Call for Papers (closed!)
In recent years, the availability of high-speed networks and high-performance
microprocessors is making networks of computers an appealing vehicle for
cost-effective parallel computing. Clusters/networks of computers (workstations/PCs/SMPs)
built using commodity hardware and software are playing a major role in
redefining the concept of supercomputing. As a whole, clusters are
becoming an alternative to MPPs and supercomputers in many areas of application.
The focus of this special session will be on both hardware and software
aspects of computing on clusters. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
Cluster Hardware (Cluster of PCs, Workstations,
or SMPs)
High Perormance Communication Networks and
Interfaces
Light Weight Communication Protocols
Cluster Middleware
Single System Image
Infrastructure
System Availabilty
Infrastructure
Issues in Building Scalable Services
File Systems and Parallel I/O
Job and Resource Management
Data Distribution and Load Balancing
Programming Paradigms/Environment for Clusters
Message Passing Systems such as MPI and PVM
for Clusters
Problem Solving Environments for Clusters
Tools for Operating and Managing Clusters
Java for High Performance Computing
Algorithms for Solving Problems on Clusters
Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications
on Clusters
Submission should include authors names, affiliations, addresses, fax
and phone numbers, email addresses, on the cover page. Submission implies
the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present
the paper. Please submit full paper not exceeding 5 (or 7) single spaced pages
in file of the paper (preferably viewable by ghostview); also send a separate
email with authors' names, addresses, title and abstract of the paper.
Hard copies should be sent only if electronic submission is not possible.
All papers selected for this session will be published in the PDPTA'99
conference proceedings. Please send full paper for consideration to this
special session to:
