Recent commercial cloud computing offerings have ignited wide spread
imaginations for a variety of computing applications in the cloud.
However, practical usefulness of cloud resources for high performance
computing (HPC) application is still unclear. In addition to security,
there are still serious concerns on deliverable performance and
sustainable reliability.

Elastic HPC computing resources are now available for hands-on
experiences investigating the potentials of cloud computing for
computation intensive applications.  This workshop focuses on the
sustainability investigation using cloud resources for computation
intensive applications. We welcome contributions in the following
areas:

a)	Investigative results on deliverable cloud performance for
computation intensive applications using OpenMPI, OpenMP, mathematical
libraries and GPU toolkits.
b)	Investigative results on deliverable cloud performances for
computation intensive applications using alternative HPC paradigms.
c)	Performance modeling, cloud overhead studies and comparisons.
d)	Failure modeling and failure handling experiences. We are
particularly interested in experiences using Check-point-restart (CPR)
tools in large scale HPC applications.
e)	Fault tolerant HPC using cloud computing resources.
f)	HPC security considerations using cloud resources.
g)	HPC performance studies using cloud resources.
h)	HPC economic models using cloud resources.
i)	Processor and communication resource virtualization experiences.
j)	Private cloud implementation experiences.
k)	Innovative cloud pricing models.

Each submission should be at least six (6) but not exceed eight (8)
pages including title, authors, tables, figures and references. The
font size should be no smaller than 11 point. Submission of a paper
represents a commitment that, should the paper were accepted, at least
one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present
the work.
