Call for Papers

The OpenSHMEM workshop is an annual event dedicated to the promotion and advancement of parallel programming with the OpenSHMEM programming interface and related technologies. It is the premier venue to discuss and present the latest developments, implementation technology, tools, trends, recent research ideas and results related to OpenSHMEM and its use in applications. This year's workshop will also emphasize OpenSHMEM and related technologies that are part of its ecosystem such as PGAS languages, tools and low level network/communication frameworks. We will also focus on extensions for OpenSHMEM that improve the programmability and interoperability of OpenSHMEM for systems that use accelerators. Although this is an OpenSHMEM specific workshop, we welcome ideas used for other PGAS languages/APIs and additional network programming models that may be applicable to topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited to):

Communications layer/libraries
OpenSNAPI (Smart NICs and Smart Storage)
PGAS and related technologies
Utilizing OpenSHMEM/UCX/Communications libraries in Computational Storage
Scalability or performance issues (of current networks and implementations)
Advanced Memory technologies/impacts on PGAS (Asymmetric memory)

Extensions to support non-volatile, high-bandwidth, and other types of memory

OpenSHMEM/PGAS and their value to ML/AI/Big Data/(I/O) support
Potential enhancements to the current OpenSHMEM Specification

Accelerator-spec version of OpenSHMEM
Fault-tolerance
Runtime checking
Performance analysis tools

Applications experiences with OpenSHMEM, Rust and PGAS languages

Experiences with applications from any domain, especially dynamic and irregular applications

Fugaku supercomputer or HPE80 ARM experiences
Scalable massive multithreading support
Hybrid programming models: OpenSHMEM combined with task-based models (e.g. OCR, HPX, ParSEC) or heterogeneous models (e.g. OpenCL, OpenACC, CUDA, OpenMP)
Experiences implementing OpenSHMEM on new architectures
Power / Energy studies
Static analysis, and verification tools
Performance analysis tools for PGAS languages/APIs
Auto-tuning or optimization strategies
Runtime environments and schedulers
Benchmarks (e.g. OpenHPCA), performance evaluation, and validation suites
New or emerging network programming models

Submissions

The proceedings will be published in a LNCS Springer volume and will be peer-reviewed by the program committee. All authors must first submit a 250-word abstract to register their papers. Once the abstract is accepted, we will encourage the authors to submit full papers. Once the abstract is accepted, we will encourage the authors to submit full or short papers. We will accept full papers of 12-15 pages and short papers of 6-8 pages. Preference will be given to full papers. Papers need to be formatted according to Springer’s single-column style. Please use the paper templates available for LaTeX and Word (https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/conference-proceedings/conference-proceedings-guidelines). The copyright will need to be transferred to Springer. A copyright form will be provided to authors which allows users to self-archive.

Abstracts and papers should be uploaded here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=openshmem2021
