HiPINEB 2017

The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on High-Performance Interconnection Networks in the Exascale and Big-Data Era

To be held in conjunction with the IEEE HPCA Conference
5 February 2017

Hilton Austin, 500 E 4th

Austin, TX, USA

The main goal of the third edition of HiPINEB 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.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

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.
• Good practices in the configuration of the network control software.
• Network communication protocols: MPI, RDMA, MapReduce, 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.
• Interfacing accelerators through the interconnect (GPUs, Xeon Phi, etc).
• Network infrastructure in distributed storage, distributed databases and Big-Data.

Further details are provided in the Call for Papers Section.

SPECIAL ISSUE
