15 Jun '23

[feel free to forward to possible interested colleagues, apologies for cross-posting] Dear all, the International Workshop on “Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing” (VHPC), just recently completed on May in co-location with the ISC High Performance 2023 conference in Hamburg, has come to its *18th successful edition*. Therefore, we're glad to celebrate the "maturity" of the VHPC series of workshops, by accompanying this year edition with a *Special Issue of the Elsevier Journal of Systems Architecture (JSA), focusing on VHPC-related research topics*: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-systems-architecture/about… (Q1 journal in Scimago SJR/CiteScore rankings) Papers for the JSA Special Issue on VHPC are due on *September 29th, 2023*. Authors of accepted papers at VHPC 2023 and previous recent editions of the workshop are invited to submit extended versions of their VHPC papers to the JSA Special Issue. These will undergo a new peer-reviewing process, to meet the high standards required for publishing on JSA. Extended papers need to provide significant unpublished novel contents, compared to the already published workshop papers (check the guide for authors for details). The *JSA VHPC Special Issue call for papers is also open to any other submission dealing with topics within the VHPC scope*, e.g., virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection among HPC, Containerization/Virtualization and Cloud/Edge Computing, encompassing aspects related to design/architecture, management & orchestration, performance & fault-tolerance, modeling and configuration/tooling. For more information, submission guidelines, and the submission link, please, refer to the *official page about the JSA Special Issue on VHPC*: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-systems-architecture/about… Kind regards, The JSA VHPC Special Issue Guest Editors.

FGCS Special Issue on Scalable Compute Continuum
by Matteo Nardelli 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '23

(Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP) ============================================== Future Generation Computer Systems Special Issue on Scalable Compute Continuum The full call for papers is available on the official FGCS website: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/future-generation-computer-systems/ab… ============================================== Motivation and Scope ======================= The “Compute Continuum” paradigm promises to manage the heterogeneity and dynamism of widespread computing resources, aiming to simplify the execution of distributed applications improving data locality, performance, availability, adaptability, energy management as well as other non-functional features. This is made possible by overcoming the fragmentation of IoT-edge-cloud resources and their segregation in tiers, enabling applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud. By distributing resources all around, the emerging Compute Continuum paradigm supports the execution of data-intensive applications as close as possible to data sources and end users. Besides consolidated vertical and horizontal scaling patterns, this paradigm also offers more detailed adaptation actions that strictly depend on the specific infrastructure components (e.g., to reduce energy consumption, or to exploit specific hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs). This enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive applications, the reduction of network bandwidth consumption, the improvement of privacy protection, and the development of novel services aimed at improving living, health, safety, and mobility. All of this should be achievable by application developers without having to worry about how and where the developed application components will be executed. Therefore, to unleash the true potential offered by the Compute Continuum, autonomous, proactive, and infrastructure-aware management is desirable, if not mandatory, calling for novel interdisciplinary approaches that exploit optimization theory, control theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods. This special issue aims to investigate and gather research contributions on the emerging Compute Continuum, seeking solutions for running distributed applications while efficiently managing heterogeneous and widespread computing resources. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Scalable architectures and systems for the Compute Continuum; - System software for cloud-edge-IoT orchestration; - Distributed and decentralized management of resources and application deployment in the - Compute Continuum; - Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum; - Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis; - Compute Continuum as a service; - Energy-efficient solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum; - AI in the Compute Continuum; - Scalable applications for Compute Continuum (IoT, microservices, serverless); - Data-intensive and stream processing systems and applications in the Compute Continuum; - Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum; - Prototypes and real-life experiments involving the Compute Continuum; - Benchmarks and experimental platforms for reproducible experiments in the Compute Continuum. Guest Editors ======================= Valeria Cardellini, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy. Patrizio Dazzi, University of Pisa, Italy. Gabriele Mencagli, University of Pisa, Italy. Matteo Nardelli, Bank of Italy, Italy. Massimo Torquati, University of Pisa, Italy. Important Dates ======================= Submission portal opens: May 1, 2023 Deadline for paper submission: November 3, 2023 Latest acceptance deadline for all papers: March 8, 2024 Manuscript Submission Instructions ======================= The FGCS’s submission system ( https://www.editorialmanager.com/FGCS/default.aspx) will be open for submissions to our Special Issue from May 1, 2023. When submitting your manuscript please select the article type VSI: SI_SCC_ScalCompContinuum. All submissions deemed suitable by the editors to be sent for peer review will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Once your manuscript is accepted, it will go into production to be published in the special issue. Looking forward to receiving your excellent submissions soon.

CALL FOR PAPERS) PAW-ATM: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X
by Morris, Karla NMN 24 May '23

24 May '23

Call for Papers PAW-ATM 2023: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/ Held in conjunction with SC23, Denver, CO Submissions deadline: July 24, 2023 Notification to authors: August 31, 2023 Workshop date: November 13, 2023 Summary As supercomputers become more and more powerful, the number and diversity of applications that can be tackled with these machines grows. Unfortunately, the architectural complexity of these supercomputers grows as well, with heterogeneous processors, multiple levels of memory hierarchy, and many ways to move data and synchronize between processors. The MPI+X programming model, use of which is considered by many to be standard practice, demands that a programmer be expert in both the application domain and the low-level details of the architecture(s) on which that application will be deployed, and the availability of such superhuman programmers is a critical bottleneck. Things become more complicated when evolution and change in the underlying architecture translates into significant re-engineering of the MPI+X code to maintain performance. Numerous alternatives to the MPI+X model exist, and by raising the level of abstraction on the application domain and/or the target architecture, they offer the ability for "mere mortal" programmers to take advantage of the supercomputing resources that are available to advance science and tackle urgent real-world problems. However, compared to the MPI+X approach, these alternatives generally lack two things. First, they aren't as well known as MPI+X and a domain scientist may simply not be aware of models that are a good fit to their domain. Second, they are less mature than MPI+X and likely have more functionality or performance "potholes" that need only be identified to be addressed. PAW-ATM is a forum for discussing HPC applications written in alternatives to MPI+X. Its goal is to bring together application experts and proponents of high-level languages to present concrete example uses of such alternatives, describing their benefits and challenges. Scope and Aims The PAW-ATM workshop is designed to be a forum for discussion of supercomputing-scale parallel applications and their implementation in programming models outside of the dominant MPI+X paradigm. Papers and talks will explore the benefits (or perhaps drawbacks) of implementing specific applications with alternatives to MPI+X, whether those benefits are in performance, scalability, productivity, or some other metric important to that application domain. Presenters are encouraged to generalize the experience with their application to other domains in science and engineering and to bring up specific areas of improvement for the model(s) used in the implementation. In doing so, our hope is to create a setting in which application authors, language designers, and architects can present and discuss the state of the art in alternative scalable programming models, while also wrestling with how to increase their effectiveness and adoption. Beyond well-established HPC scientific simulations, we also encourage submissions exploring artificial intelligence, big data analytics, machine learning, and other emerging application areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel application development using high-level parallel programming languages and frameworks. * Examples that demonstrate performance, compiler optimization, error checking, and reduced software complexity. * Applications from artificial intelligence, data analytics, bioinformatics, and other novel areas. * Performance evaluation of applications developed using alternatives to MPI+X and comparisons to standard programming models. * Novel algorithms enabled by high-level parallel abstractions. * Experience with the use of new compilers and runtime environments. * Libraries using or supporting alternatives to MPI+X. * Benefits of hardware abstraction and data locality on algorithm implementation. Papers that include description of applications that demonstrate the use of alternative programming models will be given higher priority. Submissions Submissions are solicited in 2 categories: 1. Full-length papers presenting novel research results: Full-length papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers must describe original work that has not appeared in, nor is under consideration for, another conference or journal. Papers shall be eight (8) pages minimum and not exceed ten (10) pages including text, appendices, and figures, but excluding bibliography and acknowledgments. Submissions shall not exceed twelve (12) pages total under any circumstance. 1. Extended abstracts summarizing preliminary/published results: Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and will not be included in the published proceedings; they are intended to propose timely communications of novel work that will be formally submitted elsewhere at a later stage, and/or of already published work that would be of interest to the PAW-ATM audience in terms of topic and timeliness. Extended abstracts shall not exceed four (4) pages. See https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/ for further details.

Besides consolidated vertical and horizontal scaling patterns, this paradigm also offers more detailed adaptation actions that strictly depend on the specific infrastructure components (e.g., to reduce energy consumption, or to exploit specific hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs). This enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive applications, the reduction of network bandwidth consumption, the improvement of privacy protection, and the development of novel services aimed at improving living, health, safety, and mobility.

[hpc-announce] [CfP] 1st ASMECC workshop on Autonomic and Self-* Management for the Edge-Cloud Continuum (ASMECC 2023) - co-located with ACSOS'23
by Gamblin, Todd 21 Apr '23

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. If you'd like to opt out of these announcements, information on how to unsubscribe is available at the bottom of this email.] # 1st ASMECC Workshop on Autonomic and Self-* Management for the Edge-Cloud Continuum (ASMECC 2023) The 1st ASMECC Workshop on Autonomic and Self-* Management for the Edge-Cloud Continuum (ASMECC 2023) is co-located with the 4th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Self-Organizing Systems (ACSOS 2023) that will take place in Toronto, Canada on September 25-29, 2023. ## Important Dates * Abstract deadline: July 1st, 2023 (soft) * Submission deadline: July 10th, 2023 * Notification: July 31st, 2023 * Camera-ready submission: August 5th, 2023 * Workshop date: September 25-29, 2023 (TBD) All times are intended in Anywhere on Earth (AoE) timezone. ## Scope and Topics Edge-cloud computing continuum paradigms (e.g. edge, fog, mist computing) enable distributed and pervasive computing and networking to support a variety of novel ICT-based applications and services. They represent a deployment target and a management plane for the software elements (components, microservices, functions) making up modern distributed applications. The heterogeneity, pervasiveness, dynamism, and interplay with applications, that characterise the cloud-edge continuum provide significant opportunities and challenges, in terms of operational flexibility and efficiency. A major challenge lies in supporting the autonomic management of applications while respecting and opportunistically optimising against the set of constraints, requirements, and preferences indicated by applications, users, owners, and providers. Edge-cloud continua have to become intelligent, embedding cognitive-like capabilities for monitoring, reasoning, planning, and acting. A number of specific issues arise, requiring novel ideas and techniques to be developed. For instance, how can MAPE-K architectures be adapted to work on the edge-cloud continuum? How may learning be exploited to refine dynamic deployment policies or anticipate changes? How can the learned models be explained? What programming models can be used to adequately express application logic independently of its deployment across the continuum? What formal specification languages can support architectural descriptions while enabling analysis of properties of interest? How can the infrastructure self-organise into resilient structures supporting connectivity and distributed task allocation? How to promote sustainability and energy/resource-efficiency across the edge-cloud continuum? These are just a few research questions that may be investigated. But the investigation itself requires tools, simulators, and benchmarks to conduct experiments in controlled environments without incurring in the costs of running experiments in real-world settings. This workshop solicits papers that investigate on the use of autonomic/self-* techniques to understand, design, and develop solutions on/for the edge-fog-cloud continuum. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Algorithms for self-adaptive/self-organising management of applications across the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Devops solutions for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Languages for the specification of deployments, applications, or management policies - AI techniques for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - ML techniques for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Mathematical methods supporting modelling and algorithmic solutions for the edge-fog-cloud and its management issues - Soft computing techniques for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Self-* techniques for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Theories and models at the basis of applications and platforms on the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Tools or simulators for the edge-fog-cloud continuum - Edge-cloud computing for the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems - Edge-cloud computing for swarm systems ## Submission instructions Originality. Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not concurrently submitted for publication elsewhere. Kinds of submissions. Submitted papers should provide original research contributions, and must not exceed 6 pages (including references; up to two additional pages may be purchased for CR). The workshop welcomes different kinds of research work: theoretical, experimental, review, tool, application. Format. All paper submissions should follow the formatting indications of the main conference, i.e., IEEE 8.5” x 11” Two-Column Format (IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings). E-submission site: <https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acsos202… > NOTE: upon submission, you have to select the track “Workshop on Autonomic and Self-* Management for the Edge-Cloud Continuum”. ## Review process Reviews. Papers will be peer reviewed for originality, relevance to themes, significance, presentation, soundness, and overall quality – emphasising breadth and relevance to the topics of the workshop. All papers will be reviewed by a TPC with a minimum of 3 reviews per paper. Reviews will be single-blind. ## Post-acceptance instructions Registration and presentation. At least one of the authors of every accepted paper must register and present the paper at the workshop. Publication and indexing. All accepted and presented papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and indexing databases like Elsevier, IET, and Scopus. ## Workshop Chairs - Roberto Casadei (Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, Italy) - Lukas Esterle (Aarhus University, Denmark) - Stefano Forti (University of Pisa, Italy) For any inquiry, please contact us at <asmecc23.workshop(a)easychair.org>. ******************************************************************************** The hpc-announce mailing list has been setup to have a common mailing list to share information with respect to upcoming HPC related events. You are included in this mailing list based on your participation or interest in a previous HPC conference or other event. The purpose for providing a single mailing list is to allow participants to easily identify such emails, and handle them appropriately. Some options include: 1. If you feel that the number of such emails is too many, filter them to less-frequently-read folders in your email client. 2. Change your subscription to a digest option (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-a… ) which will consolidate emails sent that week into a single summary email. If you do not remember your password (which is needed to change these options), you can reset it using the "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" button at the bottom of the page. 3. Finally, if you do not wish to receive any emails from hpc-announce, you can unsubscribe from the mailing list (https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-a… ). Once unsubscribed, we guarantee that you will not be added back in through participation in a different HPC related conference or event. You will need to send an email to hpc-announce-owner(a)mcs.anl.gov to be added back on.

(Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP) ============================================== Future Generation Computer Systems Special Issue on Scalable Compute Continuum The full call for papers is available on the official FGCS website: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/future-generation-computer-systems/ab… ============================================== Motivation and Scope ======================= The “Compute Continuum” paradigm promises to manage the heterogeneity and dynamism of widespread computing resources, aiming to simplify the execution of distributed applications improving data locality, performance, availability, adaptability, energy management as well as other non-functional features. This is made possible by overcoming the fragmentation of IoT-edge-cloud resources and their segregation in tiers, enabling applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud. By distributing resources all around, the emerging Compute Continuum paradigm supports the execution of data-intensive applications as close as possible to data sources and end users. Besides consolidated vertical and horizontal scaling patterns, this paradigm also offers more detailed adaptation actions that strictly depend on the specific infrastructure components (e.g., to reduce energy consumption, or to exploit specific hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs). This enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive applications, the reduction of network bandwidth consumption, the improvement of privacy protection, and the development of novel services aimed at improving living, health, safety, and mobility. All of this should be achievable by application developers without having to worry about how and where the developed application components will be executed. Therefore, to unleash the true potential offered by the Compute Continuum, autonomous, proactive, and infrastructure-aware management is desirable, if not mandatory, calling for novel interdisciplinary approaches that exploit optimization theory, control theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods. This special issue aims to investigate and gather research contributions on the emerging Compute Continuum, seeking solutions for running distributed applications while efficiently managing heterogeneous and widespread computing resources. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Scalable architectures and systems for the Compute Continuum; - System software for cloud-edge-IoT orchestration; - Distributed and decentralized management of resources and application deployment in the - Compute Continuum; - Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum; - Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis; - Compute Continuum as a service; - Energy-efficient solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum; - AI in the Compute Continuum; - Scalable applications for Compute Continuum (IoT, microservices, serverless); - Data-intensive and stream processing systems and applications in the Compute Continuum; - Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum; - Prototypes and real-life experiments involving the Compute Continuum; - Benchmarks and experimental platforms for reproducible experiments in the Compute Continuum.

**************************************************************** Call for Papers [cid:image001.png@01D96560.745F9FF0] PAW-ATM 2023: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X Held in conjunction with SC23, Denver, CO https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/ Submissions deadline: July 24, 2023 Notification to authors: August 31, 2023 Workshop date: November 12-17, 2023 **************************************************************** SUMMARY As supercomputers become more and more powerful, the number and diversity of applications that can be tackled with these machines grows. Unfortunately, the architectural complexity of these supercomputers grows as well, with heterogeneous processors, multiple levels of memory hierarchy, and many ways to move data and synchronize between processors. The MPI+X programming model, use of which is considered by many to be standard practice, demands that a programmer be expert in both the application domain and the low-level details of the architecture(s) on which that application will be deployed, and the availability of such superhuman programmers is a critical bottleneck. Things become more complicated when evolution and change in the underlying architecture translates into significant re-engineering of the MPI+X code to maintain performance. Numerous alternatives to the MPI+X model exist, and by raising the level of abstraction on the application domain and/or the target architecture, they offer the ability for "mere mortal" programmers to take advantage of the supercomputing resources that are available to advance science and tackle urgent real-world problems. However, compared to the MPI+X approach, these alternatives generally lack two things. First, they aren't as well known as MPI+X and a domain scientist may simply not be aware of models that are a good fit to their domain. Second, they are less mature than MPI+X and likely have more functionality or performance "potholes" that need only be identified to be addressed. PAW-ATM is a forum for discussing HPC applications written in alternatives to MPI+X. Its goal is to bring together application experts and proponents of high-level languages to present concrete example uses of such alternatives, describing their benefits and challenges. SCOPE AND AIMS The PAW-ATM workshop is designed to be a forum for discussion of supercomputing-scale parallel applications and their implementation in programming models outside of the dominant MPI+X paradigm. Papers and talks will explore the benefits (or perhaps drawbacks) of implementing specific applications with alternatives to MPI+X, whether those benefits are in performance, scalability, productivity, or some other metric important to that application domain. Presenters are encouraged to generalize the experience with their application to other domains in science and engineering and to bring up specific areas of improvement for the model(s) used in the implementation. In doing so, our hope is to create a setting in which application authors, language designers, and architects can present and discuss the state of the art in alternative scalable programming models, while also wrestling with how to increase their effectiveness and adoption. Beyond well-established HPC scientific simulations, we also encourage submissions exploring artificial intelligence, big data analytics, machine learning, and other emerging application areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel application development using high-level parallel programming languages and frameworks. * Examples that demonstrate performance, compiler optimization, error checking, and reduced software complexity. * Applications from artificial intelligence, data analytics, bioinformatics, and other novel areas. * Performance evaluation of applications developed using alternatives to MPI+X and comparisons to standard programming models. * Novel algorithms enabled by high-level parallel abstractions. * Experience with the use of new compilers and runtime environments. * Libraries using or supporting alternatives to MPI+X. * Benefits of hardware abstraction and data locality on algorithm implementation. Papers that include description of applications that demonstrate the use of alternative programming models will be given higher priority. SUBMISSIONS Submissions are solicited in 2 categories: 1) Full-length papers presenting novel research results: Full-length papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers must describe original work that has not appeared in, nor is under consideration for, another conference or journal. Papers shall be eight (8) pages minimum and not exceed ten (10) pages including text, appendices, and figures, but excluding bibliography and acknowledgments. 2) Extended abstracts summarizing preliminary/published results: Extended abstracts will be evaluated separately and will not be included in the published proceedings; they are intended to propose timely communications of novel work that will be formally submitted elsewhere at a later stage, and/or of already published work that would be of interest to the PAW-ATM audience in terms of topic and timeliness. Extended abstracts shall not exceed four (4) pages. When deciding between manuscript submissions with similar merit, submissions whose focus relates more directly to the key themes of the workshop (application studies, computing at scale, high-level alternatives to MPI+X) will be given priority over those that don't. Submissions shall be submitted through Linklings: https://submissions.supercomputing.org Submissions must use 10pt font in the IEEE format: https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html PAW-ATM follows the reproducibility initiative of SC23.

Euro 0 (zero) per researcher without family obligations; 3.2. Euro 6,000.00 (six thousand/00) for researchers with family obligations (married or with a relationship recognised by Italian law or that of the country of origin or with dependent children). Scientific Supervisor: Prof. Massimo Cafaro Research topic: Large scale data management and integration This is a 30 months “Marie Curie ETN Early Stage Researcher position” on the following topic. The sheer quantum of data being created and collected across jurisdictions requires a carefully planned and proactive approach to data management. The need for fusion and integration of multiple data sources characterized by fragmented data ownership is driving innovative approaches to large scale distributed data management and integration to avoid inconsistent and inaccurate data. The aim is to investigate, design and implement a fully decentralized solution to provide efficient management of dynamically updated information and support for distributed queries. One or more domain specific use cases shall be identified within the context of the project, considering both the current and future needs of some of the involved partners. These nicely fit into the research plan, owing to the need of surveying the user’s requirements to begin with; simultaneously, the uses cases can also be thought of as sources of advanced data management challenges.

WSCC 2023: Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum (co-located with EuroPar 2023)
by Matteo Nardelli 28 Mar '23

28 Mar '23

(Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP) ************************************************************************** WSCC 2023: Euro-Par 2023 International Workshop International Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum Date: 28 August - September 2023 Location: Limassol, Cyprus Workshop web page: https://wscc2023.di.unipi.it/ Euro-Par web page: https://2023.euro-par.org/ ************************************************************************** * Call for Papers The “Compute Continuum” paradigm promises to manage the heterogeneity and dynamism of widespread computing resources, aiming to simplify the execution of distributed applications improving data locality, performance, availability, adaptability, energy management as well as other non-functional features. This is made possible by overcoming resource fragmentation and segregation in tiers, enabling applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud. Besides consolidated vertical and horizontal scaling patterns, this paradigm also offers more detailed adaptation actions that strictly depend on the specific infrastructure components (e.g., to reduce energy consumption, or to exploit specific hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs). This enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive applications, the reduction of network bandwidth consumption, the improvement of privacy protection, and the development of novel services aimed at improving living, health, safety, and mobility. All of this should be achievable by application developers without having to worry about how and where the developed components will be executed. Therefore, to unleash the true potential offered by the Compute Continuum, proactive, autonomous, and infrastructure-aware management is desirable, if not mandatory, calling for novel interdisciplinary approaches that exploit optimization theory, control theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods. In this landscape, the workshop is willing to attract contributions in the area of distributed systems with particular emphasis on support for geographically distributed platforms and autonomic features to deal with variable workloads and environmental events, and take the best of heterogeneous and distributed infrastructures. A partial list of interesting topics of this workshop is the following: - Scalable architectures and systems for Compute Continuum - System software for cloud-edge-IoT orchestration - Distributed and decentralized management of resources and application deployment in the Compute Continuum - Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum - Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis - Compute Continuum as a service - Energy-efficient solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum - AI in the Compute Continuum - Scalable applications for Compute Continuum (IoT, microservices, serverless) - Data-intensive and stream processing systems and applications in the Compute Continuum - Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum - Prototypes and real-life experiments involving Compute Continuum - Benchmarks and experimental platforms for reproducible experiments in the Compute Continuum * Submission Instructions The papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines. They should be between a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 12 pages. * Special Issue Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the Special Issue of the Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems on “Scalable Compute Continuum”.

[DEADLINE APPROACHING] ACM SNTA’23 - The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics
by Massimo Cafaro 24 Mar '23

24 Mar '23

The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (ACM SNTA’23) in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2023 (http://www.hpdc.org/2023/) Orlando, Florida, United States, June 16 - 23, 2023 Scope: The tasks of systems and network telemetry are a key element for effective operations and management of HPC and distributed computing systems, by offering comprehensive measurement and analysis capabilities to provide the 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 be able to provide an intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and network dynamics. New logging techniques are also needed in the future with the latest development in the 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. Topic of interest (but not limited to): - Systems and network measurement, analysis, and summarization - Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing - Distributed and federated machine learning - Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization - 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 - Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications - Performance modeling, analysis, and engineering - Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems - Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis Important dates: Submission deadline: March 31, 2023 Author notification: April 14, 2023 Camera-ready deadline: May 2, 2023 Paper submission: 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 4 pages) paper. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library.

Special Issue on Industrial IoT networks to support future Cloud-to-Things applications – Ad Hoc Networks, Elsevier –
by Francesca Righetti 23 Mar '23

23 Mar '23

Special Issue on Industrial IoT networks to support future Cloud-to-Things applications – Ad Hoc Networks, Elsevier – The Cloud-to-Things (C2T) continuum is a novel paradigm that extends the cloud-computing centralized architecture by introducing intermediate computing layers to host industrial applications and services with stringent requirements in terms of latency and reliability in the communication with IoT devices and sensors. Recent network architectures that support the integration of IoT devices into existing networks, like 6TiSCH or 5G/6G, include by design support for strict Quality of Service (QoS) communication requirements to ensure timed and reliable data delivery between applications and IoT devices. The deployment and management of the C2T multi-tier computing infrastructure connected with industrial IoT via heterogeneous communication technologies on a large-scale will require innovative approaches to guarantee QoS application requirements by enabling the convergence between computing and networking. Current networking management approaches are not adequate to support this convergence, thus leading to research open issues in multiple areas, including, for instance, IoT networks performance optimization, efficient resource management, scalable device management, novel compute-network joint management strategies, etc. In this special issue, we look for original and high-quality research works in these areas to enable the convergence between networking and computing in the C2T continuum for industrial applications. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: *Network resource allocation and management in Industrial IoT networks *Integration between cloud-edge infrastructure and 5G/6G networks for the Industrial IoT *Network continuity to support efficient offloading to optimize network performance *Network strict-QoS for Industrial applications in the C2T continuum *Joint network configuration and workload distribution in the C2T continuum *Security issues and solutions for industrial systems in the C2T continuum *Ad-Hoc Networks for industrial applications to support mobility *Vehicular networks for cooperative autonomous vehicles *Self-organizing networks in the C2T continuum *Scalable management solutions in the C2T continuum *Novel network paradigms to support the C2T continuum with QoS guarantees Guest editors: Jiannong Cao, Hong Kong Polytechnic University,jiannong.cao(a)polyu.edu.hk Sajal K.

The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (ACM SNTA’23)
by Massimo Cafaro 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Call for Papers The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (ACM SNTA’23) in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2023 (http://www.hpdc.org/2023/) Orlando, Florida, United States, June 16 - 23, 2023 Scope: The tasks of systems and network telemetry are a key element for effective operations and management of HPC and distributed computing systems, by offering comprehensive measurement and analysis capabilities to provide the 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 be able to provide an intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and network dynamics. New logging techniques are also needed in the future with the latest development in the 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. Topic of interest (but not limited to): - Systems and network measurement, analysis, and summarization - Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing - Distributed and federated machine learning - Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization - 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 - Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications - Performance modeling, analysis, and engineering - Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems - Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis Important dates: Submission deadline: March 31, 2023 Author notification: April 14, 2023 Camera-ready deadline: May 2, 2023 Paper submission: 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 4 pages) paper. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library.

Therefore, highly motivated students who know some of the above subjects listed above are encouraged to apply. Prospective candidates must not have resided or carried out the main activity of study/work in Italy for more than 12 months during the 3 years preceding the date of the beginning of the contract. Additional requirements are listed in the official public call. The successful candidate will work in close cooperation with prof. Massimo Cafaro and the members of the High Performance Computing Laboratory at the University of Salento. Two secondments of four months each at partners institutions are scheduled, along with the participation in schools and workshops organised within the framework of the InnoCyPES project. Moreover, the candidate will be given ample opportunity to publish his/her scientific results and present them at international conferences. The research grant will cover the ESR position for 30 months. Additional funding may be obtained by project’s partners covering a further six months to be spent in their laboratories. Details Position: research grant at the Department of Engineering for Innovation, University of Salento, Lecce, Italy Duration: 30 months Deadline for application: April 6, 2023 Remuneration: The research grant will last 30 (thirty) months.

Living allowance: Euro 40,966.56 (forty thousand nine hundred and sixty-six/56); 2. Mobility allowance: Euro 7.200,00 (seven thousand two hundred/00); 3. Family allowance: 3.1. Euro 0 (zero) per researcher without family obligations; 3.2. Euro 6,000.00 (six thousand/00) for researchers with family obligations (married or with a relationship recognised by Italian law or that of the country of origin or with dependent children). Scientific Supervisor: Prof. Massimo Cafaro Research topic: Large scale data management and integration This is a 30 months “Marie Curie ETN Early Stage Researcher position” on the following topic. The sheer quantum of data being created and collected across jurisdictions requires a carefully planned and proactive approach to data management. The need for fusion and integration of multiple data sources characterized by fragmented data ownership is driving innovative approaches to large scale distributed data management and integration to avoid inconsistent and inaccurate data. The aim is to investigate, design and implement a fully decentralized solution to provide efficient management of dynamically updated information and support for distributed queries. One or more domain specific use cases shall be identified within the context of the project, considering both the current and future needs of some of the involved partners. These nicely fit into the research plan, owing to the need of surveying the user’s requirements to begin with; simultaneously, the uses cases can also be thought of as sources of advanced data management challenges.

WSCC 2023: Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum (co-located with EuroPar 2023)
by Matteo Nardelli 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

(Our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP) ************************************************************************** WSCC 2023: Euro-Par 2023 International Workshop International Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum Date: 28 August - September 2023 Location: Limassol, Cyprus Workshop web page: https://wscc2023.di.unipi.it/ Euro-Par web page: https://2023.euro-par.org/ ************************************************************************** * Call for Papers The “Compute Continuum” paradigm promises to manage the heterogeneity and dynamism of widespread computing resources, aiming to simplify the execution of distributed applications improving data locality, performance, availability, adaptability, energy management as well as other non-functional features. This is made possible by overcoming resource fragmentation and segregation in tiers, enabling applications to be seamlessly executed and relocated along a continuum of resources spanning from the edge to the cloud. Besides consolidated vertical and horizontal scaling patterns, this paradigm also offers more detailed adaptation actions that strictly depend on the specific infrastructure components (e.g., to reduce energy consumption, or to exploit specific hardware such as GPUs and FPGAs). This enables the enhancement of latency-sensitive applications, the reduction of network bandwidth consumption, the improvement of privacy protection, and the development of novel services aimed at improving living, health, safety, and mobility. All of this should be achievable by application developers without having to worry about how and where the developed components will be executed. Therefore, to unleash the true potential offered by the Compute Continuum, proactive, autonomous, and infrastructure-aware management is desirable, if not mandatory, calling for novel interdisciplinary approaches that exploit optimization theory, control theory, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods. In this landscape, the workshop is willing to attract contributions in the area of distributed systems with particular emphasis on support for geographically distributed platforms and autonomic features to deal with variable workloads and environmental events, and take the best of heterogeneous and distributed infrastructures. A partial list of interesting topics of this workshop is the following: - Scalable architectures and systems for Compute Continuum - System software for cloud-edge-IoT orchestration - Distributed and decentralized management of resources and application deployment in the Compute Continuum - Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum - Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis - Compute Continuum as a service - Energy-efficient solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum - AI in the Compute Continuum - Scalable applications for Compute Continuum (IoT, microservices, serverless) - Data-intensive and stream processing systems and applications in the Compute Continuum - Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum - Prototypes and real-life experiments involving Compute Continuum - Benchmarks and experimental platforms for reproducible experiments in the Compute Continuum * Submission Instructions The papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines.

VHPC'23 - 18th Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing Workshop - Call for Papers
by Tommaso Cucinotta 08 Mar '23

08 Mar '23

[apologies for cross-postings, title/abstract due on Sunday, paper due on 19th] The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC) <https://vhpc.org/> is an international forum bringing together researchers and industrial practitioners facing the challenges posed by virtualization in HPC/Cloud scenarios, in order to foster discussion, collaboration, mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, enabling research to ultimately provide novel solutions for virtualized computing systems of tomorrow. The 18th edition of VHPC will be held on May 25th, 2023, jointly with the ISC High-Performance 2023 <https://www.isc-hpc.com/> conference and exhibition in Hamburg (Germany), and it welcomes contributions on the research topics detailed below. Paper submissions are due on March 19th. Accepted papers will be published on Springer LNCS series, and indexed by Scopus, among others. *Keynote Talk* We're happy to announce that VHPC'23 will feature an excellent keynote talk: * “*What is RCU and How Does it Help the Linux Kernel Scale?* <https://vhpc.github.io/keynote1/>", *Paul E. McKenney*, Software Engineer at Meta *Workshop Overview* Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to seamlessly manage complex infrastructures, to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O virtualization, in turn, allows physical network interfaces to exchange traffic with multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays independently from the underlying physical topology, is another fundamental enabling technology for Cloud/HPC infrastructures. Last, storage virtualization needs to evolve to support increasingly demanding requirements in terms of performance and reliability for the managed application data. *Topics of Interest* The VHPC program committee solicits original, high-quality submissions related to virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection of HPC, containers-virtualization and cloud computing, focusing on the following major topics: * HPC on Containers and VMs; * Containerized applications with OS-level virtualization; * Lightweight applications with Unikernels; * HPC-as-a-Service. Each of these major topics encompasses design/architecture, management, performance management, modeling and configuration/tooling, leading to the following detailed, but non-necessarily exhaustive, list of topics of interest: Design / Architecture: * Containers and OS-level virtualization (LXC, Docker, rkt, Singularity, Shifter, i.a.) * Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.) * Hypervisor extensions to mitigate side-channel attacks([micro-]architectural timing attacks, privilege escalation) * VM & Container trust and security models * Multi-environment coupling, system software supporting in-situ analysis with HPC simulation * Cloud reliability, fault-tolerance and high-availability * Cloud-based quantum compute services * Energy-efficient and power-aware virtualization * Containers inside VMs with hypervisor isolation * Virtualization support for emerging memory and storage technologies * Lightweight/specialized operating systems in conjunction with virtual machines * Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.) * Unikernels and use cases for virtualized HPC environments * Formal definition and verification of hypervisors and virtualization system properties * ARM-based hypervisors, ARM virtualization extensions Management: * Container and VM management for HPC and cloud environments * HPC services integration, services to support HPC * Service and on-demand scheduling & resource management * Dedicated workload management with VMs or containers * Workflow coupling with VMs and containers * Unikernels and lightweight VM application management * Environments and tools for operating containerized environments (batch, orchestration) * Models for non-HPC workload provisioning on HPC resources Performance Measurements and Modeling: * Performance improvements for, or driven by, unikernels * Optimizations of virtual machine monitor platforms and hypervisors * Scalability analysis of VMs and/or containers at large scale * Performance measurement, modeling and monitoring of virtualized/cloud workloads * Virtualization in supercomputing environments, HPC clusters, HPC in the cloud * Energy-efficient deployment of high-performance, ultra-low latency and real-time workloads in cloud infrastructures * Modeling, control and isolation of end-to-end performance for parallel & distributed cloud/HPC applications Configuration / Tooling: * Tool support for unikernels: configuration/build environments, debuggers, profilers * Job scheduling/control/policy and container placement in virtualized environments * Measuring and controlling "OS/Virtualization noise" * Operating MPI in containers/VMs and Unikernels * GPU virtualization operationalization *Organization* The workshop will be one day in length, composed of 20 min paper presentations, each followed by 10 min discussion sections, plus lightning talks that are limited to 5 minutes.
