<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">CALL FOR PAPERS</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">6th Workshop on Fault-Tolerance for HPC at eXtreme Scale (FTXS 2016)</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">In conjunction with</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">The 25th International ACM Symposium on</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC 2016)</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">Kyoto, Japan on May 31 June 4, 2016</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">Authors are invited to submit original papers on the research and practice</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">of</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">fault-tolerance in extreme scale (HPC) computing. Resilience and</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">fault-tolerance remain a major concern for supercomputing and advances in</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">this area are needed to allow applications to compute accurate (or within</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">error tolerance) answers in a timely and efficient manner in the presence</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">of degradations or failures of platform components (both hardware and</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">software).</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">Topics include, but are not limited to:</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Failure data analysis and field studies</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Power, performance, resilience (PPR) assessments / tradeoffs</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Novel fault-tolerance techniques and implementations</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Emerging hardware and software technology for resilience</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Silent data corruption (SDC) detection / correction techniques</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Advances in reliability monitoring, analysis, and control of highly</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">complex systems</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Failure prediction, error preemption, and recovery techniques</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Fault-tolerant programming models</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Models for software and hardware reliability</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Metrics and standards for measuring, improving, and enforcing effective</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">fault-tolerance</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Scalable Byzantine fault-tolerance and security from single-fault and</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">fail-silent violations</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Atmospheric evaluations relevant to HPC systems (terrestrial neutrons,</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">temperature, voltage, etc.)</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Near-threshold-voltage implications and evaluations for reliability</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Benchmarks and experimental environments including fault injection</div>
<div style="font-size: medium; font-family: Consolas;">* Frameworks and APIs for fault-tolerance and fault management</div>
