12 Jan '24

**CALL FOR PAPERS** The 25th IEEE International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Scientific and Engineering Computing (PDSEC-2024) (http://www.ieee- <http://www.ieee-/> tcsc.org/2024/pdsec/ <http://tcsc.org/2024/pdsec/>) will be held on May 31, 2024 in San Francisco, California, USA, in conjunction with IPDPS 2024. Deadline: PDSEC-2024 deadline: 02 Feb 2024 (AoE) Scope and Interests: The technological trends in HPC system evolution indicates an increasing burden placed on application developers due to the management of the unprecedented complexity levels of hardware and its associated performance characteristics. Many existing scientific applications codes are unlikely to perform well on future systems without major modifications or even complete rewrites. In the future, it will be necessary to utilize, in concert, many characteristics such as multiple levels of parallelism, many lightweight cores, complex memory hierarchies, novel I/O technology, power capping, system-wide temporal/spatial performance heterogeneity and reliability concerns. The parallel and distributed computing (PDC) community has developed new programming models, algorithms, libraries and tools to meet these challenges in order to accommodate productive code development and effective system use. However, the scientific application community still needs to identify the benefit through practical evaluations. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on methodologies and experiences used in scientific and engineering applications and algorithms to achieve sustainable code development for better productivity, application performance and reliability. In particular, we will focus on the following topics in parallel and distributed scientific and engineering applications, and not limited to: - Big scientific data - Performance modeling and simulation for the execution of scalable scientific applications on new heterogeneous architectures - Graph analytics with their (scientific) applications - Code modernization methodologies and experiences for adapting the changes in future computing systems - Languages for scientific computing on hybrid systems (e.g. Python, MPI+X where X is OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA etc.) - Tools and techniques for improving the performance, reliability and resilience of scientific applications - Use cases of enterprise distributed computing technology (such as MapReduce, Data Analytics and Machine-learning tools) in scientific and engineering applications - Scalable parallel and distributed algorithms supporting science and engineering applications - Performance portability across heterogeneous architecture Important Dates: Paper submission due . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Seventh International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (SNTA 2024)
by Massimo Cafaro 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

The Seventh International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (SNTA 2024) Pisa, Italy, June 3 - 4, 2024 in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2024 https://sntaworkshop.github.io/2024/ Submission link https://snta24.hotcrp.com/paper/new Submission deadline March 1, 2024 The tasks of systems and network telemetry are vital for effective operations and management of HPC and distributed computing systems by offering comprehensive measurement and analysis capabilities to provide visibility into what is occurring at any time. The tasks will be significantly complicated with the greater complexity of computing systems, increasing network speed, and the newly introduced mobile and IoT devices. Such changes will render the existing telemetry and analysis techniques outdated, and more scalable techniques may be in place for data-driven and deeper data analysis. In addition to the quantitative and qualitative challenges, data pressure in systems and networks also comes from various sources such as sensors, computing systems, networking and security devices, and other emerging computing elements speaking with different syntax and semantics, which makes organizing and incorporating the generated data difficult for extensive analysis. This workshop aims at bridging the systems and network measurement and the latest advances in artificial intelligence and data science technologies to advance the performance and reliability of HPC and distributed systems. New analysis techniques are needed in the modern world from the diverse angles of systems/network performance, availability, and security. For example, real-time streaming analytics algorithms and methods need to be explored for estimating network performance and summarizing the traffic variables to capture the network activities due to the network bandwidth increase. Multivariate analysis of telemetric variables may provide an intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and network dynamics. New logging techniques are also needed with the latest developments in storage and archival technologies. In addition, many applications in this area may need to address the application-specific requirements and challenges. This workshop intends to share visions of investigating new approaches and methods at the intersection of data sciences and HPC/distributed computing systems. Topics of Interest (but not limited to) • Systems and network measurement, analysis, and summarization • Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing • Scalable distributed and federated machine learning • Performance modeling, analysis, and optimization • Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization • Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications • Smart instruments, edge/fog-systems, and IoTs • Wireless, sensor, 5G/6G networks measurement and analysis • Software/Knowledge-Defined-* technologies • Advances in network and storage technologies • Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems • Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis Submission Guidelines All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Authors are invited to submit either a full (max 8 pages) paper or a short/work-in-progress (max 5 pages) paper. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library.
