lusters are the primary architecture for building today′s rapidly<br>evolving cloud and HPC infrastructures, and are used to solve some of<br>the most complex problems. The challenge to make them scalable,<br>efficient, and more functional requires a community effort in the<br>areas of cluster system design, management and monitoring, at the<br>hardware, system, middleware and application levels.<br>Following the successes of previous IEEE Cluster conferences, for 2016<br>we again solicit high–quality original work that advances the<br>state–of–the–art in clusters and closely related fields. All papers<br>will be rigorously peer–reviewed for their originality, technical<br>depth and correctness, potential impact, relevance to the conference,<br>and quality of presentation. Research papers must clearly demonstrate<br>novel research contributions while papers reporting experiences must<br>clearly describe lessons learned and impact, along with the utility of<br>the approach compared to previous ones.<br>Authors must indicate the primary area of preference out of the four<br>areas below. They may optionally rank the other areas. The paper may<br>be accepted as a full paper, or the committee might decide to accept<br>it as a short paper with 4 pages in the proceedings.<br>Area 1: Application, Algorithms, and Libraries<br>* HPC applications on clusters<br>* Performance modeling and measurement<br>* Novel algorithms on clusters<br>* Hybrid programming techniques (e.g., MPI+OpenMP)<br>* Cluster benchmarks<br>* Application–level libraries on clusters<br>* Effective use of clusters in novel applications<br>* Performance evaluation tools<br>Area 2: Architecture, Network/Communications, and Management<br>* Energy–efficient cluster architectures<br>* Node and system architecture<br>* Packaging, power and cooling<br>* GPU/ManyCore and heterogeneous clusters<br>* Interconnect/memory architectures<br>* Single system image clusters<br>* Administration and maintenance tools<br>Area 3: Programming and System Software<br>* Cluster system software/operating systems<br>* Cloud–enabling cluster technologies and virtualization<br>* Energy–efficient middleware<br>* Cluster system–level protocols and APIs<br>* Cluster security<br>* Resource and job management<br>* Programming and software development environments on clusters<br>* Fault tolerance and high–availability<br>Area 4: Data, Storage, and Visualization<br>* Cluster architectures for big data storage and processing<br>* Middleware for big data management<br>* Cluster–based cloud architectures for big data<br>* File systems and I/O libraries<br>* Support and integration of non–volatile memory<br>* Visualization clusters and tiled displays<br>* Big data visualization tools<br>* Programming models for big data processing<br>* Big data application studies on cluster architectures<br>
