Fourteenth International Workshop on
Parallel Programming Models and Systems Software for
High-End Computing (P2S2), 2021

To be held in conjunction with
ICPP 2021: The 50th International Conference on Parallel Processing
in Chicago, Illinois, USA

Workshop Goal

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in parallel programming models and systems software for high-end computing architectures. Please join us in a discussion of new ideas, experiences, and the latest trends in these areas at the workshop.

Topics of Interest

The focus areas for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

  • Systems software for high-end scientific and enterprise computing architectures
    • Communication sub-subsystems for high-end computing
    • High-performance File and storage systems
    • Fault-tolerance techniques and implementations
    • Efficient and high-performance virtualization and other management mechanisms for high-end computing
  • Programming models and their high-performance implementations
    • MPI, Sockets, OpenMP, Global Arrays, X10, UPC, CAF, Chapel, and others
    • Hybrid Programming Models
  • Tools for Management, Maintenance, Coordination and Synchronization
    • Software for Enterprise Data-centers using Modern Architectures
    • Job scheduling libraries
    • Management libraries for large-scale system
    • Toolkits for process and task coordination on modern platforms
  • Performance evaluation, analysis and modeling of emerging computing platforms

Proceedings

Accepted papers will be published by the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS), in conjunction with those of other ICPP workshops, in a volume entitled 50th International Conference on Parallel Processing Workshops (ICPP 2021 Workshops). This volume will be available for download via the ACM Digital Library.
