| TUTORIAL 1 OpenFlow Brandon Heller, Stanford University; Guido Appenzeller, Stanford University; Nick McKeown, Stanford University Abstract & Bios: (Click here to see pdf) TUTORIAL 2 Designing HPC Clusters and Enterprise Datacenters: The InfiniBand and 10GE Way Dhabaleswar Panda, Dr. Pavan Balaji, Argonne National Laboratory and University of Chicago Abstract: http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~panda/hoti08_tut.html KEYNOTE 1 Executive Plenary Address Andrew F. Bach, Senior Vice President NYSE/Euronext Network and Interconnect Requirements for Global Equities Trading at NYSE/Euronext Abstract: There may be no more critical an environment for interconnect and networking than the Electronic and trading floors of the NYSE Euronext markets. Fortunes, life savings, and entire national economies rely on the utter reliability, predictability, and many-sigma performance of our trading networks. At NYSE Euronext we constantly battle the laws of physics to reduce latency, assure uniform delivery of quotations, and handle spectacularly large volumes of traffic of equally spectacular unpredictability. In this talk we discuss our requirements in detail and translate them into performance and feature requirements for the products that serve our industry. KEYNOTE 2 Mendel Rosenblum Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, VMWare Inc; Professor, Computer Science, Stanford University Interactions between Data Center Virtualization and Networking Abstract:Virtualization appears to be the latest buzzword to sweep the computing industry. By running a virtual machine monitor on the servers of an enterprise data center, organizations are finding they can achieve better hardware utilization, better reliability and availability, better power efficiency, and better manageability. In the first part of this talk I will describe the changes that virtualization is bringing to the data center. I will highlight some on the challenges it presents to the enterprise network. Bio:Mendel Rosenblum, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, VMware Inc. Mendel Rosenblum is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, where he leads a group focused on operating systems research. Together with his students, he developed the Hive operating system, the SimOS machine simulator and the Disco virtual machine monitor. In 2002, he received the ACM SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award for his creativity, innovation and vision in operating systems research. He holds a doctorate and master's degree in computer science from the University of California at Berkeley and a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Virginia. KEYNOTE 3 Distinguished Lecture Dr. Eugen Schenfeld, IBM Building practical exa bytes per second networks to interconnect the many core processors of the future Abstract: As VLSI technology advances, by 2020 a single chip could have many processing cores. Connecting thousands of such chips in a system, and using them for general computation is a challenging problem. This talk relates to the communication aspects and needs of such Exascale systems and suggests the use of new programming models that better match the architecture as well as discussing novel non HPC applications that could use such processing power. A proposal for a network centric architecture to support this approach and initial prototype demonstration will also be discussed. Eugen Schenfeld holds a BSc in Computer Engineering and an MSc in Electrical Engineering from the Technion, Israeli Institute of Technology; and a PhD in Computer Science from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem awarded in 1982, 1986 and 1990 respectively. Dr. Schenfeld worked for Tadiran, Israeli Electronics Industries, the Systems Division, for 10 years, in the area of Real-Time, Distributed, Embedded Systems for Communication, Command and Control systems, and was in charge of the projects’ technical reviews (Software and Hardware). He then worked for NEC Research Institute in Princeton, NJ for 7 years as a Research Scientist. For the past 10 years, Dr. Schenfeld has been working as a Research Scientist at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. Dr. Schenfeld has published over 70 papers in journals, and conferences, 2 book chapters, and was the founder and Steering Committee Chair of the IEEE MPPOI (Massive Parallel Processing using Optical Interconnects) conference for 7 years. He has served as guest editor for Applied Optics and Subject Area Editor for the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. Dr. Schenfeld was a member of numerous conference program committees and review panels. His current interests include Stream Processing, Optical Interconnection and Network Architectures. Panel Discussion 1 Wall Street Roundtable Requirements from the Trading Floor: Voices of the Experts Moderator: Dan Pitt Abstract: This panel brings together the technical leaders of the financial industry whose decisions affect the most important equities trading centers on the globe. They will share their requirements for system interconnects in ways that reflect the realities of the trading floor, the legal constraints they face, and the competitive elements of their industry. Their world demands pure performance with no bluffing. If you have any investments, your financial future depends on them. Panelists: Panel Discussion 2 Industry Panel On Meeting Wall Street's Requirements Moderator: "Head" Bubba, Vice President, Credit Suisse Abstract: This panel brings together different aspects of industry to discuss the delicate balance between throughput and latency in an environment of ever increasing amounts of messages/sec where discussions of flow control and pause are not an option without consideration of Service Level Agreements (SLA). This panel will investigate the interconnect requirements for Wall Street along with looking at the current trend of using real time operating systems with interconnects, specialized appliances to handle the amount of messages with low latency interconnects and connecting memory appliances on the fabric. Panel Discussion 3 Industry Forum Leaders: Optical Interconnects Moderator: Prof. Luca Carloni, Columbia University Abstract: The Industry Forum is a special session organized for Hot Interconnects 2008 which includes invited papers from leading industrial researchers focusing on optical interconnects and how they might be employed in next generation computing systems. We have four presentations that will cover current research efforts and product development goals on optical interconnects at IBM, Intel, Hewlett Packard, and Sun Microsystems. |
