BACKGROUND AND TOPICS
---------------------
EuroMPI is the preeminent meeting for users, developers and
researchers to interact and discuss new developments and applications
of message-passing parallel computing, in particular in and related to
the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The annual meeting has a long,
rich tradition, and has been held in European countries. In the 21st
EuroMPI, the conference venue is at Kyoto, Japan, outside of Europe.
Following past meetings, EuroMPI/ASIA 2014 will continue to focus
on not just MPI, but also extensions or alternative interfaces for
high-performance homogeneous/heterogeneous/hybrid systems, benchmarks,
tools, parallel I/O, fault tolerance, and parallel applications using
MPI and other interfaces. Through the presentation of contributed
papers, poster presentations and invited talks, attendees will have
the opportunity to share ideas and experiences to contribute to the
improvement and furthering of message-passing and related parallel
programming paradigms.
In addition to the main conference's technical program, one-day or
half-day workshops will be held.
Information of the workshops are now shown in the conference page.

Topics of interest for the meeting include, but are not limited to:
- MPI implementation issues and improvements towards exascale computing,
such as manycores, GPGPU, and heterogeneous architectures.
- Extensions to and shortcomings of MPI.
- Hybrid and heterogeneous programming with MPI and other interfaces.
- Interaction between message-passing software and hardware, in particular new high performance architectures.
- MPI support for data-intensive parallel applications.
- New MPI-IO mechanisms and I/O stack optimizations.
- Fault tolerance in message-passing implementations and systems.
- Performance evaluation for MPI and MPI based applications.
- Automatic performance tuning of MPI applications and implementations.
- Verification of message passing applications and protocols.
- Applications using message-passing, in particular in Computational Science and Scientific Computing.
- Parallel algorithms in the message-passing paradigm.

IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
- Submission of full papers and poster abstracts: May 02nd, 2014
- Author notification: June 13th, 2014
- Camera Ready papers due: June 30th, 2014
- Conference: September 9th-12th, 2014

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------
Contributors are invited to submit a full paper as a PDF document not
exceeding 6 pages in English. The title page should contain an
abstract of at most 100 words and five specific, topical keywords. The
paper must be formatted according to double-column ACM ICPS
proceedings style. The usage of LaTeX for preparation of the
contribution as well as the submission in camera ready format is
strongly recommended. Style files can be found at
http://www.acm.org/publications/icps-instructions/.

New work that is not yet mature for a full paper are invited for the
poster session. Contributions to the poster session should be
submitted in the form of a two page abstract.

All contributions will be fully peer reviewed by the program
committee. For submission, see
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eurompiasia2014.

SPECIAL ISSUE
-------------
The best papers of the workshop will be considered for inclusion in a
special issue of International Journal of High Performance Computing
Applications (IJHPCA).
