The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on High-Performance Interconnection Networks in the Exascale and Big-Data Era

Held in conjunction with IEEE HPCA 2016

March 12, 2016. Barcelona, Spain

 

The main goal of the second HiPINEB workshop is to gather and discuss in a full-day event the latest and most prominent efforts and advances, both from industry and academia, in the design and development of scalable high-performance interconnection networks, especially those oriented to meet the Exascale challenge and Big-data demands.

Main Topics

The list of topics covered by this workshop includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Interconnect architectures and network technologies for high-speed, low-latency interconnects.
  • Scalable network topologies, suitable for interconnecting a huge number of nodes.
  • Power saving policies in the interconnect devices and network infrastructure, both at software and hardware level.
  • Emerging ideas, work-in-progress and early, high-impact achievements.
  • Good practices in the configuration of the network control software.
  • Network communication protocols: MPI, RDMA, Hadoop, etc.
  • APIs and support for programming models.
  • Routing algorithms.
  • Quality of Service (QoS).
  • Reliability and Fault tolerance.
  • Load balancing and traffic scheduling.
  • Network Virtualization.
  • Congestion Management.
  • Applications and Traffic characterization.
  • Modeling and simulation tools.
  • Performance Evaluation.
