CFP for ISAV: In Situ AI, Analysis and Visualization at #SC26
by Matthew Larsen 29 Apr '26

29 Apr '26

https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://isav-workshop.github.io/2026/__;!!G_uCfs… Workshop Theme ------------------------ HPC platforms and applications have reached such large scale, complexity, and heterogeneity, that a major challenge has become the wide gap between our ability to compute extreme-scale data and our ability to gain insight from it to make timely, data-driven decisions. A well-known, yet challenging, approach to visual analysis, learning, and processing is performing the tasks in situ, i.e., while the data is still in memory, potentially in lieu of saving the raw data out. Since 2015, ISAV has fostered a community of in situ developers, practitioners, researchers, and users of in situ methods and infrastructure, connecting industry, government laboratories, and academia across all career levels. Through presentations, discussions, and peer-reviewed proceedings of research findings, lessons learned, and early ideas, ISAV illuminates new requirements and gaps driven by science and engineering applications and fosters the application of in situ methods. This is the 12th year of the ISAV workshop, continuing from last year we now invite full paper submissions, and in situ methods on ML/AI. Furthermore, we are expanding the lightning talks track to a “Community Talks” track, which invites members of the in situ community to share early research ideas, hands-on practical learnings, insights into creative solutions, etc., with more emphasis on practical experiences and knowledge sharing We celebrate that in situ processing has evolved from research efforts to a central component in supercomputer, cloud and edge applications. In situ methods are in high demand: in training ML/AI surrogate models or leveraging ML/AI models for analysis, in system-scale 3D visualization for the latest Exascale supercomputers, in cloud products providing responsive user experiences, in tightly coupled digital twins, and in computational sciences. Each one of these examples has a different set of requirements in response time, data throughput and complexity of data pipelines, and more exploration in the in situ space is needed to address multifaceted goals: (1) to preserve important elements of simulations, (2) to significantly reduce the data needed to preserve these elements, (3) to offer as much flexibility as possible for post-processing exploration, and (4) to accelerate the gathering of insights to be fast enough to make timely decisions based on it. ISAV’26 brings together the broader HPC community and researchers, developers and practitioners from industry, academia, and government laboratories who are developing, applying, and deploying scalable in situ methods at any high performance platform. The goal is to present research findings, lessons learned, and insights related to developing and applying in situ methods across a range of science and engineering applications in scalable environments; to discuss topics like opportunities presented by new workflows in AI/ML, modeling, data processing, emerging architectures, infrastructure needs, requirements, and gaps, and experiences to foster and enable in situ AI, analysis, and visualization. Since its inception in 2015, ISAV has fostered and catered a diverse audience and supported early career members, becoming a “center of gravity” for researchers, practitioners, and users/consumers of in situ methods, software and integrations in the HPC space. Through presentations and discussions of research findings, lessons learned, and early ideas, ISAV illuminates new requirements and gaps driven by science and engineering applications, and fosters the community members and knowledge base around the development and application of in situ methods with its peer-reviewed proceedings. Participation/Call for Papers ------------------------------------- In its 13th year, ISAV continues to invite full paper submissions up to 10 pages (including references), short papers (5 page + 1 page references) and now invites community talks (abstracts, 1 page including references) to widen participation from the in situ community. Full papers should present research results, identity opportunities or challenges, or present case studies/best practices for in situ methods. Short papers may cover the same topics as full papers, or document late breaking ideas & early progress on novel concepts. Community talks invite members of the in situ community to share early research ideas, hands-on practical learnings, insights into creative solutions, etc., with more emphasis on practical experiences and fostering knowledge sharing at the workshop. Full and short papers will appear in the workshop proceedings and authors will be invited to give an oral presentation at the workshop; community talks will be invited to give brief oral presentations at the workshop. Submissions of all types may identify opportunities, challenges and best practices for in situ AI/ML, in situ analysis and in situ visualization. Community talks are further encouraged to share hands-on practical learning and creative solutions, etc.. They may propose new methods and techniques, provide positions, or experience reports on in situ analysis, learning and visualization. Areas of interest for ISAV include, but are not limited to: Methods, Algorithms and Synthesis between HPC & ML: In situ analysis (feature detection, data reduction/compression, data summarization, ML training) and scientific visualization using data-driven, surrogate-assisted, statistical, temporal, geometric, or time-varying methods. Applications and Workflows: Applications (simulations, data processing, scientific user facilities) and integrations into digital twins. Workflows for supporting complex in situ processing pipelines (incl. enabling accelerated post-processing and elasticity), their resilience (error detection, data congestion, fault recovery) and reproducibility. Scalability Requirements: Scalability, resource utilization, data flow, and simplified access to extreme heterogeneous resources. Real-time coupling of data (modeled or measured), surrogates and algorithms. Case Studies, Data Sources and Best Practices & Usability: Examples/case studies of solving a specific science challenge with in situ methods/infrastructure. In situ methods/systems applied to data from simulations, and/or observations/experiments. Deployments & software engineering. Software Evolution & Standardization: In situ libraries from research prototypes to production quality. Challenges, opportunities, gaps in existing capabilities. API designs and development of community standards. Enabling Hardware & Emerging Architectures: Hardware & emerging system architectures that provide opportunities for in situ processing. Efficient use of hardware accelerators and heterogeneous architectures, incl. HPC, Data Center or Edge.

CFP: IJPP Special Issue: "High-productivity Programming Systems for HPC Applications" Deadline extended
by Godoy, William 24 Apr '26

24 Apr '26

Deadline extended to August 30, 2026 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers: Special Issue in the International Journal of Parallel Programming - IJPP High-Productivity Programming Systems for HPC Applications ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Journal and Submission Information for Authors: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://link.springer.com/journal/10766/updates/… Aims and Scope In the ever-evolving world of computing, the line between software and hardware has become increasingly larger. As we push the boundaries of what is possible with technology, the need for high-productivity programming solutions that can harness the power of modern hardware has never been more critical. This Special Issue (SI) aims to bring points of discussion into the High-performance Computing (HPC) and scientific community about key issues on finding a compromise between high levels of abstraction (programming productivity) and meeting the challenges of performance, power consumption, and fault tolerance. This SI addresses the recent experiences in programming languages/models design for exa-scale computing systems, which can contribute to the problem of programming complex HPC systems in a productive, efficient, and reliable way. This SI provides a great opportunity for the HPC community to present new approaches for exploiting the massive parallelism that is provided by the abundance of different kinds of parallelism in today’s and future HPC systems. Besides the conventional use for coarse or fine-grain parallelism in applications, our scope is to explore new approaches that enable future software systems to become more self-aware, reasoning about its internal state, and making decisions to prioritize changes in the execution of applications when necessary, putting the focus on areas such as performance tuning and power management.
