Call for Papers
Special Session on
Processor Allocation and Scheduling in
High-Performance Computing Systems:
Design and Performance
In The 2007 ACS/IEEE
International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications (AICCSA 2007)
May
13-16, 2007,
Sponsored by IEEE Computer
Society, Arab Computer Society, and
SCOPE
Efficient processor allocation and job scheduling
strategies are among the key factors in harnessing maximum possible
computational power gained from employing high-performance parallel systems. Research
on processor allocation and job scheduling has recently witnessed intense
activities due to the challenging problems posed by large-scale, cluster, or
grid systems, containing thousands of computing engines.
Papers are solicited which contain novel ideas and
research results relevant to the design and performance evaluation and of
processor allocation and job scheduling strategies. Papers surveying the
state-of-the-art are also very welcome. The topics considered in this special
session include, but are not limited to:
- Processor allocation in parallel, cluster, and grid
systems
- Job scheduling in parallel, cluster,
and grid systems
- Resource management
- Real workload models
- Stochastic models
- Simulation and modeling.
- Traces and measurement
- Performance comparison
- Performance metrics
- Performance analysis and Evaluation
- Impact of system software on
allocation and scheduling (e.g., OS, middleware, ...)
- Impact of system hardware on
allocation and scheduling (e.g., CPU, communication networks, memory, ...)
- Improvement in system performance through allocation and scheduling
- Case studies showing the impact of allocation and scheduling in system performance
SUBMISSION
OF PAPERS
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting
original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to
the special session. Papers must not exceed 20 pages double spaced 10-12 point
font. Papers must not be published or under consideration to be published
elsewhere. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format by sending
it as an e-mail attachment to saad@dcs.gla.ac.uk
or mohamed@dcs.gla.ac.uk. All
papers will be peer reviewed according to the procedures established by the
conference. Review comments will be provided to the authors.
Accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society and be available at IEEE XploreTM. Extended versions of selected papers will be
considered for possible publication in scholarly journals.
