MTC, the theme of the workshop = encompasses loosely coupled applications, which are generally composed of m= any tasks (both independent and dependent tasks) to achieve some larger app= lication goal. This workshop will cover challenges that can hamper efficie= ncy 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 mana= gement, I/O management, reliability at scale, and application scalability. = We welcome paper submissions on all theoretical, simulations, and systems t= opics related to MTC, but we give special consideration to papers addressin= g petascale to exascale challenges. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accep= ted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM= digital library (pending approval). The workshop will be co-located with t= he IEEE/ACM Supercomputing 2014 Conference in New Orleans on November 17th,= 2014. For more information, please see http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/events/MT= AGS14/. For more information on past workshops, please see MTAGS13, MTAGS12, MTAGS1= 1, MTAGS10, MTAGS09, and MTAGS08. We also ran a Special Issue on Many-Task = Computing in the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPD= S) which appeared in June 2011; the proceedings can be found online at http= ://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/abs/trans/td/2011/06/ttd201106toc.htm. = We, the workshop organizers, also published a highly relevant paper that de= fines Many-Task Computing which was published in MTAGS08, titled =93Many-Ta= sk Computing for Grids and Supercomputers=94; we encourage potential author= s to read this paper, and to clearly articulate in your paper submissions h= ow your papers are related to Many-Task Computing. Topics ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------ We invite the submission of original work that is related to the topics bel= ow. The papers should be 6 pages, including all figures and references. We = aim to cover topics related to Many-Task Computing on each of the three maj= or distributed systems paradigms, Cloud Computing, Grid Computing and Super= computing. Topics of interest include: * Compute Resource Management * Scheduling * Job execution frameworks * Local resource manager extensions * Performance evaluation of resource managers in use on large scale syst= ems * Dynamic resource provisioning * Techniques to manage many-core resources and/or GPUs * Challenges and opportunities in running many-task workloads on HPC sys= tems * Challenges and opportunities in running many-task workloads on Cloud C= omputing infrastructure * Storage architectures and implementations * Distributed file systems * Parallel file systems * Distributed meta-data management * Content distribution systems for large data * Data caching frameworks and techniques * Data management within and across data centers * Data-aware scheduling * Data-intensive computing applications * Eventual-consistency storage usage and management * Programming models and tools * Map-reduce and its generalizations * Many-task computing middleware and applications * Parallel programming frameworks * Ensemble MPI techniques and frameworks * Service-oriented science applications * Large-Scale Workflow Systems * Workflow system performance and scalability analysis * Scalability of workflow systems * Workflow infrastructure and e-Science middleware * Programming Paradigms and Models * Large-Scale Many-Task Applications * High-throughput computing (HTC) applications * Data-intensive applications * Quasi-supercomputing applications, deployments, and experiences * Performance Evaluation * Performance evaluation * Real systems * Simulations * Reliability of large systems Paper Submission and Publication ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------ Authors are invited to submit papers with unpublished, original work of not= more than 6 pages of double column text using single spaced 10 point size = on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, as per ACM 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines; document= templates can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings= -templates. The final 6 page papers in PDF format must be submitted online = at https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/MTAGS2014/ before the deadline of Aug= ust 25th, 2014 at 11:59PM PST (note that an abstract must be submitted 1 we= ek prior to the deadline, on August 18th, 2014). Papers will be peer-review= ed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as pa= rt of the ACM digital library (in cooperation with SIGHPC). Notifications o= f the paper decisions will be sent out by September 22nd, 2014. Accepted wo= rkshop papers will be eligible for additional post-conference publication a= s journal articles in the IEEE Transaction on Cloud Computing, Special Issu= e on Many-Task Computing in the Cloud (papers will be due in February 2015,= file:///C:/Users/iraicu/Documents/Webs/DataSys/events/TCC-MTC15/index.html= ). Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to reg= ister and present the paper. For more information, please see http://datasy= s.cs.iit.edu/events/MTAGS14/.
