[CFP] MODA23 at ISC 2023
by Thomas Jakobsche 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

[We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] 4th ISC HPC International Workshop on Monitoring & Operational Data Analytics (MODA23) May 25, 2023, Hamburg, Germany Website: moda.dmi.unibas.ch Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=moda23 Twitter: https://twitter.com/moda_hpc (@moda_hpc) Following the successful previous editions initiated at ISC HPC, we are inviting contributions to the 4th ISC HPC International Workshop on Monitoring and Operational Data Analytics (MODA23). The goal of the MODA workshop series is to provide a venue for sharing insight into current trends in MODA, identify potential gaps, and offer an outlook into the future of the involved fields: high performance computing, databases, machine learning, and solutions that can contribute to the design and procurement of upcoming Exascale systems. === Important Dates === Abstract submission: March 24, 2023 (AoE) Paper submission: March 31, 2023 (AoE) Author notification: April 21, 2023 Camera-ready: June 22, 2023 MODA23 workshop: May 25, 2023, Hamburg, Germany === Goals === While MODA is already a common practice at various HPC and data centers, each site adopts a different, insular approach, rarely adopted in production environments, and mostly limited to the visualization of the system and building infrastructure metrics for health check purposes. In this regard, we observe a gap between the collection of operational data and its meaningful and effective analysis and exploitation, which prevents closing the feedback loop between the monitored HPC and data processing system, its operation, and its end-users. Under the above premises, the goals of the MODA 2023 workshop are: (1) Gather and share knowledge and establish a common ground within the international community with respect to best practices in monitoring and operational data analytics. (2) Discuss future strategies and alternatives for MODA, potentially improving existing solutions and envisioning a common baseline approach in computing and data centers. (3) Establish a debate on the usefulness and applicability of AI/ML techniques on collected operational data for optimizing the operation of production systems (for practices such as predictive maintenance, runtime optimization, optimal and adaptive resource allocation and scheduling). === Scope === We seek novel research ideas that align with the above goals and match (see note below) the scope of the MODA workshop series: (a) Challenges, solutions, and best practices for monitoring systems at HPC and data centers. A significant focus is on operational data collection mechanisms - covering different system levels, from building infrastructure sensor data to processing-core performance metrics, and - targeting different end-users, from system administrators and operators to computer scientists, application developers, and computational scientists. (b) Effective strategies for analyzing and interpreting the collected operational data. Such strategies should particularly include (but are not limited to): - different visualization approaches and - machine learning-based strategies, potentially inferring knowledge of the system behavior and allowing for the realization of a proactive control loop. Note: New solutions proposed in the context of application performance modeling and/or application performance analysis tools fall outside the scope of the MODA workshop series. Novel contributions in the area of compiler analysis, debugging, programming models, and/or sustainability of scientific software are also considered out of the scope of the workshop. === Topics We cordially invite you to submit your contributions to the MODA23 workshop, in the form of short (6 pages) and full (12 pages) submissions, that address but are not limited to: * Monitoring and operational data analysis challenges and approaches (data collection, storage, visualization, integration into system software, adoption) * State-of-the-practice method, tools, techniques in monitoring at various HPC and data centers * Solutions for monitoring and analysis of operational data deployed productively on large- to extreme-scale systems, with a large number of users * Solutions that have proven limitations in terms of quality of the collected data or efficiency of real-time collection of operational data * Opportunities and challenges of using machine learning methods for efficient monitoring and analysis of operational data * Examples of successful integration of monitoring and data analysis practices into production system software (energy and resource management) and runtime systems (scheduling and resource allocation) * Explicit gaps between operational data collection, processing, effective analysis, and impactful exploitation; new approaches for closing these gaps for the benefit of improving HPC and data center planning, operations, and research * Means to identify (intentional or unintentional) misuse of resources, and methods to mitigate its effects: taking automatic steps to contain the effects of one application/job/user allocation on others, supporting users to identify causes for the misbehavior of their application, linking to intrusion detection. and safe and trusted multitenancy * Concepts to integrate MODA into the system codesign at all levels, including dedicated hardware components, middleware features, and tool support that make ‘monitoring and analysis by design and by default’ a viable option without sacrificing performance. * Examples and challenges of applying FAIR data practices, including sharing of monitoring workflows and tools across sites while ensuring compliance with GDPR regulations, user access agreements, or special operational security requirements. * Concrete use cases of improvements achieved by applying ML models in HPC operations * Suggestions for appropriate data to collect towards an open data set (ODS) (ideally containing anomalies) that captures the execution of a set of representative applications on a representative production HPC system * Methodologies to prepare the ODS in view of deploying appropriate ML models * Use of MODA to tackle the rising challenges of sustainable HPC, mainly at the level of energy efficiency, but also in hardware stability and replacement policies, from application-level to sitewide approaches. === Submission and Publication All papers submitted to MODA23 must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another venue. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee members and accepted papers are expected to be presented during the workshop. Papers should be submitted through the EasyChair online system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=moda23. Papers are required to be formatted according to the ISC research papers guidelines using LNCS style (see Springer’s website): * Single-column format. * Maximum 6 (six) for short papers or 12 (twelve) pages for full papers (including figures and references). * Use Springer’s LaTeX document class or Word template (see Springer’s Proceedings Guidelines). The workshop chairs reserve the right to reject incorrectly formatted papers. The MODA23 workshop papers will be published together with the ISC HPC 2023 post-conference proceedings (published by Springer LNCS), including an abstract of the keynote and invited talks, and a description of the panel session. === Workshop Organizers === * Florina Ciorba – University of Basel, Switzerland * Utz-Uwe Haus – HPE EMEA Research Lab, Switzerland * Nicolas Lachiche – University of Strasbourg, France * Martin Schulz – Technische Universität München, Germany === Publicity Chair === * Thomas Jakobsche – University of Basel, Switzerland We are looking forward to your submissions and to seeing you on May 25, 2023 in Hamburg, Germany.

International Workshop on Scalable Compute Continuum [WSCC 2023]: CFP (Special Issue FGCS)
by Gabriele Mencagli 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

************************************************************************** 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 maximum of 12 pages. * Special Issue Authors of the accepted papers at the workshop will be invited to submit an extension of their work to the Special Issue on Scalable Compute Continuum already accepted at Elsevier Future Generation Computer Systems. * Important Dates May 5th, 2023 Paper submission deadline June 19th, 2023 Paper acceptance notifications July 2nd, 2023 Camera-ready due * Workshop Co-Chairs - 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 Looking forward to receiving your excellent submissions soon.

CFP: AI4Sys. 1st Workshop on AI for Systems at HPDC 2023
by Jai Dayal 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

########################################################### The 1st Workshop on AI for Systems (AI4Sys 2023) In Conjunction with the 32nd ACM HPDC, Orlando, Florida June 20, 2023 Workshop Website: https://sites.google.com/view/ai4sys/home ########################################################### ABOUT AI4Sys AI/ML are being incorporated into all aspects of the scientific and engineering process. One early effort area has been to augment existing autonomic system components with AI models that can offer finer-grained and continuously updated automation behavior. Work has been done to try to predict IO behavior to enable more efficient machine throughput, log monitoring to detect patterns that may reveal either security concerns or faulty components that fail in consistent, but unusual ways, and to manage applications and caches to better address the system as a whole rather than at an individual component level. All of these, and many more, system-related tasks address a complex, sometimes intractable problem, and seek to use AI tools to offer better solutions than either heuristics or point solutions that have existed previously. ---------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------------------- This workshop solicits novel work that explores how to effectively incorporate AI into system management and monitoring, particularly for complex systems that support scientific and engineering workloads (i.e., cloud and HPC). Areas of interest and domains of work include, but are not limited to: 1) tools and runtimes for incorporating AI into systems 2) privacy and security concerns for managing system data used for model creation 3) continuous model evolution and the impacts of chasing current workloads on a dynamic system 4) AI algorithms for systems problems 5) Subsystem related optimizations including operating systems, data migration, storage, job management, resource allocation, and related topics 6) Position and experience papers on using AI in systems Papers will be in the ACM conference format no more than 5 pages long including everything except references. • Submission Deadline (firm): April 14, 2023 AoE • Responses to Authors: May 7, 2023 • Camera Ready due: TBD (in line with HPDC Camera Ready deadline) • Workshop: June 20, 2023 Workshop Organizers: • Jay Lofstead (Sandia National Laboratories) (gflofst(a)sandia.gov) • Jai Dayal (Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology) (jai.dayal(a)samsung.com)
