CSA'19

7th International Workshop on Computer Systems and Architectures (CSA'19)

To be held in conjunction with CANDAR'19.

The main goal of this workshop is to provide a timely forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques and research in the field of computer systems and architectures.

• Computer hardware: logic circuits, memory systems, I/O systems, supercomputers, FPGA, multi-core processors, computer terminals,
• VLSI computers: VLSI architectures, microcomputers, memory, SoC, NoC, multiprocessors
• Computer systems: Next-generation computers, parallel processing systems, grid, PC clusters, distributed systems, embedded systems, autonomous system, computer communication, operation and maintenance control, storage systems, embedded systems, IoT, industrial systems, network-connected home appliances, smart home appliances
• System software: operating systems, databases, language processors, compilers
• Application software: computer graphics, CAD, production management systems, simulation
• Computer networks: network interfaces, communication mechanism software, cloud computing
• Computing techniques: edge computing, reconfigurable computing, approximate computing, machine learning, high performance computing, real-world computing, real-time processing

We plan to organize CSA special session on Large-scale HPC Application Modernization (LHAM).

The code size and complexity of an HPC application inevitably increase for exploiting the system performance as well as for simulating physical phenomena more faithfully and precisely. We have to invest more time and effort in modernizing such a large-scale HPC application code whenever a new HPC system becomes available. As the complexity of HPC system architectures is also increasing today, there is a strong demand for streamlining HPC application modernization. The International Workshop on Large-scale HPC Application Modernization offers an opportunity to share practices and experiences of modernizing practical HPC application codes, and also discuss ideas and future directions for supporting the modernization.In particular, we will focus on the following topics of interest, but not limited to:

• Programming models, languages and frameworks for facilitating HPC software evolution and refactoring.
• Algorithms and implementation methodologies for future-generation computing systems, including manycores and accelerators (GPUs, Xeon Phi, etc).
• Automatic performance tuning techniques, runtime systems and domain-specific languages for hiding the complexity of underlying system architectures.
• Practices and experiences on porting of legacy applications and libraries.

Please select ``Special session on LHAM'' if a paper is intended to submit to the special session on LHAM.

• Regular paper: 5-7 pages
• Poster paper: 3-4 pages

Please see Workshop Paper Submission Instruction.

The conference and workshop proceedings will be published by Conference Publishing Service and submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL digital libraries. Also they are submitted for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services.

We plan to publish extended versions of selected papers from CANDAR'18 main conference and workshops. Please see Special Issue for the details.

Please see Schedule for the workshop abstract submission due and the workshop paper submission due.
