CORRECTNESS Workshop at SC23 — Call for Papers
by Cindy Rubio González 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Sixth International Workshop on Software Correctness for HPC Applications (Correctness 2023) In conjunction with SC23: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, November 2023, Dallas, Texas, USA. In cooperation with IEEE Computer Society. https://correctness-workshop.github.io/2023/ ======================================================================== Dates ===== Paper submissions due: August 4, 2023 Notification of acceptance: September 8, 2023 Camera-ready papers due: September 22, 2023 Scope ===== Ensuring correctness in high-performance computing (HPC) applications is one of the fundamental challenges that the HPC community faces today. While significant advances in verification, testing, and debugging have been made to isolate software errors (or defects) in the context of non-HPC software, several factors make achieving correctness in HPC applications and systems much more challenging than in general systems software: growing heterogeneity (architectures with CPUs, GPUs, and special purpose accelerators), massive scale computations (very high degree of concurrency), use of combined parallel programing models (e.g., MPI+X), new scalable numerical algorithms (e.g., to leverage reduced precision in floating-point arithmetic), and aggressive compiler optimizations/transformations are some of the challenges that make correctness harder in HPC. The following DOE report lays out the key challenges and research areas of HPC correctness: https://doi.org/10.2172/1470989 As the complexity of future architectures, algorithms, and applications in HPC increases, the ability to fully exploit exascale systems will be limited without correctness. With the continuous use of HPC software to advance scientific and technological capabilities, novel techniques and practical tools for software correctness in HPC are invaluable. The goal of the Correctness Workshop is to bring together researchers and developers to present and discuss novel ideas to address the problem of correctness in HPC. The workshop will feature contributed papers and invited talks in this area. Topics ====== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Formal methods and rigorous mathematical techniques for correctness in HPC Applications * Program synthesis techniques for testing and debugging HPC applications * Frameworks to address the challenges of testing complex HPC applications (e.g., multiphysics applications) * Approaches for the specification of numerical algorithms with the goal of correctness checking * Error identification in the design and implementation of numerical algorithms using finite-precision floating point numbers * Tools to control the effect of non-determinism when debugging and testing HPC software * Scalable debugging solutions for large-scale HPC applications * Scalable tools for model checking, verification, certification, or symbolic execution * Static and dynamic analysis to test and check correctness in the entire HPC software ecosystem * Predictive debugging and testing approaches to forecast the occurrence of errors in specific conditions * Machine learning and anomaly detection for bug detection and localization * Correctness in emerging HPC programming models * Analysis of software error propagation and error handling in HPC runtime systems and libraries * Metrics to measure the degree of correctness of HPC software * Specifications to check the correctness of runtime systems * Large databases of bug reports and/or reproducible test cases of HPC software * Benchmarks to test the effectiveness of HPC correctness tools Proceedings =========== We expect that the proceedings will be archived in IEEE Xplore via the IEEE Computer Society. Submissions and Format ====================== Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical or experience papers at a length of at least 6 pages but not exceeding 8 pages of content, including everything.

These characteristics bring out new challenges in energy efficiency, fault-tolerance and, scalability. It is commonly believed that software has the biggest share of the responsibility to tackle these challenges. In other words, this responsibility is delegated to the next generation programming models and their associated middleware/runtimes. This workshop focuses on different aspects of programming models such as task-based parallelism (Charm++, Legion, X10, HPX, etc), PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, UPC++, etc.), Machine Learning (NVIDIA RAPIDS, Scikit-learn etc.), Deep Learning (Caffe, Microsoft CNTK, Google TensorFlow, Facebook PyTorch), directive-based languages (OpenMP, OpenACC) and Hybrid MPI+X, etc. It also focuses on their associated middleware (unified runtimes, interoperability for hybrid programming, tight integration of MPI+X, and support for accelerators/FPGAs) for next generation systems and architectures. The ultimate objective of the ESPM2 workshop is to serve as a forum that brings together researchers from academia and industry working in the areas of programming models, runtime systems, compilation and languages, and application developers. ESPM2 2023 will be held as a full day workshop in conjunction with the SC23 in Denver, Colorado, USA. Topics of interest to the ESPM2 workshop include (but not limited to): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -New programming models, languages and constructs for exploiting high concurrency and heterogeneity -Experience with and improvements for existing parallel languages and run-time environments such as: --MPI --PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, UPC++, etc.), --Directive-based programming (OpenMP, OpenACC), --Asynchronous Task-based models (Charm++, Legion, X10, HPX, etc) --Hybrid MPI+X models -Machine Learning (NVIDIA RAPIDS, Scikit-learn etc.), and -Deep Learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch, LBANN) -Parallel compilers, programming tools, and environments -Programming environments for heterogeneous multi-core systems and accelerators such as OpenPOWER, ARM, GPUs, etc. Submission Procedure: ------------------------- Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via the Linklings conference system.

rewords23: Reproducible Workflows, Data Management, and Security eScience 23 Limassol, Cyprus, October 10, 2023 Conference website: https://sites.google.com/vols.utk.edu/rewords23/home Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rewords23 Submission deadline: July 10, 2023 Topics: reproducibility for big data/ai workflows data management tools and techniques provenance management techniques and tools reproducibility efforts and techniques This workshop explores innovations and experiences around developing portable, general, reproducible workflows while paying attention to providing open data with verifiable authenticity while protecting privacy, where needed. We are looking for community discussion and participation on the above topics plus the following. First, component packaging via containers and virtual machines, automation scripting, deployment, portability builds, and system support for these and other relevant activities. Second, provenance collection, exploration, and tracking are key for a well-documented scientific output. Third, issues with managing large data sets and workflow intermediate data, particularly those intended to manage publicly accessed data for use and reuse are encouraged. Finally, new techniques and technologies that address portability and reproducibility requirements, such as those required for peer-reviewed publication, are also requested. Submission Guidelines All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome: Full papers describing emerging and future computational workloads are combining traditional HPC applications with tools and techniques from the scale-out data analytics and machine learning community. Getting these technologies to co-exist and interoperate to advance scientific discovery is a daunting task with few known good solutions. In general, constructing these workflows has the potential to create pitfalls and incompatibilities that limit adoption. Formalizing the steps necessary for an application or data processing pipeline is increasingly popular and necessary. Requirements for reproducibility artifacts for publishing venues are also driving this formalization. The processes and infrastructure to accomplish these requirements are frequently bespoke or custom for a particular research area. All of these formalization activities can be described as workflow systems. Existing off-the-shelf tools address a distributed environment fairly well, but are not complete solutions and do not address the scale-up community much, if at all. Complicating managing workflows are the tasks of managing data both during workflow execution and then afterward as well as offering authentication and data security for shared data sets. With some data, such as climate simulation output, being subject to intense scrutiny, it becomes crucial to offer open data that can be verified as authentic by means of encrypted creator identities, and accessible only to people with a need to know. Sharing and analyzing the data knowing it is authentic while protecting the privacy of the creators is essential for reliable open science while protecting the identity of the scientists performing the work. This workshop seeks to explore ideas and experiences on what kinds of infrastructure developments can improve upon the state of the art. Explorations of component packaging via containers and virtual machines, automation scripting, deployment, portability builds, and system support for these and other relevant activities are key infrastructure. Provenance collection, exploration, and tracking are key for a well-documented scientific output. Using existing systems to achieve these goals via experiences is important for developing best practices that span application domains. Data privacy techniques such as multi-party encryption and differential privacy are important as well. Issues with managing large data sets and workflow intermediate data, particularly those intended to manage publicly accessed data for use and reuse are encouraged. New techniques and technologies that address reproducibility requirements are also requested. We seek work on all of these, and related, topics as well as position and experience papers looking to drive the conversation for practitioners and researchers in these spaces. This workshop contributes by sharing experiences and exploring the various technological infrastructure needs to support effective, convenient workflow systems and application composition structures and approaches across a broad spectrum of HPC environments from clusters to supercomputers to cloud systems. Paper submission guidelines: Papers should be formatted in IEEE format following eScience formatting rules and can be 5-6 pages not including references. The format of the paper should be double-column text using single-spaced 10-point size on 8.5 x 11-inch pages, as per IEEE 8.5 x 11 manuscript guidelines. Templates are available from this link. List of Topics Position and Experience papers related to scientific applications and platforms on related topics (particularly the topics listed below) Big Data or AI workflow systems like Spark, Hadoop, and Tensorflow in conjunction with data management and reproducibility efforts and techniques Front-end systems for configuring or controlling workflows Data management tools and techniques Privacy-preserving methods to enable data sharing Workflow engines designed to simplify workflow construction for end users Provenance management and collection techniques and tools Application-specific workflow implementations Mechanisms to support combining multiple application components into a composite application or workflow Software engineering tools and techniques to support workflow creation, execution, and use Reproducibility supporting infrastructure In situ analytics or visualization support for workflows System software/OS features to enable workflow tools and application composition Programming support for assembling workflows or connecting application components Reusable components intended as either ''glue'' between workflow components or for analysis or other processing Storage (both disk and in compute area) support for buffering between components Programming support for addressing data format/contents mismatch Programming support for resource management
