All will address topics of relevance in the conference scope, with time for questions and answers. - On Wednesday morning, June 11, a keynote talk by Stefano Zacchiroli, of Télécom Paris, France, on "Building a Safer Open Source Supply Chain with Software Heritage, the Great Library of Source Code". - On Wednesday afternoon, June 11, an invited talk by Tullio Vardanega, from University of Padua, Italy, on "Language Ownership: Key Moments in the Lifetime of Ada". - On Thursday morning, June 12, a keynote talk by Claire Pagetti, of ONERA, France, on "Certification of Machine Learning Based System - Contribution of Formal Verification". *** Conference Core Composition <https://www.ada-europe.org/conference2025/overview.html#title1> The core conference program features six distinct types of technical presentations, with different duration, all followed by various manners of discussion time: journal-track talk (30 minutes), industrial-track talk (20 minutes), work-in-progress-track talk (20 minutes), vendor presentations (20 minutes), keynote (1 hour), invited talk (30 minutes). All papers presented in the journal track, the industrial track and the work-in-progress track have undergone peer review. Presentations are combined into by-theme and not by-track sessions, in order that authors and participants alike enjoy all flavors of the program in a mixed as opposed to segregated combination. The list of accepted papers and presentations, and the detailed schedule, is available on the conference website at <https://www.ada-europe.org/conference2025/overview.html#schedule> Papers and Presentations: - 2 keynotes and 1 invited presentation; - 6 sessions with a mix of presentations on various topics: Secure Distributed Systems, Ada and Modeling, Multi-core Architectures, Embedded Systems, Real-time and Safety, and Applications; - 6 journal-track talks; - 9 work-in-progress reports; - 4 industrial presentations and experience reports; - 2 vendor presentations; - submissions from around the world. *** Tutorials <http://www.ada-europe.org/conference2025/tutorials.html> A full-day tutorial is offered on Tuesday 10th: - "Developing Bare-metal Embedded Software in SPARK Ada for 64-bit ARM Platforms", by J. Germán Rivera, Tesla, USA. A hands-on tutorial. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own RaspberryPI boards, a development laptop, and a USB-to-serial cable. In parallel, four half-day tutorials are scheduled: - "Multiple Double and Multiword Arithmetic", by Jan Verschelde, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA. "Quality up" is often more meaningful than "speedup": instead of using multi-processors to obtain results faster, obtain results that are more accurate. - "Unleash the Power of Ada Generics", by Gautier de Montmollin, Ada-Switzerland, Switzerland. Generics, known elsewhere as templates or macros, form an abstraction that is prosaically a smart version of a text with gaps, which helps to eliminate code duplication. The Ada flavor of generics, available since the first Ada standard, is remarkably powerful. - "Turning your Programming Language into a Modeling Language", by S. Tucker Taft, AdaCore, USA. An introduction to how one could create a productive framework for performing modeling within your favorite programming language. - "Introduction to the ALiRe Package Manager", by Quentin Dauprat, Université de Caen, Normandie, France. The ALiRe project (Ada Library Repository) is a community-oriented package manager for the Ada and SPARK open source ecosystem. Tackles the use of Alire to bootstrap a project with the support of libraries available (and not available) in the community index. *** Satellite Events Three workshops are held on Friday 13th: - 4th ADEPT workshop "AADL by its practitioners". <http://www.ada-europe.org/conference2025/workshop_adept.html> - 10th International Workshop on "Challenges and New Approaches for Dependable and Cyber-Physical System Engineering" (DeCPS 2025). <http://www.ada-europe.org/conference2025/decps.html> - 2nd "Ada Developers Workshop", an informal yet dynamic gathering for developers in the Ada community to meet, share insights, and present their latest projects or project updates; a full "Ada day" with 8 technical presentations on Ada-related topics and 10 authors from 5 countries: Belgium, France, Spain, Switzerland, and USA. <http://www.ada-europe.org/conference2025/workshop_adadev.html> *** Social Program <http://www.ada-europe.org/conference2025/social_program.html> The conference provides several opportunities to socialize: - Each day: coffee breaks and lunches offer ample time for interaction and networking with participants and vendors. - Tuesday evening: Welcome Reception at "Table du Luxembourg".

HPC Containers to AI Workloads: May 25 VHPC'25 Extended Deadline
by Michael Alexander 16 May '25

16 May '25

========================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 20th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '25) held in conjunction with the European Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing Aug 25-29, 2025, Dresden, Germany. (Springer LNCS Proceedings) ========================================================== Paper submission deadline: May 25th, 2025 AoE (extended) Date: August 25, 2025 Workshop URL: vhpc dot org To submit an abstract or paper, please follow the link provided in the Call for Papers (CfP) announcement at the end of this message. Call for Papers This year, we are calling the timely topic of virtualization in support of high-memory LLM training workloads including, but not limited to: - GPU hypervisor memory virtualization: Techniques for virtualizing GPU memory to allow flexible and efficient allocation across multiple workloads, enabling higher utilization of GPU resources - Flat CPU/GPU memory page tables/TLB: Unified virtual memory spaces and page table structures that allow both GPUs to address CPU memory mapped to accelerator global memory space - Storage/filesystem to virtual memory mapped approaches - Distributed memory virtualization - Memory compression and reduction techniques: approaches for compressing model parameters, activations, and gradients to reduce memory requirements during training - Out-of-core training algorithms - Efficient memory allocation and management: Techniques for optimizing memory allocation, reducing fragmentation, and improving memory utilization during training - Memory-efficient data formats and processing: Data formats and processing techniques that minimize memory overhead while maintaining training efficiency - Benchmarking and profiling tools: Tools and methodologies for measuring, analyzing, and optimizing memory usage in LLM training workloads - Case studies and applications: Real-world examples and applications of virtualization techniques in LLM training scenarios The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC) aims to bring together researchers and industrial practitioners facing the challenges posed by virtualization 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. 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 manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications 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 co-existence 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 manyvirtualization 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. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume. 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. Each topic encompasses aspects related to design/architecture, management, performance management, modeling and\ configuration/tooling: Design / Architecture: - Containers and OS-level virtualization (LXC, Docker/Podman, Nitro/Firecracke, Singularity) - Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, NPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.) - GPU hypervisor memory virtualization in support of high-memory LLM training workloads - Hypervisor extensions to mitigate side-channel attacks ([micro-]architectural timing attacks, privilege escalation) - Use of Risc-V related technologies for cloud, virtualized and HPC use-cases - 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 - 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 - Virtualized/Cloudified instances to support Lambda / Function-as-a- Service (FaaS) Paradigms - 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 with an emphasis on AI GPUs/TPUs/NPUs - 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, including the use of cloud functions / FaaS 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 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.

By seamlessly integrating resources across the edge, fog, and cloud, this paradigm enhances data locality, performance, availability, adaptability, energy efficiency, and other non-functional properties. This is made possible by overcoming resource fragmentation and segregation in tiers, allowing 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, the Compute Continuum also introduces fine-grained adaptation actions tailored to specific infrastructure components (e.g., optimizing energy consumption or leveraging specialized hardware such as GPUs, FPGAs, and TPUs). These capabilities unlock significant benefits, including support for latency-sensitive applications, reduction of network bandwidth consumption, improved privacy protection, and enable the development of novel services across domains such as smart cities, healthcare, 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. To fully harness the potential of the Compute Continuum, proactive, autonomous, and infrastructure-aware management is essential. This calls 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 the Compute Continuum - Orchestration, deployment, and management of resources and applications in the Compute Continuum - Programming models, languages and patterns for the Compute Continuum - Compute Continuum performance modeling and analysis - Function-as-a-Service and Backend-as-a-Service in the Compute Continuum - Energy-efficient and carbon-aware solutions for sustainable Compute Continuum - Lightweight virtualization for the Compute Continuum - AI-driven optimization and AI-related workloads in the Compute Continuum (e.g., federated, distributed, decentralized learning) - Scalable applications for the Compute Continuum (e.g., IoT, microservices, serverless) - Data processing and analytics in the Compute Continuum - Digital Twins and industry applications in the Compute Continuum - Prototypes and real-life experiments involving Compute Continuum - Heterogeneous hardware acceleration and domain-specific architectures - Workflows in the Compute Continuum - Convergence and integration of HPC and Continuum platforms - Resilience and fault-tolerant strategies for the Compute Continuum - Benchmarks, reproducibility frameworks, and real-world experimental platforms * Submission Instructions The papers should be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines.

Call for Papers PAW-ATM 2025: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X
by Morris Wright, Karla Vanessa 14 Apr '25

14 Apr '25

***************************************************************** Call for Papers PAW-ATM 2025: Parallel Applications Workshop, Alternatives To MPI+X Held in conjunction with SC25, St. Louis, MO Submissions deadline: July 24, 2025 Notification to authors: August 30, 2025 Workshop date: November 16|17|21, 2025 https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/ **************************************************************** SUMMARY As supercomputers become more and more powerful, the number and diversity of applications that can be tackled with these machines grow. 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 two 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, figures, and non-AD/AE appendices, but excluding bibliography and acknowledgments. PAW-ATM follows the reproducibility initiative of SC25. Submissions shall include an Artifact Description (AD) appendix, and may optionally include an Artifact Evaluation (AE) appendix. Authors should include a draft of the AD/AE appendices with the initial manuscript PDF submission. You will have the opportunity to revise the appendix before its final submission. See https://sourceryinstitute.github.io/PAW/ for further details. 2) User experience abstracts: * Abstracts will be evaluated separately and will not be included in the published proceedings. Submissions in this track include a title and 1-4 pages abstract. The content may include any combination of novel and/or previously published work that is relevant to the workshop's scope. Content that highlights the experiences of users of alternatives of MPI, and their applications, will be prioritized within this submission category. Abstracts may optionally include AD/AE appendices, not included in the abstract page count, but such appendices will not be evaluated and no badges will be awarded.
