Fifth
High-Performance
Grid Computing Workshop
April 14, 2008,
Miami, Florida USA
in conjunction with
International
Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium - IPDPS 2008
April 14-18, 2008,
Miami, Florida USA
Background
Grids
are becoming important engines for
solving large computational and and storage problems. Grids are used
for collecting, processing, and searching large data sets
both in
academia and in industry. Just a few examples: TeraGrid (USA),
Coherence (Oracle), Grid'5000 (France), DataGrid (EU), USAtlas Grid and
LHG for LHC indicate the wide proliferation of grid computing. The High
Performance Grid Computing workshop provides a forum for researchers
from academia and industry to present their latest results in the
theory and practice of grid computing. The workshop invites researchers
to submit papers on all aspects of grid computing.
|
Topics |
- Applications:
Theory and practice of grid computing. Solution of large problems
on grids.
- Benchmarking:
Evaluating performance of grid hardware and middleware. Grid
benchmarking.
- Infrastructure:
Implementation and evaluation of grid middleware.
- Data Grids:
Use of
grids for analysis of large data sets.
- Management and Scheduling:
Management, monitoring, resource allocation, and scheduling.
- Partitioning and Load
Balancing: Mapping data and
applications on computational grids.
- Programming Models:
Methods for remote execution and intertask communications, including
message passing and RPC.

Final
submission of accepted papers:
please visit the IPDPS
author resources page for
instructions.
We
invite submissions not exceeding eight
single-spaced pages. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be
under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal. Each
paper will be refereed by at least three independent reviewers. Paper
submission indicates the intention of the author to
present the paper at the HPGC workshop at IPDPS 2008.
Click here to submit
your paper. In the event of any
difficulty with the EDAS
submission system, send to hpgc@unb.ca instead.
Submission
deadline: November 16, 2007. There
will be NO
extension of this deadline. Authors will be notified by December 21,
2007.
The
HPGC workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer
Society along with the IPDPS
conference proceedings.
