International Workshop on Sustainable HPC Cloud (SHPCloud12) http://sites.google.com/a/temple.edu/shpcloud-2012/home November 10-16, 2012, Salt Lake City, Utah Sponsored by ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference 2012 (http://sc12.supercomputing.org/) SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP Unlike traditional HPC clusters, HPC Cloud computing offers better resource utilization and more software flexibility to researchers. There are also challenges. These include virtual machine administration complexities and significant less performance compared to traditional HPC clusters. Information security is also a concern. There is a clear need to rethink application architectures that can best exploit HPC cloud advantages but also avoid the pitfalls. There are already applications that can effectively leverage the virtual HPC hardware. Many are data intensive. This workshop seeks credible experiences in using HPC cloud for different types of applications. ********************* Topics of Interest ********************* Suggested Areas (but not limited to): Investigative Reports: * Computation intensive applications without failure and recovery * Computation intensive applications with failure and recovery * Cloud performances for data intensive applications Failure Detection and Prevention Experiences: * Experiences in non-main stream HPC paradigms * Experiences in using auction-based cloud resources * Experiences in virtualized GPU for HPC applications * Experiences in virtualized network for HPC applications * Innovative failure prevention and recovery methods Information Security: * HPC security considerations using cloud resources * Communication infrastructure virtualization experiences * Private cloud implementation experiences Resource Usage and Prediction: * Innovative cloud auction pricing models * Resource usage prediction models Important Dates: * Paper submission deadline: 9/22/2012. 5pm EST. (Extended) * Notification of acceptance: 10/15/2012, 2012 10am EST. * Final Manuscript Due: 10/25/2012 5pm EST. * Registration Due: 10/17/2012 * Conference Date: 11/10-16/2012 Submission Instructions: Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent related developments. Papers must be submitted in PDF format (readable by Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 and higher). Submissions are limited to 10 pages in the IEEE conference proceedings format. Shorter papers are also welcome. The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit. Margins and font sizes should not be modified.
