***************************************************************** Productive, Performant Software for Large Scale Scientific Data Analysis October 21-22, 2025 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Virtual and In-Person Options Available Registration deadline: October 9, 2025 Workshop dates: October 21-22, 2025 https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://lssda.github.io/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!YIx4Sv… **************************************************************** Scientific user facilities (SUFs) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) drive scientific discovery and innovation by delivering world-class experimental capabilities that expand the frontiers of biology, chemistry, physics, and materials science. Over the next 5 years, upgrades at SUFs will generate over an order of magnitude more data, promising to accelerate the pace of scientific innovation if correctly harnessed. However, this flood of data poses challenges for the scientific community, despite continued growth in HPC hardware performance. The current state of the practice and tools optimized for HPC are insufficiently flexible and productive to address the high-stakes, short timelines, and rapidly evolving requirements of highly dynamic scientific user experiments. Additionally, traditional HPC software tools demand expertise that most users of SUFs cannot realistically apply within the pace and pressures of modern experiments, underscoring the need for more accessible, high-productivity approaches. Emerging AI/ML technologies, though promising, do not address these needs, and will not lead to a productive, high-performance software ecosystem without decisive action. This workshop will explore the research challenges and opportunities in building a highly productive, high-performance software ecosystem for large scale scientific data analysis for users at the SUFs. The goal of the workshop is to identify key research directions that, if addressed, would substantially change the status quo and deliver an order of magnitude increase in productivity and performance for users of SUFs across the DOE complex. - Agenda: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://lssda.github.io/agenda__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!… - Registration: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://lssda.github.io/register__;!!G_uCfscf7eW… ## Plenary Speakers - Ben Brown (DOE) - Jana Thayer (SLAC) - Nicholas Sauter and David Mittan-Moreau (LBL) ## Important Dates - Registration deadline: October 9, 2025 - Workshop dates: October 21-22, 2025 ## Location and Travel The workshop will be held at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, CA. Parking is available for free on site.

RISC-V, as an open-standard Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), provides the foundation for developing CPUs without royalty restrictions and supports the establishment of a shared software environment. Owing to its community-driven character, the ISA has stimulated the design of a heterogeneous range of processors, each targeting distinct computational requirements. Although RISC-V has already become prominent in several technological domains—marked most recently by the shipment of its sixteenth billion core—it has not yet achieved significant integration within HPC. The trajectory of RISC-V, however, indicates considerable promise for supercomputing. Should the pace of expansion observed in recent years persist, its adoption in HPC workloads is expected to grow throughout the present decade. Technical advances reinforce this expectation: newly developed CPUs and accelerators based on RISC-V are beginning to demonstrate performance capabilities far exceeding those of earlier generations, making the architecture increasingly competitive in high-performance contexts. The openness and standardization of RISC-V are central to its strength. They enable a broad and expanding community of stakeholders to contribute to both the evolution of the ISA and the associated tooling. For HPC, this dual role is particularly relevant. First, it provides an avenue to shape the ISA so that it aligns with the demands of upcoming supercomputing systems. Second, it ensures that, despite the proliferation of diverse CPU implementations, software ecosystems—compilers, operating systems, and libraries—tend to remain portable across platforms with limited modification required. This workshop is therefore positioned as a forum to connect proponents of RISC-V in HPC with the wider supercomputing community. Through the exchange of practical experiences, discussion of benefits, and presentation of successful use cases, the event intends to stimulate broader recognition of RISC-V and to foster greater participation in its ongoing development.
