15th Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing
In Conjunction with
IPDPS 2010
Atlanta, GA
23 April 2010
The JSSPP workshop, ranking consistently in the top 10% of Citeseer's venue
impact ranking, addresses most scheduling aspects of parallel processing.
More than ever, this topic has grown in relevance and scope, and
includes not only traditional supercomputers and clusters, but also emerging
platforms and paradigms, such as multi-core and many-core systems,
virtualization, Grids, and cloud computing. Within this domain, JSSPP solicits papers
that fall under but are not limited to any of the following themes:
- Experience with and design of parallel scheduling systems of all scales.
- Performance evaluation, methodology, and simulation of parallel
scheduling, including benchmarks and metrics.
- Workload characterization, classification, and modeling.
- General scheduling aspects: fairness, priorities, accounting issues,
performance guarantees, QoS, and load estimation.
- Scheduling within virtualized systems, grids, and compute clouds,
including interaction of local schedulers and higher level schedulers.
- Effect of scheduling on application performance, interactivity,
and interaction with memory, caches, and I/O performance.
Submission Dates and Guidelines
| DEADLINE: | 23 January 2010 |
| NOTIFICATION: | 28 Feburary 2010 |
| FINAL COPY DUE: | 28 March 2010
|
Papers should be no longer than 20 single-spaced pages, 10pt font,
including figures and references. All papers in scope will be
reviewed. As accepted final papers will have to follow the LNCS format,
authors may choose to already pre-format their submittal based on
the
instructions at Springer's web site.
Files should be submitted in PDF format. Authors must ensure that electronically
submitted files are formatted for 8.5x11 inch paper.
The submission process will be handled by the EDAS system.

Goals
Continuing the tradition established at IPPS'95, the workshop is intended to
attract people from academia, industry, supercomputing centers, national
laboratories, Grid initiatives, and parallel computer vendors to address resource management
issues in parallel systems, and attempt to resolve conflicting goals such
as short response times for interactive work, minimal interference with batch jobs,
fairness to users based on their priorities, and high system utilization. We aim to
balance between
- reports of current practices in the entire range of parallel systems,
- proposals of novel schemes that have not yet been tested in a real environment, and
- realistic models and their analysis.
Registration
Registration will be part of the IPDPS process and is handled by the IEEE.
For details, see the IPDPS web site.
Proceedings
Interim proceedings containing a collection of the papers presented will be
distributed at the workshop. It is planned to also publish a post-workshop
proceedings in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes on Computer Science series,
as was done in previous years (pending approval from Springer).
