I think Martin's unavailable for the next two weeks. :-\ We have the room starting at 1pm on Monday. This is one of those unfortunate Cisco buildings without a lobby ambassador, so you'll need to call/text me or Dave to get in. Based on the last Chicago meeting, I believe we'll start at 2pm Pacific on Monday. On Jan 24, 2014, at 12:29 PM, Jeff Hammond <jeff.science(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I need to book travel for March ASAP.

09 Jan '14

*********************************************** * EuroMPI/ASIA 2014 Call for Workshops * * The 21st European MPI Users' Group Meeting * * Kyoto, Japan * * 9th - 12th September, 2014 * * www.eurompi2014.org * *********************************************** In addition to the main conference's technical program, EuroMPI/ASIA 2014 is soliciting proposals for one-day or half-day workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference. It is intended that those workshops are aim to discuss on ongoing work and latest ideas related to applications with message passing paradigms. The Call for Papers will be separately announced and also shown in the conference page. BACKGROUND AND TOPICS --------------------- EuroMPI is the preeminent meeting for users, developers and researchers to interact and discuss new developments and applications of message-passing parallel computing, in particular in and related to the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The annual meeting has a long, rich tradition, and has been held in European countries. In the 21st EuroMPI, the conference venue is at Kyoto, Japan, outside of Europe. Following past meetings, EuroMPI/ASIA 2014 will continue to focus on not just MPI, but also extensions or alternative interfaces for high-performance homogeneous/heterogeneous/hybrid systems, benchmarks, tools, parallel I/O, fault tolerance, and parallel applications using MPI and other interfaces. Through the presentation of contributed papers, poster presentations and invited talks, attendees will have the opportunity to share ideas and experiences to contribute to the improvement and furthering of message-passing and related parallel programming paradigms. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- - Workshop proposals due: January 30, 2014 - Workshop notification: February 14, 2014 - Submission of full papers and poster abstracts: April 25, 2014 - Author notification: May 30, 2014 - Camera Ready papers due: June 20, 2014 - Tutorials: September 9, 2014 - Conference: September 10-12, 2014 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- The organizers of accepted workshops are required to advertise the workshop and call for papers, solicit submissions, conduct the reviewing process, and decide upon the final workshop program. Workshop proposals and further inquiries should be sent to the EuroMPI 2014 Workshops Chairs, eurompi2014-workshops(a)riken.jp The workshop proposal should include following information: 1. Title of the workshop 2. Workshop Organizers(s): name, affiliation, and e-mail 3. Brief description of the workshop 5. Call for Papers of the workshop (draft version) 6. Tentative list of program committee members (name, affiliation, and e-mail) 7. Workshop web address (Tentative) The decision on acceptance/rejection of workshop proposals will be made on the basis of the overall quality of the proposal as well as of how it fits in with the conference. The organizers of successful workshops will be responsible for their own reviewing process, publicity (e.g., website and call for papers), and proceedings production. They will be required to closely cooperate with the Workshops Chairs and the EuroMPI 2014 local organizers to finalize all organizational details. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I would appreciate if you could forward this email to interested colleagues.

MPI implementation requirements for low-layer network APIs
by Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

(pardon the intrusion, but I know a lot of MPI implementers are on this list, and this topic may well interest them) Short version: ============== Sean Hefty from Intel is soliciting feedback from the MPI community about what MPI needs from a new low-level networking API (that hopes to be the successor to libibverbs). He has asked me to gather this feedback and present it to the OpenFabrics "libfabric" working group on January 21. Please a) unicast email to me what you would like to convey to this working group by COB next Tuesday (January 14), and/or b) sign up on the Doodle below to join a webex to review the collected feedback before I present it to the OpenFabrics working group. Due to the short turnaround, I picked several days at the end of next week: http://doodle.com/44uea5v38euu6smh More detail: ============ As some of you may already be aware, Sean Hefty at Intel is leading an effort in the OpenFabrics community to basically re-design the network layer API for userspace to talk directly with hardware. Sean has been presenting his vision of this new "libfabric" for a little while now; he even hosted a BOF about it at SC'13. You can think of it as "verbs 2.0", but it's really quite a bit more than that: a) it's starting the API over from scratch b) there's no implicit design requirements for InfiniBand c) there's no need to be API/ABI compatible with current generations of the libibverbs API One of the major explicit goals of libfabric is to support MPI well. Bad memory registration support is probably the easiest-to-discuss verbs complaint that we MPI developers have had over the years, but there are other areas where verbs is lacking, too. Now is the chance for us to voice MPI's requirements. Here's my plan: 1. I have many opinions in this area, and I know many of you do, too. Please send me your opinions and feedback in whatever format you'd prefer: - email/text - slides - word documents - pictures of whiteboards with notes - ...etc. NOTE: The OpenFabrics working group is basically assuming that we can all rattle off the tops of our heads what MPI wants (which is probably a good assumption), so please send your feedback by COB Tuesday, January 14, 2014. 2. I'll take all this feedback and assemble it into a cohesive story/set of slides. 3. I'll then host a webex late next week (signup on the Doodle so that we can find a time that works for the most people) to both go over the slides from the feedback received so far as well as solicit any further feedback from people on the call. http://doodle.com/44uea5v38euu6smh 4. Finally, I'll take the results of discussion from the webex and present the final slides to the OpenFabrics working group on Jan 21. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for your time. -- Jeff Squyres jsquyres(a)cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
