The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in parallel programming models and systems software for high-end computing architectures. Please join us in a discussion of new ideas, experiences, and the latest trends in these areas at the workshop.

The focus areas for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

• Systems software for high-end scientific and enterprise computing architectures
• Communication sub-subsystems for high-end computing
• High-performance File and storage systems
• Fault-tolerance techniques and implementations
• Efficient and high-performance virtualization and other management mechanisms for high-end computing
• Programming models and their high-performance implementations
• MPI, Sockets, OpenMP, Global Arrays, X10, UPC, Chapel, Fortress and others
• Hybrid Programming Models
• Tools for Management, Maintenance, Coordination and Synchronization
• Software for Enterprise Data-centers using Modern Architectures
• Job scheduling libraries
• Management libraries for large-scale system
• Toolkits for process and task coordination on modern platforms
• Performance evaluation, analysis and modeling of emerging computing platforms

Proceedings of this workshop will be published by the IEEE Computer Society (together with the ICPP conference proceedings) in CD format only and will be available at the conference.

Submissions should be in PDF format in U.S. letter size paper, and should be formatted according to the IEEE standard double-column format with a font size 10 pt or larger. They should not exceed 8 pages (all inclusive). Submissions will be judged based on relevance, significance, originality, correctness and clarity.

Submissions can be made at this link.

All the papers accepted for this workshop are invited for the submission to a special issue on Programming Models and Systems Software Support for High-End Computing Applications of the International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications (IJHPCA). The accepted paper list can be found on the preliminary program page. The submission to the journal special issue is by invitation only, and the submission deadline is July 12^th, 2009.
