The conference is being held in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. We are very excited to say that this year's symposium is more closely aligned with HPCS. The scope of the symposium has again been extended to more generally include topics from all areas of high performance computing (HPC) clusters, with the focus being "Systems and management". This includes the tools and techniques as well as experiences. We also encourage authors to provide critical analysis of emerging topics in clustering, to include heterogeneous or hybrid systems, reconfigurable systems, virtualized systems, and all topics related to their use and management. This may include high-level descriptions or low-level capabilities -- the software and hardware aspects of HPC clusters. Topics of Interest: ------------------- Authors are encouraged to submit papers on topics relating to, but not limited to, the following: * Cluster management issues, particularly those at large scale * HPC cluster software and/or hardware case studies * Heterogeneous/hybrid cluster management * Cluster tools/infrastructure * Build and configuration management techniques/tools * Administration policy/practice (experiences) * Cluster management software surveys * System failure analysis * System resilience * Emerging hardware/systems * Diskless systems * Cluster and system virtualization * System software testing and validation Submission Guidelines: ---------------------- All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Abstracts and papers should be submitted to the HPCS'09 conference submission page at: http://www.hpcs2009.org/. See the HPCS'09 conference webpages for details on abstract and paper specifications and page lengths. Important Dates: ---------------- Abstract and/or full paper deadline: February 16, 2009 Acceptance notification: March 6, 2009 Final manuscript: May 1, 2009 _________________________________________________________________________ Thomas Naughton naughtont@ornl.gov Research Associate (865) 576-4184
