Sponsored by IEEE Supercomputing Conference 2012 (http://sc12.supercomputing.org/)



INTRODUCTION

HPC Cloud computing offers better resource utilization and more software flexibility to researchers. There are also challenges. These include virtual
machine administration complexities and less performance compared to traditional HPC clusters. As a budding community, we are always looking for credible
experiences in using HPC cloud for different types of applications. The SHPCloud workshop is dedicated to disseminate research reports and experiences
in HPC Cloud applications, architecture and smart ways to mitigate sticky issues.

For Supercomputing 2012, we are excited to have a chance to trade our struggles with researchers around world.

Suggested Topics (but not limited to):?
* Investigative reports on delivered performance for computation intensive applications with or without failure and recovery
* Investigative results on delivered cloud performances for computation intensive applications
* Experiences in non-main stream HPC paradigms
* Experiences in using auction-based cloud resources
* Experiences in virtualized GPU for HPC applications
* Experiences in virtualized network for HPC applications
* Innovative failure prevention and recovery methods
* HPC security considerations using cloud resources
* Communication infrastructure virtualization experiences
* Private cloud implementation experiences
* Innovative cloud auction pricing models

* Resource usage prediction models
