ORGANIZATION

The OpenSHMEM User Group (OUG 2014) is an user meeting dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of the OpenSHMEM API and its tools eco-system. The goal of the meeting is to discuss and present the ongoing user experiences, research, implementations, and tools that use the OpenSHMEM API. A particular emphasis will be given to the ongoing research that can enhance the OpenSHMEM specification to leverage the emerging hardware while addressing the application needs. The event will include three main sessions:
  1. Work-in-Progress (WiP) session which will be a series of talks on current research in OpenSHMEM
  2. Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) session with emphasis on OpenSHMEM applications Benchmarks, verification and validation suite
  3. Discussion session aimed at the ratification of the OpenSHMEM 1.2 specification
In addition to these main sessions, there will be a series of talks from Industry and academia.

Peer-reviewed WiP paper session:

The WiP session will consist of a series of talks on ongoing research or ideas to improve the OpenSHMEM specification. This is a chance to present the ongoing research that is not yet ready for publication and to get feedback on your work from the experts in the field. The work should be original and have never been presented before and has to have a direct tie to OpenSHMEM. We are interested in the research that is novel and interesting, even if it is premature. A particular interest for this session are submissions in the form of outrageous ideas and work-in-progress. Topics of interest for the WiP session include (but are not limited to):
