                         Call For Participation

    Third International Workshop on Communication Architectures for
        HPC, Big Data, Deep Learning and Clouds at Extreme Scale
                            (ExaComm 2017)

                  June 22, 2017, Frankfurt, Germany

                   to be held in conjunction with
                    ISC 2017, June 18 - 22, 2017
                         Frankfurt, Germany

========================================================================


Extreme Scale Computing in HPC, Big Data, Deep Learning, and Clouds are
marked by multiple levels of hierarchy and heterogeneity ranging from the
compute units (many-core CPUs, GPUs, APUs etc) to storage devices (NVMe,
NVMe over Fabrics etc) to the network interconnects (InfiniBand, High-Speed
Ethernet, Omni-Path etc). Owing to the plethora of heterogeneous
communication paths with different cost models expected to be present in
extreme scale systems, data movement is seen as the soul of different
challenges for exascale computing. On the other hand, advances in
networking technologies such as NoCs (like NVLink and Stormlake), RDMA
enabled networks and the likes are constantly pushing the envelope of
research in the field of novel communication and computing architectures
for extreme scale computing.  The goal of this workshop is to bring
together researchers and software/hardware designers from academia,
industry and national laboratories who are involved in creating
network-based computing solutions for extreme-scale architectures. The
objectives of this workshop will be to share the experiences of the members
of this community and to learn the opportunities and challenges in the
design trends for exascale communication architectures.

ExaComm 2017 will be held in conjunction with the International
Supercomputing (ISC 2017), Frankfurt, Germany, on Thursday, June 22, 2017.
