In agriculture, mobility, retail and government, the acquisition of data in Internet of Things (IoT) networks and their transmission and (pre-)processing along pipelines or workflows is increasingly maturing from do-it-yourself setups towards holistically orchestrated, managed, scheduled and secured systems. Advanced capabilities such as distributed in-memory processing, aggregation, learning and insights generation are becoming available for such distributed contexts, and modern cloud development frameworks support the onboarding of edge, IoT and robotic equipment, leading to programmable elastic Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that support dynamic data paths and computing topologies. The annual CIFS workshop gathers researchers and innovators around the challenges of building and operating complex computing topologies and associated cloud architectures around the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems, bridging the digital world with our environment. It calls for research and experience reports, from the algorithm level to completed production systems, in order to advance the knowledge resulting from progress in overcoming the challenges. CIFS also welcomes data-centric studies, simulations, testbeds and similar helpful software solutions. This year, in addition to all regular topics, we would like to discuss in particular networking equipment and communication/computation strategies in relation to IoT and edge/fog processing. There are many open challenges related to resilience in crises and emergency situations, governance and operational concerns such as SDN and the secure integration of networking equipment and edge AI platforms with cloud platforms. Topics of Interest We solicit research papers (up to 6p) and technical industry reports (typically 3-6p) on the following topics: * IoT-fog-cloud pipelines, architectures, and continuums in various domains, from industrial deployments to smart cities * IoT-cloud and IoT-edge/fog-cloud networking and computation placement * Smartness, adaptivity, fluidity, and dynamicity for processing sensed data * Computing paradigms: multi-cloud, fog, serverless, osmotic, continuum computing * Applications in digital mobility, retail, agriculture, urban planning, and other CPS fields * End-to-end reliability and security concepts across IoT-fog-cloud continuums and networked CPS and CPSoS * Physical and digital security of IoT deployments, smart meters, and other end devices * Privacy, scalability, and economics considerations as well as trade-offs * Cross-border, cross-provider, and cross-stack security issues * Secure and safety-aware cloud/fog computing concepts for emergency situations * Security, resilience, and governance in clouds and continuums * Distributed messaging and data storage security and proof-of-ownership/provision/retrievability Submission Information Submitted manuscripts must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal.

CFP: ProTools 2023: Workshop on Programming and Performance Visualization Tools
by Weidendorfer, Josef 31 Jul '23

31 Jul '23

============================================================ Call for Papers: ProTools 2023 Workshop on Programming and Performance Visualization Tools Held in conjunction with SC23. Denver, CO, USA November 12, 2023 https://sc-protools-workshop.github.io/protools23/ Submission Deadline: August 11, 2023 ============================================================ Understanding program behavior is critical to overcome the expected architectural and programming complexities, such as limited power budgets, heterogeneity, hierarchical memories, shrinking I/O bandwidths, and performance variability, that arise on modern HPC platforms. To do so, HPC software developers need intuitive support tools for debugging, performance measurement, analysis, and tuning of large-scale HPC applications. Moreover, data collected from these tools such as hardware counters, communication traces, and network traffic can be far too large and too complex to be analyzed in a straightforward manner. We need new automatic analysis and visualization approaches to help application developers intuitively understand the multiple, interdependent effects that algorithmic choices have on application correctness or performance. The Workshop on Programming and Performance Visualization Tools (ProTools) brings together HPC application developers, tool developers, and researchers from the visualization, performance, and program analysis fields for an exchange of new approaches to assist developers in analyzing, understanding, and optimizing programs for extreme-scale platforms. Workshop Topics: Topics include, but are not limited to: * Performance tools for scalable parallel platforms * Scalable displays of performance data * Debugging and correctness tools for parallel programming paradigms * Case studies demonstrating the use of performance visualization in practice * Program development tool chains (incl. IDEs) for parallel systems * Methodologies for performance engineering * Data models to enable scalable visualization * Graph representation of unstructured performance data * Tool technologies for extreme-scale challenges (e.g., scalability, resilience, power) * Tool support for accelerated architectures and large-scale multi-cores * Presentation of high-dimensional data * Visual correlations between multiple data source * Measurement and optimization tools for networks and I/O * Tool infrastructures and environments * Human-Computer Interfaces for exploring performance data * Multi-scale representations of performance data for visual exploration * Application developer experiences with programming and performance tools Paper Submission: We solicit papers that focus on performance, debugging, and correctness tools for parallel programming paradigms as well as techniques and case studies at the intersection of performance analysis and visualization. Authors must submit their papers in PDF format using the new ACM proceedings template available at https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template Templates are available for Word and LaTeX. Authors should also use the 2012 ACM Computing Classification System, CCS2012, see https://www.acm.org/publications/class-2012 to classify their papers.

=============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Extended Deadline August 11, 2023 Workshop on Energy and Resource Efficiency of data Centers Latin America High Performance Computing Conference (CARLA 2023) Cartagena, Colombia September 19, 2023 https://ee-workshop.for.lrz.de/ Springer CCIS Series =============================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline : August 11, 2023 Author notification : August 18, 2023 Workshop date : September 19, 2023 Camera Ready papers : October 6, 2023 IMPORTANT LINKS All information is available online: https://ee-workshop.for.lrz.de/call-for-papers/ Submission is open via Springer OCS: https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/CARLA2023 Conference website: https://www.carla2023.org/call-workshop-papers CALL FOR PAPERS Data centers have become an essential part of modern life, powering complex applications and enabling seamless connectivity. From internet searches and weather forecasts to online ordering, data centers play a crucial role. Scientific research, including data-intensive high-performance computing (HPC) and cloud computing, relies heavily on these facilities. The environmental impact of data center operations cannot be ignored, particularly in the context of energy consumption. In many regions, the demand for computing and storage capacities surpasses available resources, ne-cessitating an ecologically, economically, socially, and technologically conscious approach to develop-ment. Today, energy-efficient systems offer a viable solution to address this challenge, enabling the reali-zation of more powerful and environmentally friendly data center infrastructures. By focusing on metrics such as performance per computing operation (Watts/FLOPS), energy efficiency can be significantly improved. Efforts to optimize energy management in HPC data centers go beyond primary cooling solutions. Waste heat reuse and energy optimization are critical areas of focus. Real-time processing of sensor data using machine learning algorithms plays an increasingly significant role. Moreover, the regular replacement of hardware with more energy-efficient and powerful systems contributes to environmental impact through production and disposal. Managing data centers efficiently requires complex optimization strategies to enhance resource usage and increase economic and environmental sustainability. Software plays a crucial role in these optimiza-tions, as it controls energy-saving modes, data transfer, and computing operations. Container and work-flow frameworks already enable more flexible and efficient hardware utilization, although their integration into supercomputing clusters is still in progress. This workshop will explore various topics related to energy management in HPC data centers, including but not limited to: • Green Data Center IT and Software • Optimizing the energy efficiency of systems • Models for energy and resource efficiency assessment • Resource conservation through smart technologies and artificial intelligence • Real-time energy consumption prediction and regulation using machine learning • Efficient facility infrastructures and hybrid cooling technologies • Secondary use of waste heat and integrated community heating systems • Scalable, hybrid, and flexible compute and data system architectures • Container and workflow frameworks enabling energy efficiency methods • Green coding approaches in high-performance software • Scheduling algorithms for optimal energy use Contributions that extend beyond these topics and align with the core theme of the workshop are particu-larly welcome. Join us to explore innovative approaches for achieving energy efficiency and sustainability in HPC data centers, paving the way for a greener and more efficient future. VENUE The Latin America High Performance Computing Conference (CARLA 2023) will take place in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia from September 18-22, 2023.

Efficient data storage and data management are crucial to scientific productivity in both traditional simulation-oriented HPC environments and Big Data analysis environments. This issue is further exacerbated by the growing volume of experimental and observational data, the widening gap between the performance of computational hardware and storage hardware, and the emergence of new data-driven algorithms in machine learning. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate research that addresses the most critical challenges in scientific data storage and data processing. PDSW will continue to build on the successful tradition established by its predecessor workshops: the Petascale Data Storage Workshop (PDSW, 2006-2015) and the Data Intensive Scalable Computing Systems (DISCS 2012-2015) workshop. These workshops were successfully combined in 2016, and the resulting joint workshop has attracted up to 38 full paper submissions and 140 attendees per year from 2016 to 2022. We encourage the community to submit original manuscripts that: * introduce and evaluate novel algorithms or architectures, * inform the community of important scientific case studies or workloads, or * validate the reproducibility of previously published work Special attention will be given to issues in which community collaboration is crucial for problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability, standardization, and shared tools. We also strongly encourage papers to share complete experimental environment information (software version numbers, benchmark configurations, etc.) to facilitate collaboration. Topics of interest include the following: * Large-scale data caching architectures * Scalable architectures for distributed data storage, archival, and virtualization * The application of new data processing models and algorithms towards computing and analysis * Performance benchmarking, resource management, and workload studies * Enabling cloud and container-based models for scientific data analysis * Techniques for data integrity, availability, reliability, and fault tolerance * Programming models and big data frameworks for data intensive computing * Hybrid cloud/on-premise data processing * Cloud-specific data storage and transit costs and opportunities * Programmability of storage systems * Data filtering, compression, reduction techniques * Data and metadata indexing and querying * Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management * Integrating computation into the memory and storage hierarchy to facilitate in-situ and in-transit data processing * Alternative data storage models, including object stores and key-value stores * Productivity tools for data intensive computing, data mining, and knowledge discovery * Tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and data intensive components * Cross-cloud data management * Storage system optimization and data analytics with machine learning * Innovative techniques and performance evaluation for new memory and storage systems Regular Paper Submissions -------------------------------------- All papers will be evaluated by a competitive peer review process under the supervision of the workshop program committee. Selected papers and associated talk slides will be made available on the workshop web site. The papers will also be published in the SC23 Workshop Proceedings. Authors of regular papers are strongly encouraged to submit Artifact Description (AD) Appendices that can help to reproduce and validate their experimental results. While the inclusion of the AD Appendices is optional for PDSW’23, submissions that are accompanied by AD Appendices will be given favorable consideration for the PDSW Best Paper award. PDSW’23 follows the SC23 Reproducibility Initiative. For Artifact Description (AD) Appendices, we will use the format of the SC23 for PDSW'23 submissions. The AD should include a field for one or more links to data (zenodo, figshare, etc.) and code (github, gitlab, bitbucket, etc.) repositories. For the Artifacts that will be placed in the code repository, we encourage authors to follow the PDSW 2023 Reproducibility Addendum on how to structure the artifact, as it will make it easier for the reviewing committee and readers of the paper in the future. Submit a not previously published paper as a PDF file, indicate authors and affiliations. Papers must be up to 6 pages, not less than 10 point font and not including references and optional reproducibility appendices. *Submission site*: https://submissions.supercomputing.org/ *Submissions due: *July 30th, 2023, 11:59 PM AoE Papers must use the ACM conference paper template available at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template Work-in-progress (WIP) Session -------------------------------------------------- There will be a WIP session where presenters provide brief 5-minute talks on their on-going work, with fresh problems/solutions. WIP content is typically material that may not be mature or complete enough for a full paper submission and will not be included in the proceedings. A one-page abstract is required.

[CFP] IA^3 2023: 13th SC Workshop on Irregular Applications: Architectures and Algorithms - DEADLINE EXTENDED
by Tumeo, Antonino 29 Jul '23

29 Jul '23

[Please accept our apologies for multiple postings.] !!!! NEWS: DEADLINE EXTENDED TO AUGUST 7 !!!! IA^3 2023 13th Workshop on Irregular Applications: Architectures and Algorithms https://hpc.pnl.gov/IA3/ November 12, 2022 Denver, CO In conjunction with SC23 In cooperation with ACM ------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------ Emerging data-intensive, supercomputing applications are moving towards a convergence of scientific simulations, data analytics, and learning algorithms. Many of the components of these applications pertain both to well established and emerging fields, such as machine learning, social network analysis, bioinformatics, semantic graph databases, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and computer security. In processing massive sets of unstructured data, the components often execute many irregular, fine-grainaccesses and synchronization events. Since current high-performance programming models, runtimes, and architectures rely on regular task graphs, bulk synchronous communications and high temporal and spatial data locality to reduce operational latencies, it is difficult to express irregular applications in current HPC programming models and scale performance on current supercomputing machines. Development of improved programming and execution models that address the issues of irregular applications is critical to solving the data challenges in large-scale science and data analysis. This workshop seeks to explore solutions for supporting efficient execution of irregular applications in the form of new features at the level of the micro- and system architecture, network, languages and libraries, runtimes, compilers, algorithms, and performance studies. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to: - Micro- and System-architectures, including multi- and many-core designs, heterogeneous processors, accelerators (GPUs, vector processors, Automata processor), reconfigurable (coarse grained reconfigurable and FPGA designs) and custom processors - Network architectures and interconnects including high-radix and optical networks - Novel memory architectures and designs (including processors-in memory) - Impact of new computing paradigms on irregular workloads (including neuromorphic processors and quantum computing) - Modeling, simulation, and evaluation of novel architectures with irregular workloads - Languages and programming models for irregular workloads - Library and runtime support for irregular workloads - Compiler and analysis techniques for irregular workloads - Innovative algorithmic techniques for irregular workloads - Combinatorial algorithms (graph algorithms, sparse linear algebra, etc.) - Impact of irregularity on machine learning approaches - Parallelization techniques and data structures for irregular workloads - Data structures combining regular and irregular computations (e.g., attributed graphs) - Approaches for managing massive unstructured datasets (including streaming data) - High performance data analytics applications (including graph databases and solutions that combine graph algorithms with machine learning) - Applications that integrate scientific simulation, data analytics, and learning, and require efficient execution of irregular workloads The workshop welcomes regular paper submissions, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, as well as innovative ideas related to the workshop theme. We solicit both 8-page regular papers and 4-page position papers. Authors of exciting but not mature enough regular papers may be offered the option of a short 4-page paper and related short presentation. -------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES -------------------------- Abstract Submission: August 7, 2023 (AoE) (EXTENDED) Position or Regular Paper Submission: August 7, 2023 (AoE) (EXTENDED) Notification: September 8, 2023 Camera-ready: September 29, 2023 Workshop: November 18, 2023 ------------------- SUBMISSIONS ------------------- Submission site: https://submissions.supercomputing.org Submitted manuscripts may not exceed eight (8) pages in length for regular papers (excluding references) and four (4) pages for position papers (including references).
