To improve their efficiency and reduce costs, modern organizations have been shifting their services, with part of their ISs, to the Cloud. More recent developments have shown an inversion towards decentralization and distribution of applications and services in the huge pool of devices and computing facilities available nearer to the customers. This shift is due to the impact of the Internet of Things, which is further increasing the amount of data to be stored and computed. The next generation of Information Systems will further push these trends to create seamless and pervasive systems. Fog Computing, in particular, is the last frontier for ISs, where data and services can be moved in the continuum of resources between the cloud and the edge. In this context, the management of ISs can exploit the diversification of the resources available, but at the same time is getting more and more complex and challenging. The management of next-generation ISs should, therefore, take into consideration the heterogeneity of the cloud/fog infrastructure. Such complex architecture is posing new challenges in the management of modern applications, especially in reference to enhancement of quality of service, security, privacy, and energy efficiency. In particular, security and privacy need to be considered for the amount of sensitive data possibly produced, while energy efficiency is central, due to the high amount of computational nodes involved. Approaches such as blockchains and distributed learning can be exploited to face these emerging challenges, but universally accepted solutions for next-generation ISs are yet to be found. In this workshop, we aim to collect contributions investigating the management of cloud and fog computing in next-generation Information Systems. Topics include but are not limited to: - Modeling, Monitoring, and Managing Cloud and Fog computing solutions - Models, methods, and tools for data management in Cloud and Fog Computing - Energy-awareness and sustainability in Distributed Information Systems - Quality of Service, energy efficiency and security in Fog Computing - Blockchain proposals for IoT and edge devices - Blockchain-based architectures for Fog Computing - Distributed and Federated Learning in heterogeneous Information Systems - Synergy between Distributed Information Systems and the Internet of Things - Security and privacy solutions for next-generation Information Systems. Negis2021 will be co-located in Melbourne with the 33rd International Conference on Advanced Information Systems (CAISE'21, 28 June-2 July 2021). BEST PAPER AWARD ================= The best paper will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems (IJCIS). To be selected the paper must include a validation of the proposed approach. The authors of the paper selected as the best paper will have to provide an extended version for submission to a fast evaluation track.

In fact, the Advanced Course is not a summer school suited only for younger scholars. Rather, a significant proportion of seasoned investigators are regularly present among the attendees, often senior and junior faculty at their own institutions. The balanced audience that we strive to maintain in each Advanced Course greatly contributes to the development of intense cross-disciplinary debates among faculty and participants that typically address the most advanced and emerging areas of each topic. Each faculty member presents lectures and discusses with the participants for one entire day. Such long interaction together with the small, exclusive Course size provides the uncommon opportunity to fully explore the expertise of each faculty, often through one-to-one mentoring. This is unparalleled and priceless. The Certosa di Pontignano provides the perfect setting to a relaxed yet intense learning atmosphere, with the stunning backdrop of the Tuscan landscapes. World-class wines and traditional foods will make the Advanced Course on Data Science and Machine Learning the experience of a lifetime. VENUE: The venue of ACDL 2021 will be The Certosa di Pontignano ? Siena Dr. Lorenzo Pasquinuzzi The Certosa di Pontignano Localit? Pontignano, 5 ? 53019, Castelnuovo Berardenga (Siena) ? Tuscany ?

Over the last few decades, neuroscientists have uncovered many neural correlates of voluntary behaviours and identified several decision stages involving specific neuroanatomy and dynamics (Haggard 2008). While a reward-optimized decision framework lies at the core of most fast decisions it is supported by slower time-course motivational systems that identify long-term needs (e.g. feeding, offspring care; Maslow 1943, Kenrick 2010). In the absence of naturally evolved motivational drives, autonomous general artificial agents will require the design of motivational systems that will pose unique challenges to our understanding of free will while offering creative opportunities. This symposium seeks submissions focusing on extending evolutionary biology and the neuroscience of volition towards the design of internally motivated, freely behaving autonomous artificial agents.

Once again, we are also accepting submissions to the 10 Node Challenge to encourage the submission of small scale results. The new ranked lists will be announced via live-stream at a virtual session. We hope to see many new results. What's New Starting with ISC'21, the IO500 now follows a two-staged approach. First, there will be a two-week stabilization period during which we encourage the community to verify that the benchmark runs properly. During this period the benchmark will be updated based upon feedback from the community. The final benchmark will then be released on Monday, May 1st. We expect that runs compliant with the rules made during the stabilization period are valid as the final submission unless a significant defect is found. We are now creating a more detailed schema to describe the hardware and software of the system under test and provide the first set of tools to ease capturing of this information for inclusion with the submission. Further details will be released on the submission page. Background The benchmark suite is designed to be easy to run and the community has multiple active support channels to help with any questions. Please note that submissions of all sizes are welcome; the site has customizable sorting, so it is possible to submit on a small system and still get a very good per-client score, for example. Additionally, the list is about much more than just the raw rank; all submissions help the community by collecting and publishing a wider corpus of data. More details below. Following the success of the Top500 in collecting and analyzing historical trends in supercomputer technology and evolution, the IO500 was created in 2017, published its first list at SC17, and has grown exponentially since then. The need for such an initiative has long been known within High-Performance Computing; however, defining appropriate benchmarks had long been challenging. Despite this challenge, the community, after long and spirited discussion, finally reached consensus on a suite of benchmarks and a metric for resolving the scores into a single ranking. The multi-fold goals of the benchmark suite are as follows: Maximizing simplicity in running the benchmark suite Encouraging optimization and documentation of tuning parameters for performance Allowing submitters to highlight their "hero run" performance numbers Forcing submitters to simultaneously report performance for challenging IO patterns. Specifically, the benchmark suite includes a hero-run of both IOR and mdtest configured however possible to maximize performance and establish an upper-bound for performance. It also includes an IOR and mdtest run with highly prescribed parameters in an attempt to determine a lower-bound. Finally, it includes a namespace search as this has been determined to be a highly sought-after feature in HPC storage systems that has historically not been well-measured. Submitters are encouraged to share their tuning insights for publication. The goals of the community are also multi-fold: Gather historical data for the sake of analysis and to aid predictions of storage futures Collect tuning information to share valuable performance optimizations across the community Encourage vendors and designers to optimize for workloads beyond "hero runs" Establish bounded expectations for users, procurers, and administrators 10 Node I/O Challenge The 10 Node Challenge is conducted using the regular IO500 benchmark, however, with the rule that exactly 10 client nodes must be used to run the benchmark. You may use any shared storage with, e.g., any number of servers. When submitting for the IO500 list, you can opt-in for "Participate in the 10 compute node challenge only", then we will not include the results into the ranked list. Other 10-node node submissions will be included in the full list and in the ranked list. We will announce the result in a separate derived list and in the full list but not on the ranked IO500 list at io500.org. Birds-of-a-Feather Once again, we encourage you to submit to join our community, and to attend our virtual BoF "The IO500 and the Virtual Institute of I/O" at ISC 2021, (time to be announced), where we will announce the new IO500 and 10 node challenge lists.

PDSW'21 will be hosted in conjunction with SC21: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis. 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. We therefore 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 - 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: - Scalable architectures for data storage, archival, and virtualization - Performance benchmarking, resource management, and workload studies - Programmability of storage systems - Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management - Alternative data storage models, including object stores and key-value stores - Programming models and frameworks for data intensive computing - Techniques for data integrity, availability, reliability, and fault tolerance - Productivity tools for data intensive computing, data mining, and knowledge discovery - Application of emerging big data frameworks towards scientific computing and analysis - Enabling cloud and container-based models for scientific data analysis - Data filtering/compressing/reduction techniques - Tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and data intensive components - Integrating computation into the memory and storage hierarchy to facilitate in-situ and in-transit data processing 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 by the IEEE TCHPC (pending acceptance). 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'21, submissions that are accompanied by AD Appendices will be given favorable consideration for the PDSW Best Paper award. PDSW'21 follows the SC21 Reproducibility Initiative ( [ https://sc21.supercomputing.org/submit/reproducibility-initiative/ | https://sc21.supercomputing.org/submit/reproducibility-initiative/ ] ). For Artifact Description (AD) Appendices, we will use the format of the SC21 for PDSW'21 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'21 Artifact Packaging Guidelines (available at [ http://www.pdsw.org/pdsw21/PDSW21ArtifactPackagingGuidelines.pdf | http://www.pdsw.org/pdsw21/PDSW21ArtifactPackagingGuidelines.pdf ] ) 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 5 pages, not less than 10 point font and not including references and optional reproducibility appendices. Papers must use the IEEE conference paper template available at: [ https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html | https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html ] Work-in-progress (WIP) Submissions -------------------------------------------------- There will be a WIP session where presenters provide brief 5-minute talks on their on-going work, with fresh problems/solutions.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating new services and applications across various domains, including smart electricity grids, intelligent transportation, healthcare, smart homes, and energy management. As a consequence, a complex ecosystem of interconnected applications, services, and physical/virtual devices, with a high degree of heterogeneity, emerges. Such heterogeneity can be addressed by middleware platforms to abstract away the specificities of these devices, promote interoperability among them, and leverage the development of services and applications. In this ecosystem, enabled by middleware, devices share contextual data or receive control commands; services consume, process, and/or provide data; and applications leverage services and devices to fulfil users? needs. TOPICS OF INTEREST The International Workshop on Middleware and Applications for the Internet of Things - M4IoT focuses on two fundamental components in such ecosystems, namely (i) the middleware to compose applications, services, and devices and (ii) the applications built atop such middleware. Central topics of interest include the design, implementation, and operation of these components and how they process data and communicate with each other. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Abstractions and API composition for IoT applications, including middleware concepts enabling end-users to interconnect devices and applications - IoT application development issues, including methodologies, tools, and experience - Services and infrastructure for IoT applications, e.g., cloud-, edge-, fog-, and mobile cloud-based services for IoT, data management (storage and analytics), design and experience of IoT platforms, semantic Web services, and discovery services - Processing paradigms and services - Quality aspects, e.g., security, privacy, Quality of Context, performance, availability, and dependability?? PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION M4IoT 2021 seeks two kinds of paper submissions: - Regular research papers (up to 6 pages) describing original, substantial contributions in research and/or practice - Position papers and experience reports (up to 4 pages) describing emerging results, lessons learned, and open problems from concrete applications or novel ideas and perspectives on research All submissions must be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) and must comply with the ACM 2-column conference format (ACM_SigConf) available at http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. LaTeX users must use the acmart class provided in the template with the conference format enabled at the document preamble and the ACM-Reference-Format bibliography style provided in the template.

Once again Women in HPC, our advocates, allies, supporters, and anyone interested in improving diversity across the HPC community is welcome to join us to discuss the challenges the community faces. Activities will bring together women and male allies from across the international HPC and extended community, provide opportunities to network, showcase the work of inspiring women, and discuss how we can all work towards improving the under-representation of women in supercomputing. Previous Women in HPC workshops at SC have been great successes, with over 150 attendees in the past year, and many submissions from early/mid-career women in the past two years. As part of the workshop, we invite submissions from women to present their research in the HPC, AI, ML domain to the HPC community as a short/lightning talk. This is a great opportunity to interact with leading experts and employers across the HPC community from both academia and industry and discuss your work with them. We encourage women who are in their ?early career? (i.e. pursuing a graduate degree or within five years of graduation) to participate, however this opportunity is open to help everyone who feels they may benefit from presenting their work, irrespective of career stage. Each submission will be reviewed by a committee and authors shall receive 2-4 sets of review comments as feedback along with instructions needed to prepare for the talk and associate materials prior to the workshop. Submissions for the talks are comprised of a two-page submission with preliminary results, in any areas including but not limited to: - High performance computing - Data science - Machine learning/AI - Big data - Languages and runtimes - Algorithms Authors will be expected to give a short lightning talk (5 minutes) at the workshop. Benefit of Participating: - Networking: build your HPC network, meet peers and potential employers - Advice and mentoring: Receive expert advice and mentorship to help prepare for your presentation, including slides, how to structure a lightning talk for effective communication and how to make the most of the networking time afterwards. Submission All submitted abstracts should emphasize the computational aspects of the work, such as the facilities used, the challenges that HPC, ML/AI can help address and any additional research highlights etc. As an author you will have the opportunity to share your work with the workshop audience in a brief ?elevator pitch? talk. Depending on whether the SC workshops are held in person or in a hybrid capacity this year, if accepted, those participants attending in person will have the opportunity to present a short 5-6 minute talk. Those participants attending the workshop virtually will be asked to submit a 5-6 minute video presentation ahead of time, which will be shown during the lightning talk session.

PDSW'21 will be hosted in conjunction with SC21: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis. 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. We therefore 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 - 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: - Scalable architectures for data storage, archival, and virtualization - Performance benchmarking, resource management, and workload studies - Programmability of storage systems - Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management - Alternative data storage models, including object stores and key-value stores - Programming models and frameworks for data intensive computing - Techniques for data integrity, availability, reliability, and fault tolerance - Productivity tools for data intensive computing, data mining, and knowledge discovery - Application of emerging big data frameworks towards scientific computing and analysis - Enabling cloud and container-based models for scientific data analysis - Data filtering/compressing/reduction techniques - Tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and data intensive components - Integrating computation into the memory and storage hierarchy to facilitate in-situ and in-transit data processing Work-in-progress (WIP) Submissions -------------------------------------------------- We have a WIP session where presenters provide short 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 for the submission. Please email your submission as a PDF attachment of the one-page abstract to Kento Sato and Amelie Chi Zhou. Put "PDSW 2021 WIP" as the first part of the message subject. To verify your submission a reply will be made indicating official submission.

Panda, The Ohio State University, USA From committee at io500.org Wed Sep 22 11:34:06 2021 From: committee at io500.org (IO500 Committee) Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2021 09:34:06 -0600 Subject: [Storage-research-list] =?utf-8?q?IO500_SC=E2=80=9921_Call_for_Su?= =?utf-8?q?bmission?= Message-ID: Stabilization period: Friday, 17th September - Friday, 1st October Submission deadline: Monday, 1st November 2021 AoE The IO500 [1] is now accepting and encouraging submissions for the upcoming 9th semi-annual IO500 list, in conjunction with SC'21. Once again, we are also accepting submissions to the 10 Node Challenge to encourage the submission of small-scale results. The new ranked lists will be announced via live-stream at a virtual session during "The IO500 and the Virtual Institute of I/O" BoF [3]. We hope to see many new results. What's New Since ISC21, the IO500 follows a two-staged approach. First, there will be a two-week stabilization period during which we encourage the community to verify that the benchmark runs properly on a variety of storage systems. During this period the benchmark may be updated based upon feedback from the community. The final benchmark will then be released. We expect that submissions compliant with the rules made during the stabilization period will be valid as a final submission unless a significant defect is found. We are now creating a more detailed schema to describe the hardware and software of the system under test and provide the first set of tools to ease capturing of this information for inclusion with the submission. Further details will be released on the submission page [2]. We are evaluating the inclusion of optional test phases for additional key workloads - split easy/hard find phases, 4KB and 1MB random read/write phases, and concurrent metadata operations. This is called an extended run. At the moment, we collect the information to verify that additional phases do not significantly impact the results of the standard IO500 run. We encourage every participant to submit results from both a standard run and an extended run to facilitate comparisons between the existing and new benchmark phases. In a future release, we may include some or all of these results as part of the standard benchmark. The extended results are not currently included in the scoring of any ranked list. Background The benchmark suite is designed to be easy to run and the community has multiple active support channels to help with any questions. Please note that submissions of all sizes are welcome; the site has customizable sorting, so it is possible to submit on a small system and still get a very good per-client score, for example. Additionally, the list is about much more than just the raw rank; all submissions help the community by collecting and publishing a wider corpus of data. More details below. Following the success of the Top500 in collecting and analyzing historical trends in supercomputer technology and evolution, the IO500 was created in 2017, published its first list at SC17, and has grown continually since then. The need for such an initiative has long been known within High-Performance Computing; however, defining appropriate benchmarks has long been challenging. Despite this challenge, the community, after long and spirited discussion, finally reached a consensus on a suite of benchmarks and a metric for resolving the scores into a single ranking. The multi-fold goals of the benchmark suite are as follows: Maximizing simplicity in running the benchmark suite Encouraging optimization and documentation of tuning parameters for performance Allowing submitters to highlight their "hero run" performance numbers Forcing submitters to simultaneously report performance for challenging IO patterns. Specifically, the benchmark suite includes a hero-run of both IOR and MDTest configured, however, possible to maximize performance and establish an upper-bound for performance. It also includes an IOR and MDTest run with highly constrained parameters forcing a difficult usage pattern in an attempt to determine a lower-bound. Finally, it includes a namespace search as this has been determined to be a highly sought-after feature in HPC storage systems that has historically not been well-measured. Submitters are encouraged to share their tuning insights for publication. The goals of the community are also multi-fold: Gather historical data for the sake of analysis and to aid predictions of storage futures Collect tuning data to share valuable performance optimizations across the community Encourage vendors and designers to optimize for workloads beyond "hero runs" Establish bounded expectations for users, procurers, and administrators 10 Node I/O Challenge The 10 Node Challenge is conducted using the regular IO500 benchmark, however, with the rule that exactly 10 client nodes must be used to run the benchmark. You may use any shared storage with any number of servers. When submitting for the IO500 list, you can opt-in for "Participate in the 10 compute node challenge only", then we will not include the results in the ranked list. Other 10-node node submissions will be included in the full list and in the ranked list. We will announce the result in a separate derived list and in the full list but not on the ranked IO500 list [2]. ------------------------------------ Birds-of-a-feather Once again, we encourage you to submit [2], to join our community, and to attend our BoF "The IO500 and the Virtual Institute of I/O" [3], where we will announce the new IO500 and 10 node challenge lists. The current list includes results from twenty different storage system types and 70 institutions. We hope that the upcoming list grows even more. We look forward to answering any questions or concerns you might have.

While inherently parallel, they exhibit highly variable execution performance at a local level due to unpredictable memory access patterns and/or network transfers, divergent control structures, and data imbalances. Moreover, they often require fine-grain synchronization and communication on large-data structures such as graphs, trees, unstructured grids, sparse matrices, deep nets, tables, and their combinations (such as, for example, attributed graphs). They have a significant degree of latent parallelism, which however is difficult to exploit due to their complex behavior. Current high performance architectures rely on data locality and regular computation to reduce access latencies, and often do not cope well with the requirements of these applications. Furthermore, irregular applications are difficult to scale on current supercomputing machines, due to their limits in fine-grained synchronization and small data transfers. Irregular 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. Many of these application areas also process massive sets of unstructured data, which keep growing exponentially. Emerging supercomputing applications are moving towards a convergence of scientific simulation, data analytics, and learning algorithms, mixed in various ways. Addressing the issues of irregular applications on current and future architectures will become critical to solve the challenges in science and data analysis of the next few years. 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, analysis, algorithms. ----------- Program ----------- 9:00 - 9:10 Welcome and Introduction Antonino Tumeo (PNNL), Marco Minutoli (PNNL), Vito Giovanni Castellana (PNNL), John Feo (PNNL) 9:10 - 10:00 Invited Talk 1 - Chair: Marco Minutoli (PNNL) Project 38: Innovative Architectures for High-Performance Computing Systems Dr. Eric Cheng (Laboratory of Physical Sciences, University of Maryland) 10:00 - 10:30 Break 10:30 - 12:30 Paper Session 1 - Chair: Serena Curzel (Politecnico di Milano) Mapping Irregular Computations for Molecular Docking to the SX-Aurora TSUBASA Vector Engine Solis Vasquez, Focht, Koch Greatly Accelerated Scaling of Streaming Problems with A Migrating Thread Architecture Page, Kogge Accelerating unstructured-grid CFD algorithms on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs Stone, Walden, Zubair, Nielson No More Leaky PageRank Sallinen, Ripeanu 12:30 - 14:00 Lunch Break 14:00 - 15:00 Panel - Moderator: Antonino Tumeo (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) Panelists: Andrew Chien (University of Chicago), Oded Green (NVIDIA), Giacomo Pedretti (HPE), Ana Lucia Verbanescu (University of Amsterdam) 15:00 - 15:30 Coffee Break 15:30 - 16:20 Invited Talk 2 - Chair: Vito Giovanni Castellana (PNNL) Implementing Performance Portable Graph Algorithms Using Task-Based Execution Prof. Umit Catalyurek (Georgia Institute of Technology) 16:20 - 17.20 Paper Session 2 - Chair: Reece Neff (North Carolina State University) Sparse Exact Factorization Update Chen, Davis, Lourenco, Moreno-Centeno Towards Scalable Data Processing in Python with CLIPPy Pirkelbauer, Bromberger, Iwabuchi, Pearce 17:20 - 17:30 Closing Remarks Antonino Tumeo (PNNL), Marco Minutoli (PNNL), Vito Giovanni Castellana (PNNL), John Feo (PNNL) ----------- Organizers ----------- Antonino Tumeo (PNNL) Marco Minutoli (PNNL) John Feo (PNNL) Vito Giovanni Castellana (PNNL) From thomas.lambert at inria.fr Fri Nov 5 18:18:23 2021 From: thomas.lambert at inria.fr (Thomas Lambert) Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 23:18:23 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Storage-research-list] (CALL FOR PARTICIPATION) PDSW@SC21 - November 15, 2021 Message-ID: <1811276243.4283435.1636150703957.JavaMail.zimbra@inria.fr> CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - PDSW 2021 =============================================================== The 6th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop [ http://www.pdsw.org/%20 | http://www.pdsw.org/ ] Monday, 15 November 2021 9:00am - 4:55pm CST Held in conjunction with SC21: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, In cooperation with IEEE TCHPC. =============================================================== ### WORKSHOP ABSTRACT ### The 6th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop (PDSW?21). PDSW'21 will be hosted in conjunction with SC21: The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis. 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. ### PROGRAM ### 9:00am ? 9:10am Welcome & Introduction == Session 1 == 9:10am ? 10:00am Invited Speaker - Marcos K.

Contact: hotcloudperf2022[at]easychair.org IMPORTANT DATES (Anywhere on Earth) January 15, 2022 Abstract due (informative) January 20, 2022 Papers due February 25, 2022 Author Notification April 9 or 10, 2022 Workshop Day WORKSHOP THEME AND BACKGROUND Cloud computing is emerging as one of the most profound changes in the way we build and use IT. The use of global services in public clouds is increasing, and the lucrative and rapidly growing global cloud market already supports over 1 million IT-related jobs. The new understanding of cloud computing covers the full computational continuum from data centers to edge resources to IoT sensors and devices. However, it is currently challenging to make the IT services offered by public and private clouds performant (in an extended sense) and efficient. Emerging architectures, techniques, and real-world systems include hybrid deployment, serverless operation, everything as a service, complex workflows, auto-scaling and -tiering, etc. It is unclear to what extent traditional performance engineering, software engineering, and system design and analysis tools can help with understanding and engineering these emerging technologies. The community also needs practical tools and powerful methods to address hot topics in cloud computing performance. Responding to this need, the HotCloudPerf workshop proposes a meeting venue for academics and practitioners, from experts to trainees, in the field of cloud computing performance. The workshop aims to engage this community and to lead to the development of new methodological aspects for gaining a deeper understanding not only of cloud performance, but also of cloud operation and behavior, through diverse quantitative evaluation tools, including benchmarks, metrics, and workload generators. The workshop focuses on novel cloud properties such as elasticity, performance isolation, dependability, and other non-functional system properties, in addition to classical performance-related metrics such as response time, throughput, scalability, and efficiency. The HotCloudPerf workshop is technically sponsored by the Standard Performance valuation Corporation (SPEC)?s Research Group (RG) and is organized annually by the RG Cloud Group. HotCloudPerf has emerged from the series of yearly meetings organized by the RG Cloud Group, since 2013. The RG Cloud Group group is taking a broad approach, relevant for both academia and industry, to cloud benchmarking, quantitative evaluation, and experimental analysis. HotCloudPerf 2022 will be fully virtual. Our experience with a virtual HotCloudperf in 2020 and 2021 was excellent and the participants rated the experience and format very highly. For more information, please contact us at: hotcloudperf2022 at easychair.org WORKSHOP SCOPE AND TOPICS 1. Methodological and practical aspects of software engineering, performance engineering, and computer systems related to hot topics in cloud performance. 2. Empirical performance studies in cloud computing environments and systems, including observation, measurement, and surveys. 3. Performance analysis using modeling, simulation, and queueing theory for cloud environments, applications, and systems. 4. Tuning and auto-tuning of systems operating in cloud environments, e.g., auto-tiering of data or optimized resource deployment. 5. Software patterns and architectures for engineering cloud performance, e.g., serverless. 6. End-to-end performance engineering for pipelines and workflows in cloud environments, or of applications with non-trivial SLAs. 7. Tools for monitoring and studying cloud computing performance. 8. General and specific methods and methodologies for understanding and engineering cloud performance. 9. Serverless computing platforms and microservices in cloud datacenters. 10. Case studies on cloud performance and its interaction with the computational continuum ARTICLE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We solicit the following types of contributions: * Talk only: Extended abstract limited to 1-2 pages (without formatting restrictions) * Full paper limited to 8 pages including references (double column, ACM conference format) * Short paper limited to 4 pages including References (double column, ACM conference format) Contributions in the 1st category (as Talk only) may have already been (partially) presented at other events or in publications and are not included in the conference proceedings.

As the developments of computing power, storage and network technologies continue to diverge, the bandwidth performance gap between them widens. This trend, combined with the ever growing data volumes and data-driven computing such as machine learning, results in I/O and storage limitations, impacting the scalability and efficiency of current and future computing systems. Some of these challenges are quantitative, such as scale to match exascale system requirements, or latency reduction of the software stack to efficiently integrate new generations of hardware like storage class memory (SCM). Some other issues are more subtle and arise with the increased complexity of the storage solutions, like new smarter and more potent data management tools, monitoring systems or interoperability between I/O components or data formats.
