SC15 Unveils Emerging Technologies Bound for Austin

The SC15 Emerging Technologies track has an exciting range of exhibits in store for Austin! Ten successful applications were accepted from over thirty submissions after a rigorous peer review process, with every submission receiving three independent reviews.

This year’s theme “SoC for HPC”, is particularly appropriate for Austin as the city is home to several of the major semiconductor companies working on future SoC (based products optimized for HPC.

SC15 ET submissions fall into three main categories this year: HPC-optimized SoCs, new memory and interconnect architectures, and advanced cooling technologies. Advances in all of these areas are set to revolutionize HPC, and the exhibits chosen for SC15 should offer an insight into the kinds of technologies that should emerge onto the market over the next 5-10 years.

Four exhibits present future HPC-optimized SoCs. These include: advanced tools provided by the Co-Design for Exascale (CoDEx) project running on a cloud-based FPGA system (LBNL); GoblinCore-64: An Emerging, Open Architecture for Data Intensive High Performance Computing (Texas Tech University); Automata Processing: A Massively Parallel Computing Solution (Micron Technology); and ExaNoDe: European Exascale Processor and Memory Node Design (CEA-Leti).

Two exhibits present new memory or interconnect technologies: Emerging Technology for Persistent Challenges in Optical Interconnects and Photonics Packaging (nanoPrecision Products); and openHMC - A Configurable Open-Source Hybrid Memory Cube Controller (Heidelberg University).

Finally, four exhibits showcase emerging cooling technologies. These include: DOME Hot-Water Cooled Multinode 64 Bit Microserver Cluster (IBM Research Zurich); a Mineral Oil-Based Direct Liquid Cooling System (Seoul National University and ManyCoreSoft Co.); Liquid Cooling for Exascale Computing (Iceotope); and LiquidCool Solutions Project Clamshell: Novel Cooling Technology (LiquidCool Solutions and McMahon Consulting).

The SC15 Emerging Technology exhibit area is located near the main entrance to the exhibit hall, make sure you include time in your schedule to take a peek into the future!

Show Off Your Next-Gen Innovations in the Emerging Technologies Track

The Emerging Technologies (ET) track is welcoming submissions for any new, potentially disruptive technology that might have a big impact on the HPC landscape in the medium to long term (5-15 years). While submissions from any potentially relevant emerging technology is welcomed, for 2015 we will have a particular focus on SoCs for HPC”. System-on-a-Chip (SoC) technologies which might be highly advantageous for HPC and so an exploration of how this space might disrupt HPC is timely.

BoFs: Engage with Your HPC Community
Don't just observe, ENGAGE!
SC15 is soliciting submissions for Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions which are among the most interactive, diverse, popular, and well-attended sessions of the SC conference series. The BoF sessions provide a non-commercial, dynamic venue for conference attendees to openly discuss current topics of focused mutual interest within the HPC community with a strong emphasis on audience-driven discussion, professional networking and grassroots participation.

Submit Your Best Movies to the Scientific Visualization Showcase!
SC15’s Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase Program provides a forum for the year's most instrumental movies in HPC.  Six finalists will compete for the Best Visualization Award, and each finalist will present his or her movie during a dedicated session at SC15 in a 15-minute presentation. Movies are judged based on how their movie illuminates science, by the quality of the movie, and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie.

Showcase Your HPC Dissertation
The Doctoral Showcase Program invites graduating Ph.D. students in high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis to present their dissertation research and engage in stimulating discussions with the SC community. This program provides a unique opportunity for you, the graduate students, to engage and get feedback from other students, senior researchers and future employers! Don't be afraid to show off your HPC talents!

Submissions Open for Emerging Technologies Track

The SC Emerging Technologies (ET) track is welcoming submissions for any new, potentially disruptive technology that might have a big impact on the HPC landscape in the medium to long term (5-15 years). While submissions from any potentially relevant emerging technology is welcomed, for 2015 we will have a particular focus on “SoCs for HPC”. System-on-a-Chip (SoC) technologies which might be highly advantageous for HPC and so an exploration of how this space might disrupt HPC is timely.

For 2015, ET topics of interest will therefore include innovative architectures, operating environments, programming systems, energy efficiency, use cases, applications, etc.  Submissions that highlight relevance for HPC environments, systems and workloads would be of particular interest.

Successful submissions will receive floor space in a high visibility location as part of the technical program to allow SC15 attendees the opportunity to witness technology demonstrations and to engage with presenters in in-depth technical discussions.

Submissions due: Friday, July 31 (2-page all inclusive)

Now Accepting Emerging Technology Submissions

In the Emerging Technologies track, SC15 will examine innovative solutions that may significantly change and extend the world of HPC in the next five to fifteen years. Consisting of panel sessions and competitively selected exhibits, Emerging Technologies will showcase technologies that are innovative, but not yet available from industry as products.

SC15 invites submissions from industry, academia, and government researchers. For more information on the Emerging Technology track or the submission process, click here.

Submission Deadline: July 31, 2015
