Second Annual Workshop on Emerging Parallel and Distributed Runtime Systems and Middleware

This workshop will emphasize novel, disruptive research ideas over incremental advances. We will solicit papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following areas:

Runtime System/Middleware Design, Evaluation and Usage

• Runtime/Middleware for emerging HPC and cloud computing platforms

• Runtime/Middleware for Big Data Computing

• Modeling and Performance Analysis of Runtime Systems

• Comparison studies of different runtime systems and middleware

• Tuning and Optimization studies

• Interactions between Runtime Systems and Middleware

• Runtime-architecture co-design

Constraints and Issues for Runtime Systems and Middleware

• Energy- and Power-aware schemes

• Fault Tolerance and Reliability

• Scalable high-performance I/O and access to Big Data

• Memory management

• Runtime data analysis (e.g., in-situ analysis)

• Real-time solutions and QOS

• Virtualization, provisioning, and scheduling

• Scalability of novel runtime systems and applications using them

Design Principles and Programming Support

• High-level programming models (e.g., thread and task based models, data parallel models, and stream programming) and domain-specific languages

• Programming frameworks, parallel programming, and design methodologies

• Methodologies and tools for runtime and middleware design, implementation , verification, and evaluation

• Wild and crazy ideas on future Runtime System and Middleware
