While machine reasoning will enable intelligent systems to better understand and interact with their physical world, machine intelligence through modeling, simulation and automation, closes the gap between experiments, extreme computing, and scientific discovery. In order to usher in this new era of autonomous science, advances in several areas of artificial intelligence and other disciplines e.g., high-performance computing, data engineering need to come together. Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds to enable extreme scaling of AI for science. This workshop will address the overarching goal of enabling semi-autonomous and autonomous AI-driven predictive and prescriptive scientific discovery at scale by integrating extreme-scale heterogeneous and reconfigurable computing paradigms, multiscale mathematics, physics-based simulation, data sciences and engineering to address challenges across science, scientific instruments, and security domains e.g., biology, chemistry, and material science. Specific areas of interest include: * Algorithms: Advance extreme-scale Artificial Intelligence through algorithmic development in the areas of probabilistic reasoning, multimodal representation learning, natural language processing, robotics, decision making, combinatorial optimization and human-machine interaction. * Implementation and deployment: Enable scalable Artificial Intelligence through advances in distributed and parallel AI algorithms and tools, heterogeneous and reconfigurable computing platforms and paradigms, Exascale systems, and compilers and system software for extreme-scale AI/ML algorithms. * Applications: Discuss application use cases in science domains of importance including computational biology, molecular chemistry, material science, epidemiology, energy and physics. The workshop seeks short and long papers spanning all areas of scaling AI for science, engineering and security domains including but not limited to: * Parallel and distributed algorithms for machine learning, machine reasoning, and machine intelligence at scale. Specific examples include: probabilistic reasoning, data analytics, knowledge representation learning, multi-modal analysis, natural language processing, robotics, decision making, combinatorial optimization and human-machine interaction * Software tools, compilers and system software to enable AI for machine perception and reasoning at scale. Specific examples include PyTorch (and Glow), TensorFlow (and XLA), CNTK, TVM, and the MLIR framework. * Application case studies in all areas of science and engineering such as biology, chemistry, material science, high energy physics, and climate security .

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.

IMPORTANT DATES (AoE time - Anywhere on Earth) * Abstract Submission: April 8, 2022 * Full Paper Submission: April 14, 2022 * Author Notification: June 14, 2022 VENUE AND ORGANIZATION ICPP 2022 will be held in Bordeaux, France. We are currently aiming to organize the conference as a hybrid event. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES * Please visit this https://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/icpp to make paper submissions. * Paper submissions should not exceed 10 pages (including references) and all submissions must be made electronically through the conference website in PDF format printable on US letter size (8.5" x 11") paper. Please use the ACM format located at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. More specifically, we recommend using \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart} configuration for submissions prepared in LaTex. Changes to the template (e.g., margin, font size) could lead to automatic rejection. Up to two additional pages may be subsequently purchased (if needed) for the camera-ready version. Submissions should represent original research results and must not not already be under review or accepted for publication in another venue. * The review process is double-blind, so submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors. Authors should leave out author names, affiliations, and (any) acknowledgment from the body of their submission. They should also ensure that any references to authors? own related work should be in the third person (e.g., not ?We build on our previous work ?? but rather ?We build on the work of ??). The purpose of this process is to help the Program Committee and external reviewers come to a judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Authors with further questions about double-blind reviewing are encouraged to contact the Program Chairs by email. * The ICPP 2022 technical program includes a reproducibility initiative, where the submitters will be given an option to submit artifacts related to their work. The artifacts will be voluntary, but their presence will be an advantage during the decision process compared to submissions with equivalent ratings without artifacts. We also plan to have rebuttals only for papers that do not have a clear accept or reject decision. * Accepted papers will need to follow the conference registration policy to be included in the conference proceedings. We will offer rejected papers an opportunity to be forwarded to workshop organizers to be considered in one of the workshops if the authors choose to do so. TOPICS * Algorithms Track Judith C.

Clusters remain the primary system architecture for building many of today?s rapidly evolving computing infrastructures and are used to solve some of the most complex problems. The challenges to make them scalable, efficient, productive, and increasingly effective requires a community effort in the areas of cluster system design, advancing the capabilities of the software stack, system management and monitoring, and the design of algorithms, methods, and applications to leverage the overall infrastructure. Following the successes of previous IEEE Cluster conferences, for IEEE Cluster 2022, which will be held September 5 - 8, 2022 in Heidelberg, Germany, we again solicit high-quality original work that advances the state-of-the-art in clusters and closely related fields. All papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed for their originality, technical depth and correctness, potential impact, relevance to the conference, and quality of presentation. Research papers must clearly demonstrate novel research contributions while papers reporting experiences must clearly describe the lessons learned and the resulting impact, along with the utility of the approach in comparison to previous work.

URL: From committee at io500.org Wed Apr 13 12:19:17 2022 From: committee at io500.org (IO500 Committee) Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2022 10:19:17 -0600 Subject: [Storage-research-list] Call for Submissions IO500 ISC 2022 list Message-ID: <4af182f0c22a2af24dce872c0345598b@io500.org> Stabilization Period: Monday, April 4th - Friday, April 15th Submission Deadline: Friday, May 13th, 2022 AoE The IO500 is now accepting and encouraging submissions for the upcoming 10th semi-annual IO500 list, in conjunction with ISC-HPC'22. 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 during "The IO500 and the Virtual Institute of I/O" BoF [1]. We hope to see many new results. What's New With ISC'22, we are proposing a separation of the list into separate Production and Research lists, to better reflect the important distinction between storage systems that run in production environments and those that may use more experimental hardware and software configurations. Since ISC'21, 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 runs 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 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 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 performance 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 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 [2] to join our community, and to attend our BoF "The IO500 and the Virtual Institute of I/O" [1], 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.

The Bench conference has two essential duties: promote data or benchmark-based quantitative approaches to tackle multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary challenges; connect architecture, system, data management, algorithm, and application communities to better co-design for the inherent workload characterizations. The Bench conference provides a high-quality, single-track forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further the knowledge and understanding of the benchmarks, data, standards, measurements, and optimizations community as a whole. It is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary conference. The past meetings attracted researchers and practitioners from the architecture, system, algorithm, and application communities. It includes both invited sessions and contributed sessions. Regularly, the Bench conference will present the BenchCouncil Achievement Award ($3000), the BenchCouncil Rising Star Award ($1000), the BenchCouncil Best Paper Award ($1000), and the BenchCouncil Distinguished Doctoral Dissertation Awards in Computer Architecture ($1000) and in other areas ($1000). This year, the BenchCouncil Distinguished Doctoral Dissertation Award includes two tracks: computer architecture and other areas. Among the submissions of each track, four candidates will be selected as finalists. They will be invited to give a 30-minute presentation at the Bench?22 Conference and contribute research articles to BenchCouncil Transactions on Benchmarks, Standards and Evaluation. Finally, for each track, one among the four will receive the award for each track, which carries a $1,000 honorarium.

Please do forward it to interested colleagues. ] ======================================================================================= Call for papers: PDSW?22 The 7th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop http://www.pdsw.org November 14, 2022 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM (CST) Held in conjunction with SC22, DALLAS, TX In cooperation with: IEEE Computer Society ======================================================================================= We are pleased to announce the 7th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop (PDSW?22). PDSW'22 will be hosted in conjunction with SC22: 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. 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 2021. 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: - Scalable architectures for distributed data storage, archival, and virtualization - The application of new data processing models and algorithms towards scientific 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/compressing/reduction techniques - 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 by the IEEE Computer Society. 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?22, submissions that are accompanied by AD Appendices will be given favorable consideration for the PDSW Best Paper award. PDSW?22 follows the SC22 Reproducibility Initiative. For Artifact Description (AD) Appendices, we will use the format of the SC22 for PDSW'22 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 guidelines of SC22 on how to structure the artifact, as it will make it easier to 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 Submission site: https://submissions.supercomputing.org Work-in-progress (WIP) Submissions -------------------------------------------------- There will be a WIP session where presenters provide brief 5-minute talks (TBD) 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.

Workshop Date: September 6, 2022 ********************************************************************* ================================ Scope, Aims, and Topics ================================ High Performance Computing (HPC) applications are evolving to include not only traditional scale-up modeling and simulation bulk-synchronous workloads but also scale-out workloads like artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics methods, deep learning, big data and complex multi-step workflows. Exascale workflows are projected to include multiple different components from both scale-up and scale-out communities operating together to drive scientific discovery and innovation. With the often conflicting design choices between optimizing for write-intensive vs. read-intensive, having flexible I/O systems will be crucial to support these hybrid workloads. Another performance aspect is the intensifying complexity of parallel file and storage systems in large-scale cluster environments. Storage system designs are advancing beyond the traditional two-tiered file system and archive model by introducing new tiers of temporary, fast storage close to the computing resources with distinctly different performance characteristics. The changing landscape of emerging hybrid HPC workloads along with the ever increasing gap between the compute and storage performance capabilities reinforces the need for an in-depth understanding of extreme-scale I/O and for rethinking existing data storage and management techniques. Traditional approaches of managing data might fail to address the challenges of extreme-scale hybrid workloads. Novel I/O optimization and management techniques integrating machine learning and AI algorithms, such as intelligent load balancing and I/O pattern prediction, are needed to ease the handling of the exponential growth of data as well as the complex hierarchies in the storage and file systems. Furthermore, user-friendly, transparent and innovative approaches are essential to adapt to the needs of different HPC I/O workloads while easing the scientific and commercial code development and efficiently utilizing extreme-scale parallel I/O and storage resources. Established at IEEE Cluster 2021, the Re-envisioning Extreme-Scale I/O for Emerging Hybrid HPC Workloads (REX-IO) workshop has created a forum for experts, researchers, and engineers in the parallel I/O and storage, compute facility operation, and HPC application domains. REX-IO solicits novel work that characterizes I/O behavior and identifies the challenges in scientific data and storage management for emerging HPC workloads, introduces potential solutions to alleviate some of these challenges, and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed solutions to improve I/O performance for the exascale supercomputing era and beyond. We envision that this workshop will contribute to the community and further drive discussions between storage and I/O researchers, HPC application users and the data analytics community to give a better in-depth understanding of the impact on the storage and file systems induced by emerging HPC applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Understanding I/O inefficiencies in emerging workloads such as complex multi-step workflows, in-situ analysis, AI, and data analytics methods - New I/O optimization techniques, including how ML and AI algorithms might be adapted for intelligent load balancing and I/O pattern prediction of complex, hybrid application workloads - Performance benchmarking, resource management, and I/O behavior studies of emerging workloads - New possibilities for the I/O optimization of emerging application workloads and their I/O subsystems - Efficient tools for the monitoring of metadata and storage hardware statistics at runtime, dynamic storage resource management, and I/O load balancing - Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management - Understanding and efficiently utilizing complex storage hierarchies beyond the traditional two-tiered file system and archive model - User-friendly tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and storage nodes - Use of staging areas, such as burst buffers or other private or shared acceleration tiers for managing intermediate data between computation tasks - Application of emerging big data frameworks towards scientific computing and analysis - Alternative data storage models, including object and key-value stores, and scalable software architectures for data storage and archive - Data movement for HPC on edge devices - Position papers on related topics ================================ Submission Guidelines ================================ All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Indicate all authors and affiliations. All papers will be peer-reviewed using a single-blind peer-review process by at least three members of the program committee.

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. 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 interconnect (including high-radix networks, optical interconnects) - 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 - Innovative algorithmic techniques - 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) - Languages and programming models for irregular workloads - Library and runtime support for irregular workloads - Compiler and analysis techniques for irregular workloads - 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 Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. 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 5, 2022 (AoE) Position or Regular Paper Submission: August 11, 2022 (AoE) Notification: September 9, 2022 Camera-ready: October 10, 2022 Workshop: November 18, 2022 ------------------- SUBMISSIONS ------------------- Submission site: https://submissions.supercomputing.org Submitted manuscripts may not exceed eight (8) pages in length for regular papers and four (4) pages for position papers (excluding references).

Grasping the advantages and shortcomings of existing solutions will guide us towards storage systems that are able to fully keep up with future exascale systems. With supercomputers becoming faster every year and recently even reaching the first exascale system, it is necessary that storage technologies are able to keep up such that these systems are fully able to exploit their compute powers when handling I/O-heavy workloads. Many storage systems for HPC, such as parallel and distributed filesystems exist. However, to clearly advance the field of storage system architecture, we need to understand how architectural features of storage systems contribute to the performance of various types of HPC workloads. == Submission == We encourage to announce a prospective contribution by email to me, such that we ensure that every storage system will have an article and no time is wasted - potentially you can team up! We believe this is also well suited for PhD students to share their knowledge about a storage system. More details in [1].

Special issues: Distinguished papers will be selected for special issues Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Journal of Computer and System Science =========== Introduction Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors, scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value (Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity). Cloud computing is positioning itself as an emerging platform for delivering information infrastructures and resources as IT services. Customers (enterprises or individuals) can provision and deploy Cloud services via pay-as-you-go pricing models saving huge capital investments in their own IT infrastructures. As estimated by IDC, about 40% data globally would be touched with Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing provides strong storage, computation and distributed capability in support of Big Data processing.

Please do forward it to interested colleagues. ] ======================================================================================= Call for *WIP* Papers: PDSW?22 The 7th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop http://www.pdsw.org November 14, 2022 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM (CST) Held in conjunction with SC22, DALLAS, TX In cooperation with: IEEE Computer Society ======================================================================================= We are pleased to announce the 7th International Parallel Data Systems Workshop (PDSW?22). PDSW'22 will be hosted in conjunction with SC22: 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. 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 2021. 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: - Scalable architectures for distributed data storage, archival, and virtualization - The application of new data processing models and algorithms toward scientific 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/compressing/reduction techniques - 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 website. The papers will also be published by the IEEE Computer Society. 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?22, submissions that are accompanied by AD Appendices will be given favorable consideration for the PDSW Best Paper award. PDSW?22 follows the SC22 Reproducibility Initiative . For Artifact Description (AD) Appendices, we will use the format of the SC22 for PDSW'22 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 2022 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, and indicate authors and affiliations. Papers must be up to 5 pages, not less than 10-point font, not including references and optional reproducibility appendices. Submission site: https://submissions.supercomputing.org/ Papers must use the IEEE conference paper template available at: 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 (TBD) on their ongoing work, with fresh problems/solutions. WIP content is typically material that may not be mature or complete enough for full paper submission and will not be included in the proceedings. A one-page abstract is required. *Important Dates* ---------------------- Regular Papers and Reproducibility Study Papers: Submissions due: Aug. 20, 2022, 11:59 PM AoE Paper Notification: Sep. 9, 2022 Camera-ready due: Sep. 30, 2022, 11:59 PM AoE Work in Progress (WIP): Submissions due: *Sep. 16, 2022, 11:59PM AoE* WIP Notification: On or before Sep. 23, 2022 Workshop Organizers ------------------------------ General Chair - Kento Sato, RIKEN R-CCS, Japan Program Co-Chairs - Amelie Chi Zhou, Shenzhen University, China - Bing Xie, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA Publicity Chair - Jean Luca Bez, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA Web and Proceedings Chair - Joan Digney, Carnegie Mellon University -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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 during BoF [1]. We hope to see many new results. The github repo has a new tag: io500-sc22 for the version of the benchmark for this list. What's New With ISC'22, we proposed a separation of the list into separate Production and Research lists, to better reflect the important distinction between storage systems that run in production environments and those that may use more experimental hardware and software configurations. We will experimentally explore what this split will look like with the in person BoF attendees and live streamed audience using the SC22 results. Given the results of that discussion we will decide how to proceed with a potential split. 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. For reproducibility and analysis reasons, we now made the easily obtainable fields mandatory - data from storage servers are for users often difficult to obtain, therefore, most remain optional. 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 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 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 performance 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 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 runs compliant with the rules made during the stabilization period will be valid as a final submission unless a significant defect is found. 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 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 [2] to join our community, and to attend our BoF [1], 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.

Jan 15, 2023 (AoE) Notification to the authors: Feb 24, 2023 (AoE) SCOPE AND TOPICS ---------------- Data is the foundation of many important decision-making processes in performance engineering tasks of modern systems. Data can tell us about the past and present of a system?s performance, helping us predict performance or assess the quality of our systems. In ICPE 2023, we will continue to host a data challenge track in its second installment. In this track, we provide a novel performance dataset from open source Java systems collected by Traini et al. and published recently in the Empirical Software Engineering journal. Participants are invited to come up with new research questions about the dataset and study those. The challenge is open-ended: participants can choose the research questions they find most interesting. The proposed approaches and/or tools and their findings are discussed in short papers and presented in the main conference. How to participate in the challenge: - Read the data description - Think of something cool to do with the data. This can be anything you want, including visualization, analysis, approach or tool - Implement your idea, evaluate it, and write down your idea and the results in a short paper For more information, including the submission guidelines, visit: https://icpe2023.spec.org/tracks-and-submissions/data-challenge-track/ Data description ---------------- This year, the challenge dataset is provided by Traini et al., published alongside their recent study ?Towards effective assessment of steady state performance in Java software: Are we there yet?? (https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2209.15369). The dataset (https://github.com/SEALABQualityGroup/icpe-data-challenge-jmh) contains a comprehensive set of performance measurements of 586 microbenchmarks from 30 popular Java open source projects (e.g., RxJava, Log4J2, Apache Hive) spanning various project domains (e.g., application servers, libraries, databases). Microbenchmarks are frequently employed by practitioners to test and ensure the adequate performance of their systems. Microbenchmark measurements help open source maintainers test performance before landing new system features, and identify performance regressions and optimization opportunities. Each benchmark was carefully executed using the Java Microbenchmark Harness (JMH) framework in a controlled environment to reduce measurement noise: results contain, for each benchmark, 3000 measurements batches (JMH iterations) with a minimum execution time of 100ms, repeated in 10 runs. This amounts to more than 9 billion benchmark invocations for the entire dataset, an experiment that lasted ~93 days.

Jan 15, 2023 (AoE) SCOPE AND TOPICS ---------------- The ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) is the leading international forum for presenting and discussing novel ideas, innovations, trends, and experiences in the field of performance engineering. Performance, energy efficiency, and reliability are becoming central to the acceptance and sustainability of modern computing systems. Digitalization brings computing technology closer to people and manages most aspects of their life. In turn, human interaction increasingly shapes the behavior of computing systems. As a result, our systems become more complex and, therefore, more difficult to engineer and understand. We need to be able to manage this complexity so that our systems remain reliable, trustable, and performant. ICPE brings together researchers and practitioners to report on open problems, state-of-the-art solutions, and in-progress research in performance engineering of software and systems - targeting performance and associated quality attributes such as efficiency and reliability in all phases of the computing system lifecycle, from specification and development to run time and maintenance. ICPE deals with performance and associated quality attributes across all application domains. We encourage contributions that help extend the state-of-the-art in particular, but not exclusively, in the following areas: ? Measurement and Empirical Evaluation ? Modeling ? Design and Development Processes ? Managing Systems at Runtime ? Platform-Related Optimizations ? Benchmarking ICPE caters to a wide range of submission types with five distinct submission tracks: ? Research track for regular research papers on the conference topics ? Industry track for contributions connecting to the industry ? Artifact track for sharing software and data artifacts ? Emerging research track for discussing novel topics ? Poster and demo track for short interactive contributions ? Tutorials track for presentations by leading scientists and practitioners ? Workshops track for specific aspects of performance engineering ? Data challenge track for addressing the challenges presented by a performance dataset The conference proceedings are published in ACM Digital Library.

Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/essa-2023/ ================================================= === *Overview* === Advances in storage are becoming increasingly critical because workloads on high performance computing (HPC) and cloud systems are producing and consuming more data than ever before, and the situation promises to only increase in future years. Additionally, the last decades have seen relatively few changes in the structure of parallel file systems, and limited interaction between the evolution of parallel file systems and I/O support systems that take advantage of hierarchical storage layers. However, recently the community has seen a large uptick in innovations in data storage and processing systems as well as in I/O support software for several reasons: ? * Technology: The availability of an increasing number of persistent solid-state storage and persistent storage-class memory technologies that can replace either memory or disk are creating new opportunities for the structure of storage systems. ? * Performance requirements: Disk-based parallel file systems cannot satisfy the performance needs of high-end systems. However, it is not clear how solid-state storage and storage-class memory can best be used to achieve the needed performance, so new approaches for using solid-state storage and storage-class memory in HPC systems are being designed and evaluated. ? * Application evolution: Data analysis applications, including graph analytics and machine learning, are becoming increasingly important both for scientific computing and for commercial computing.? I/O is often a major bottleneck for such applications, both in cloud and HPC environments ? especially when fast turnaround or integration of heavy computation and analysis are required. Consequently, data storage, I/O and processing requirements are evolving, as complex workflows involving computation, analytics and learning emerge. ? * Infrastructure evolution: HPC technology will not only be deployed in dedicated supercomputing centers in the future. "Embedded HPC", "HPC in the box", "HPC in the loop", "HPC in the cloud", "HPC as a service", and "near-to-real-time simulation" are concepts requiring new small-scale deployment environments for HPC. A federation of systems and functions with consistent mechanisms for managing I/O, storage, and data processing across all participating systems will be required to create what is called a "computing continuum". ? * Virtualization and disaggregation: As virtualization and disaggregation become broadly used in cloud and HPC computing, the issue of virtualized storage has increasing importance and efforts will be needed to understand its implications for performance. Our goals in the ESSA Workshop are to bring together expert researchers and developers in data-related areas such as storage, I/O, processing and analytics on extreme scale infrastructures including HPC systems, clouds, edge systems or hybrid combinations of these, to discuss advances and possible solutions to the new challenges we face. We expect the ESSA Workshop to result in lively interactions over a wide range of interesting topics, including: * Extreme-scale storage systems (on high-end HPC infrastructures, clouds, or hybrid combinations of them) * Extreme-scale parallel and distributed storage architectures * The synergy between different storage models (POSIX file system, object storage, key-value, row-oriented, and column-oriented databases) * Structures and interfaces for leveraging persistent solid-state storage and storage-class memory * High-performance I/O libraries and services * I/O performance in extreme-scale systems and applications (HPC/clouds/edge) * Storage and data processing architectures and systems for hybrid HPC/cloud/edge infrastructures, in support of complex workflows potentially combining simulation and analytics * Integrating computation into the memory and storage hierarchy to facilitate in-situ and in-transit data processing * I/O characterization and data processing techniques for application workloads relying on extreme-scale parallel/distributed machine-learning/deep learning * Tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and data intensive components * Data reduction and compression * Failure and recovery of extreme-scale storage systems * Benchmarks and performance tools for extreme-scale I/O * Language and library support for data-centric computing * Storage virtualization and disaggregation * Ephemeral storage media and consistency optimizations * Storage architectures and systems for scalable stream-based processing * Study cases of I/O services and data processing architectures in support of various application domains (bioinformatics, scientific simulations, large observatories, experimental facilities, etc.) === *Submission Guidelines* === The workshop will accept traditional research papers (8-10 pages) for in-depth topics and short papers (4-8 pages) for work in progress on hot topics. Papers should present original research and provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. Paper format: single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references.

The conference brings together experts who work on different levels of the cloud stack ? including systems, storage, networking, platforms, databases, applications, and software engineering. IC2E offers an end-to-end view of the challenges and technologies in Cloud Computing, fosters new research that addresses the interaction between different layers of the stack, and ultimately helps to shape the future of cloud-transformed business and society. IC2E 2023 invites submissions of high-quality research papers describing fully-developed results and ongoing foundational and applied work related to all aspects of cloud engineering. The IC2E Program Committee will interpret "cloud engineering" very broadly ? to include everything from engineering principles to practical experiences, and advances that target different levels of the cloud stack, from both academia and industry. In particular, submissions on topics of emerging interest in the research and development communities are encouraged. Authors can choose to submit their papers under either the Research or Industry Track. Submissions are invited on the following (non-exhaustive list) of topics for both tracks: * Cloud Management and Engineering * Cloud Applications * Cloud Systems * Fog and Edge Computing For a full list of the topics, please visit https://conferences.computer.org/IC2E/2023/. IC2E is looking for the following three types of paper submissions: * Research papers describe original well-evaluated research. Novelty is a key criterion in the review process. * Vision papers describe speculative but well-reasoned and inspiring papers. Here, the insights and clarity of the vision are of key concern. * Industry and experience papers describe how existing research has been transferred into practice. The review focus is on the lessons learned, including those relevant for researchers. Research and vision papers should be submitted to the research track, industry and experience papers to the industry track. Vision papers should have "(Vision Paper)" as a subtitle on the first page. ###SUBMISSION### Both Research Track and Industry Track papers should use the IEEE Manuscript Template for Conference Proceedings for formatting. LaTeX users must use \documentclass[10pt,conference]{IEEEtran}, without including the compsoc or compsocconf options. As reviewers often ask for additional content, IC2E differentiates between paper formatting for reviewing and for the final published version: * Full papers: For reviewing, full papers (including figures and tables) should not exceed 9 double-column pages; references can be additional pages. For the final published version, full papers are limited to a total of 12 double-column pages including everything. * Short papers: For reviewing, short papers are limited to 5 pages, not including references, and should be clearly marked as such in the title. For the final published version, short papers are limited to 8 pages, including everything. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. Depending on the paper type, submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference scope. Submitted manuscripts must contain original contributions, and their contributions must not have appeared in or be under consideration for publication in another workshop, conference or journal. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services (EI indexed). Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version in a special issue of the Springer-Nature "Computer Science" journal. For publication, each accepted paper is required to be registered by one of its authors. At least one author is required to attend and present the paper at the conference for the paper to be included in the final technical program and the IEEE Digital Library. ###IMPORTANT DATES### * Jan. 31, 2023: Submission system opens * Mar. 23, 2023: Abstract submission deadline * Mar. 30, 2023: Paper submission deadline * Jun. 15, 2023: Author notification * Aug. 01, 2023: Camera-ready submission * Sep. 25-29, 2023: Conference (on-site in Boston, MA) ###ORGANIZATION & CONTACT### General Chairs: * Stefan Schulte, Hamburg University of Technology, Germany * Michael Zink, University of Massachusetts, MA, USA Program Committee Chairs: * Guillaume Pierre, Universit? de Rennes, France * Kate Keahey, Argonne National Laboratory, IL, USA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

CHEOPS'23 will be hosted in conjunction with EuroSys'23. The third workshop on "Challenges and Opportunities of Efficient and Performant Storage Systems" (CHEOPS) is aimed at researchers, developers of scientific applications, engineers and everyone interested in the evolution of storage systems. 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. The main objective of this workshop is to discuss state-of-the-art research, innovative ideas and experiences that focus on the design and implementation of storage systems in both academic and industrial worlds. Topics of Interest ------------------------ Submissions may be more hands-on than research papers and we therefore explicitly encourage submissions in the early stages of research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Operating system optimizations - Kernel and user space file/storage systems ? Including virtual file systems - Cloud, parallel and distributed file/storage systems ? Network challenges, such as scalability, QoS and partitionability - Approaches for low-latency and heterogeneous storage systems ? Such as SCM and NVRAM combined with HDDs - Metadata management - Provenance capture and management - Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence ? Storage requirements of ML and AI applications ? Using ML and AI within storage systems (e.g., to replace heuristics) - Hybrid solutions using file systems and databases ? Approaches using query and database interfaces, including key-value stores ? Optimized indexing techniques - Data organizations to support online workflows - Data privacy and data security - Domain-specific data management solutions ? Application I/O characterization - Storage systems modeling and analysis tools - Data reduction techniques ? Lossless and lossy compression, deduplication - UI/UX for storage systems - Related experiences from users: what worked, what didn?t? ? Feedback and empirical evaluation of storage systems Paper Submissions --------------------------- All papers need to be submitted electronically through HotCRP with PDF format through the following link: https://cheops23.hotcrp.com/ . The reviewing process will be double blind with at least 3 reviews for each submission. An online discussion will determine which papers to accept. Only original and novel work not currently under review in other venues will be considered for publication. Submissions can either be full papers (6 pages) or short papers (4 pages). The page count includes the title, text, figures, appendices but excludes the references. The papers must be formatted according to the submission rules of EuroSys. Accepted papers will have to comply with the EuroSys proceedings format. One author of each accepted paper is required to register for the workshop and present the paper. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review journal.
