The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Sustainable HPC Cloud (SHPCloud-2012/HPCC-2012) to be held in Liverpool, England, UK, 25-27 June 2012 http://sites.google.com/a/temple.edu/shpcc12/ Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Technical Committee of Scalable Computing (TCSC) INTRODUCTION Sustainability for HPC applications requires gaining performance and reliability at the same time when acquiring new resources. As cloud-based HPC resources have rapidly become available, the sustainability of HPC applications is a timely challenge to HPC systems and application developers. The HPCC-2012 conference is the 14th highly successful International Conference on High Performance and Communications (HPCC) started in the Netherlands, 1999. HPCC-2012 will be held in Liverpool, United Kingdom from June 25-27, 2012. It will provide a forum for scientists and engineers in academia, industry, and government to discuss the new challenges and to present their research results and experience in all aspects of high performance computing and communications. HPCC-2012 is sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC). SHPCloud-2012 is the second Workshop of Sustainable High Performance Cloud Computing after the first workshop in Banff, Canada, September 2011. For 2012, we will have a new focus on auction-based cloud computing. Auction-based clouds offer the users the most cost effective computing option. It also gives providers the most efficient resource utilization option. The only obstacle to make this win-win combination to become reality is our programming habits. Existing methods are incapable of handling volatile environments. As the computing clouds gain momentum for many applications, this unique resource provides an unparalleled opportunity for HPC research and development. The sustainable computing challenge is applicable to all computing applications as the "1 + 1" challenge – can you gain performance and reliability at the same time when adding resources? Solutions to this challenge can have profound practical and theoretical impacts in computer science research and development. Suggested Topics: * Investigative reports on delivered performance for computation intensive applications with or without failure and recovery * Investigative results on delivered cloud performances for computation intensive applications * Experiences in non-main stream HPC paradigms * Experiences in using auction-based cloud resources * Experiences in virtualized GPU for HPC applications * Experiences in virtualized network for HPC applications * Innovative failure prevention and recovery methods * HPC security considerations using cloud resources * Communication infrastructure virtualization experiences * Private cloud implementation experiences * Innovative cloud auction pricing models Important Dates: * Paper submission deadline: 21 March, 2012, 5pm EST. * Notification of acceptance: 15 April, 2012 5pm EST * Final Manuscript Due: 08 May, 2012 * Registration Due: 08 May, 2012 * Conference Date: 25-27 June, 2012 Submission Instructions: Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent related developments.
