*******************************************************************************
GrAPL 2020: Workshop on Graphs, Architectures, Programming, and Learning https://hpc.pnl.gov/grapl/
May 18, 2020 Co-Located with IPDPS 2020 New Orleans Louisiana, USA
GrAPL is the result of the combination of two IPDPS workshops: GABB: Graph Algorithms Building Blocks GraML: Workshop on The Intersection of Graph Algorithms and Machine Learning
******************************************************************************
SUMMARY -------
Data analytics is one of the fastest growing segments of computer science. Many real-world analytic workloads are a mix of graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop’s scope is broad and encompasses the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows.
This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. In particular, we are interested, but not limited to the following topics:
• Provide tractability and performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows; • Discuss the problem domains and problems addressable with graph methods, machine learning methods, or both; • Discuss programming models and associated frameworks such as Pregel, Galois, Boost, GraphBLAS, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs; • Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms; • Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning;
Besides regular papers, short papers (up to four pages) describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.
