CALL FOR PAPERS 4th Workshop on Many-Task Computing on Grids and Supercomputers (MTAGS) 2011 http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/MTAGS11/index.html http://sc11.supercomputing.org/schedule/event_detail.php?evid=wksp122 ***DEADLINE EXTENSION -- September 26th, 2011* The 4th workshop on Many-Task Computing on Grids and Supercomputers (MTAGS11) will provide the scientific community a dedicated forum for presenting new research, development, and deployment efforts of large-scale many-task computing (MTC) applications on large scale clusters, Grids, Supercomputers, and Cloud Computing infrastructure. MTC, the theme of the workshop encompasses loosely coupled applications, which are generally composed of many tasks (both independent and dependent tasks) to achieve some larger application goal. This workshop will cover challenges that can hamper efficiency and utilization in running applications on large-scale systems, such as local resource manager scalability and granularity, efficient utilization of raw hardware, parallel file system contention and scalability, data management, I/O management, reliability at scale, and application scalability. *General Chairs (mtags11-chairs@datasys.cs.iit.edu )* * Ioan Raicu, Illinois Institute of Technology & Argonne National Laboratory, USA * Ian Foster, University of Chicago & Argonne National Laboratory, USA * Yong Zhao, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China -- ================================================================= Ioan Raicu, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Guest Research Faculty, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) ================================================================= Data-Intensive Distributed Systems Laboratory, CS/IIT Distributed Systems Laboratory, MCS/ANL ================================================================= Cel: 1-847-722-0876 Office: 1-312-567-5704 Email: iraicu@cs.iit.edu Web: http://www.cs.iit.edu/~iraicu/ Web: http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/ ================================================================= =================================================================
