integration of heavy computation with heavy analysis are required.
- Virtualization and disaggregation: As virtualization and disaggregation become broadly used in cloud and HPC computing, the issues of virtualized storage and storage disaggregation have increasing importance.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers and developers working on high-end storage systems, libraries and applications in HPC and clusters, and users of such systems that are interested in these issues.
HPS 20120 welcomes original submissions in a range of areas, including but not limited to:
• High-end storage systems
• Parallel and distributed high-end storage organizations
• The synergy between different storage models (POSIX file system, object storage, key-value, row-oriented, and column-oriented databases)
• Storage and data processing architectures and systems for hybrid HPC/cloud/edge infrastructures
• Structures and interfaces for leveraging persistent solid-state storage
• High-performing I/O libraries and services
• I/O performance in high-end systems and applications
• Data reduction and compression
• Benchmarks and performance tools for high-end I/O
• Language and library support for data-centric computing
• Storage virtualization and disaggregation
• Active processing in storage technologies.
• Ephemeral storage media and consistency optimizations
• Storage architectures and systems for scalable stream-based processing
• Study cases of I/O services in support of various application domains (bioinformatics, scientific simulations, large observatories, and experimental facilities, etc.)
Papers should present original research and provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community.
Submission Info:
The workshop will accept traditional research papers (8-10 pages) for in-depth topics and short papers (4-8 pages) for works in progress on hot topics.
Paper format: single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references.
