HIPS 2017

22nd International Workshop on High-Level Parallel Programming Models and Supportive Environments

Held in Conjunction With 31st IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium
May 29-June 2, 2017
Buena Vista Palace Hotel, orlando, florida USA

Overview

The 22nd HIPS workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting on May 29th at the IEEE IPDPS 2017 conference in Orlando, focuses on high-level programming of multiprocessors, compute clusters, and massively parallel machines. Like previous workshops in the series, which was established in 1996, this event serves as a forum for research in the areas of parallel applications, language design, compilers, runtime systems, and programming tools. It provides a timely and lightweight forum for scientists and engineers to present the latest ideas and findings in these rapidly changing fields. In our call for papers, we especially encouraged innovative approaches in the areas of emerging programming models for large-scale parallel systems and many-core architectures.

Keynote (9:00 - 10:00):

Scalable Fault Tolerance at the Extreme Scale

Zizhong Chen, University of California, Riverside

Abstract:
Extreme scale supercomputers are expected to have 100 million to 1 billion computing cores. Due to the large number of cores used, extreme scale scientific applications must be protected from errors. When an error occurs, the affected application either continues or stops. If the application continues, we call it a fail-continue error. Otherwise, we call it a fail-stop error. In this talk, I will discuss our recent work on scalable fault tolerance at the extreme scale. We have developed some highly efficient techniques for selected widely used scientific algorithms to tolerate both fail-continue and fail-stop errors according to their specific algorithmic characteristics. By leveraging the algorithmic characteristics, the proposed techniques can achieve much higher efficiency than the traditional general techniques (i.e., Triple Modular Redundancy for fail-continue errors and checkpoint/restart for fail-stop errors) and therefore have potential to scale to exascale and beyond. A highly scalable checkpointing scheme is also developed for general applications.
