AI and Deep Learning (DL) workloads are a major trend in the industry and these domain are specifically limited by I/O bottleneck. This is why during this edition we propose contributors to specifically target I/O analysis and optimization for the AI related workload.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>WOPSSS intends to encourage discussion of these issues through submissions of researchers or practitioners from both academic and industrial worlds.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The workshop is held in conjunction with the ISC-HPC during the ISC workshop day.
