Call for Papers
Sixth International Workshop on
Distributed Shared Memory on Clusters
DSM 2006
http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/laurent.lefevre/dsm2006

Organized At
IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid
(CCGrid 2006)
May 16-19, 2006, Singapore

Scope:
------
With high performance clustering solutions, Distributed Shared Memory (DSM)
systems provide easiness of programming a shared space combined with high
performance architecture.

The DSM 2006 workshop organized at the CCGrid 2006 symposium will serve as a
major forum to present and share the latest research results of the work by
international researchers, developers, and users. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

- DSM Systems Implementation on clusters
- DSM on High Peformance Networks
- Memory Models
- Consistencies Models and Protocols
- hardware support
- Compiler Support
- Fault Tolerance
- Applications on DSM systems
- OpenMP Deployment
- DSM Benchmarking
- Performance and Debugging Tools
- DSM on wide area networks
- DSM and Grids

We also encourage authors to present novel ideas, critique of existing work,
and application examplers, which demonstrate how DSM technology could be
effectively deployed. We also welcome practical work which applies DSM in
novel and interesting ways.
