CALL FOR PAPERS
IJHPCA Special issue
Resilience Techniques for High-Performance Computing
Submission Deadline: June 15, 2014


The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications 
(IJHPCA)
seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on Resilience Techniques
for High-Performance Computing (HPC),  scheduled to appear in September 
2015.

Reliability is a major concern for the current generation of HPC systems
and future exascale platforms. The IESP (see 
\url{http://www.exascale.org}) projects
a decrease of the mean time to interruption of at least one order of 
magnitude,
compared to the current situation, making irrelevant the most popular 
approaches
currently used in production. HPC applications and system software have 
to take failures
and errors into account and use advanced resilience techniques.

This special-issue seeks papers on all aspects related to resilience for 
HPC.
Its goal is to further understand the impact and applicability of 
fault-tolerance approaches at scale.
This special issue will include, but not be limited to, papers in the 
following topical areas:
- Checkpointing libraries, protocols, models, algorithms and interval 
optimization
- Execution state compression, deduplication and storage, including file 
system optimizations
- Failure prediction
- Silent data corruption detection
- Resilient communication libraries (MPI, PGAS, etc.),
- Resilient algorithms for supporting system software (RAS system, 
resource manager, etc.)
- System software support for resilience, including resilience 
backplanes and recovery approach selection
- Replication and migration
- Application and algorithm-specific techniques (ABFT, resilient 
iterative methods, etc.)
- Energy-aware resilience
- Performance evaluation of resilience methods
- Approaches combining several techniques
