\n======================================================================<\/p>\n
\nand Applications gears to gather recent work on heterogeneous and
\nunconventional cluster architectures and applications, which might
\nhave an impact on future mainstream cluster architectures. This
\nincludes any cluster architecture that is not based on the usual
\ncommodity components and therefore makes use of some special hard- or
\nsoftware elements, or that is used for special and unconventional
\napplications. In particular we call for GPUs and other accelerators
\n(Intel MIC\/Xeon Phi, FPGA) used at cluster level. Even though
\naccelerators are already used pervasively, we still see many
\nunconventional and even disruptive uses of them.<\/p>\n
\npractices to improve the energy efficiency of cluster computing. This
\nincludes for instance specialized hardware and power-\/energy-aware
\nsoftware layers. Power consumption is a hard constraint, and
\npredictions show that this trend will not revert in the future. For
\nthe nascent field of power- and energy-aware computing, we see a
\nlarge need in sharing experiences, best practices and new ideas.<\/p>\n
\nscores with other contributions. However, HUCAA also welcomes
\ncontributions on other topics (examples see below). Also, proposals
\nmay rather be reflective of a broader industry trend; in general
\ncontributions are not only accepted based on their technical merits
\nbut also according to their contribution to the discussion on how
\ncluster computing might evolve in the future.<\/p>\n
\nwith other contributions. However, HUCAA still welcomes contributions
\nto other topics, including:<\/p>\n
\no Runtimes for heterogeneous cluster architectures
\no New industry and technology trends and their potential impact
\no High-performance, data-intensive, and power-aware computing
\no Communication methods for distributed or clustered accelerators
\no Application-specific cluster and datacenter architectures
\no Emerging programming paradigms for parallel heterogeneous computing
\no Software cluster-level virtualization for consolidation purposes
\no Hardware techniques for resource aggregation
\no New uses of GPUs, FPGAs, and other specialized hardware<\/p>\n
\nNotification of acceptance: July 15th, 2015

\nreferences, and must be formatted in the 2-column IEEE format.
\nSubmitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is
\nnot under consideration for another conference or journal. Work in
\nprogress is welcome, but first results should be made available as a
\nproof of concept. Submissions only consisting of a proposal will be
\nrejected. Please visit the workshop website for additional details.<\/p>\n
