<div>2nd CALL FOR PAPERS</div>
<div>5th Workshop on Fault-Tolerance for HPC at eXtreme Scale (FTXS 2015)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In conjunction with</div>
<div>The 24th International ACM Symposium on</div>
<div>High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 2015)</div>
<div>Portland, Oregon, USA on June 15 19, 2015</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Authors are invited to submit original papers on the research and practice of</div>
<div>fault-tolerance in extreme scale (HPC) computing. Resilience and</div>
<div>fault-tolerance remain a major concern for supercomputing and advances in this</div>
<div>area are needed to allow applications to compute accurate (or within error</div>
<div>tolerance) answers in a timely and efficient manner in the presence of</div>
<div>degradations or failures of platform components (both hardware and software).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Topics include, but are not limited to:</div>
<div>* Failure data analysis and field studies</div>
<div>* Power, performance, resilience (PPR) assessments / tradeoffs</div>
<div>* Novel fault-tolerance techniques and implementations</div>
<div>* Emerging hardware and software technology for resilience</div>
<div>* Silent data corruption (SDC) detection / correction techniques</div>
<div>* Advances in reliability monitoring, analysis, and control of highly</div>
<div> complex systems</div>
<div>* Failure prediction, error preemption, and recovery techniques</div>
<div>* Fault-tolerant programming models</div>
<div>* Models for software and hardware reliability</div>
<div>* Metrics and standards for measuring, improving, and enforcing effective</div>
<div> fault-tolerance</div>
<div>* Scalable Byzantine fault-tolerance and security from single-fault and</div>
<div> fail-silent violations</div>
<div>* Atmospheric evaluations relevant to HPC systems (terrestrial neutrons,</div>
<div> temperature, voltage, etc.)</div>
<div>* Near-threshold-voltage implications and evaluations for reliability</div>
<div>* Benchmarks and experimental environments including fault injection</div>
<div>* Frameworks and APIs for fault-tolerance and fault management</div>

</div>
<div>AMD will sponsor the FTXS 2015 best paper award! The award will be chosen by</div>
<div>the PC and awarded at the workshop.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>PAPER SUBMISSIONS</div>
<div>Submissions are solicited in the following categories:</div>
<div>* Regular papers presenting innovative ideas improving the state of the</div>
<div> art.</div>
<div>* Experience papers discussing the issues seen on existing extreme-scale</div>
<div> systems, including some form of analysis and evaluation.</div>
<div>* Extended abstracts proposing disruptive ideas in the field, including</div>
<div> some form of preliminary results.</div>
<div><br>
