Many real-world analytic workloads combine graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop?s scope is broad and encompasses the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows. This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. In particular, we are interested, but not limited to the following topics: * Provide tractability and performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows; * Investigate novel solutions for accelerating graph learning-based methods using methodologies such as graph neural networks and knowledge graphs; * Discuss graph programming models and associated frameworks such as GraphBLAS, Galois, Pregel, the Boost Graph Library, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs; * Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms; * Discuss the convergence of graph analytics, frameworks, and graph databases; * Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning; * Discuss the problem domains and applications of graph methods, machine learning methods, or both. Besides regular papers, short papers (up to four pages) describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.

In any case, all computing systems have some form of hardware or software heterogeneity that must be managed, leveraged, understood, and exploited. The Heterogeneity in Computing Workshop (HCW) is a venue to discuss and innovate in all theoretical and practical aspects of heterogeneous computing: design, programmability, efficient utilization, algorithms, modeling, applications, etc. HCW 2025 will be the thirty-fourth annual gathering of this workshop. HCW 2025 will be held in conjunction with the 39th IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (ipdps.org). IEEE IPDPS 2025 is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society through the Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP). **** Topics **** Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas: - Heterogeneous multicore systems and architectures: Design, exploration, and experimental analysis of heterogeneous computing systems such as Graphics Processing Units, heterogeneous systems-on-chip, Artificial Intelligence chips, Field Programmable Gate Arrays, big.LITTLE, and application-specific architectures. - Heterogeneous parallel and distributed systems: Design and analysis of computing grids, cloud systems, hybrid clusters, datacenters, geo-distributed computing systems, and supercomputers. - Deep memory hierarchies: Design and analysis of memory hierarchies with SRAM, DRAM, Flash/SSD, and HDD technologies; NUMA architectures; cache coherence strategies; novel memory systems such as phase-change RAM, magnetic (e.g., STT) RAM, 3D Xpoint/crossbars, and memristors. - On-chip, off-chip, and heterogeneous network architectures: Network-on-chip (NoC) architectures and protocols for heterogeneous multicore applications; energy, latency, reliability, and security optimizations for NoCs; off-chip (chip-to-chip) network architectures and optimizations; heterogeneous networks (combination of NoC and off-chip) design, evaluation, and optimizations; large-scale parallel and distributed heterogeneous network design, evaluation, and optimizations. - Programming models and tools: Programming paradigms and tools for heterogeneous systems; middleware and runtime systems; performance-abstraction tradeoff; interoperability of heterogeneous software environments; workflows; dataflows. - Resource management and algorithms for heterogeneous systems: Parallel algorithms for solving problems on heterogeneous systems (e.g., multicores, hybrid clusters, grids, or clouds); strategies for scheduling and allocation on heterogeneous 2D and 3D multicore architectures; static and dynamic scheduling and resource management for large-scale and parallel heterogeneous systems. - Modeling, characterization, and optimizations: Performance models and their use in the design of parallel and distributed algorithms for heterogeneous platforms; characterizations and optimizations for improving the time to solve a problem (e.g., throughput, latency, runtime); modeling and optimizing electricity consumption (e.g., power, energy); modeling for failure management (e.g., fault tolerance, recovery, reliability); modeling for security in heterogeneous platforms. - Applications on heterogeneous systems: Case studies; confluence of Big Data systems and heterogeneous systems; data-intensive computing; scientific computing. This year we wish to focus on and expand submissions and presentations in the following "hot topics" areas; therefore, we especially invite submissions in the following four areas: - Heterogeneous Integration of Quantum Computing: Design, exploration, and analysis of architectures and software frameworks enabling heterogeneous integration of classical computing and quantum computing (e.g., heterogeneous quantum computers, error correction, heterogeneous applications that use both classical and quantum logic, benchmarks for heterogeneous quantum computers). - Heterogeneity and Interoperability in Software & Data Systems: Design, exploration, and analysis of architectures and software frameworks for interoperability in software and data systems (e.g., semantic frameworks, interoperability for heterogeneous Internet-of-Things systems, model-driven frameworks). - Heterogeneous Computing for Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL): Design, exploration, benchmarking, and analysis of accelerators and software frameworks for ML and DL applications on heterogeneous computing systems. - Closing the loop on the design of heterogeneous compilers, runtimes, and hardware: As the needs of heterogeneous hardware apply pressure on runtime designers to adjust for the complexities of heterogeneous resource management, runtimes are now applying pressure back towards compiler designers to include all relevant information -- such as data flow and dependency analysis or hardware-specific representations of application tasks -- in their binaries to enable resource management policies to arbitrate effectively. Advancements in machine understanding of code are critical in enabling progress here with a holistic view of compilers, runtimes and heterogeneous hardware. **** Important Dates **** - Abstract submission (required): January 23, 2025 - Paper submission: January 30, 2025 - Author notification: February 20, 2025 - Camera-ready submission: March 6, 2025 **** Paper Submissions **** Manuscripts submitted to HCW 2025 should not have been previously published or be under review for a different workshop, conference, or journal. Submissions must use the latest IEEE manuscript templates for conference proceedings (http://ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Submissions may not exceed a total of ten single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages. The page limit includes figures, tables, and references. A single-blind review process will be followed. Files should be submitted by following the instructions at the IPDPS 2025 submission site (http://ssl.linklings.net/conferences/ipdps). New this year, we plan to recognize an outstanding HCW 2025 publication with a Best Paper Award.

Chania ?? Crete, Grece ?? In-person event ?? Workshop: https://www.ieee-csr.org/sdgcp/ Submission portal: https://www.ieee-csr.org/registration/ Synthetic datasets that reflect the statistical properties of authentic data allow to share research insights and findings without compromising privacy or proprietary interests. This approach not only promotes transparency and reproducibility in research but also encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the main areas utilizing generated synthetic data. Privacy issues arise once the dataset contains sensitive features playing a role in training AI systems. Because data collection is expensive and time-consuming, given some shortcomings such as low volume of data, non-compliance with regulations, and bias, we not only may achieve biased and low-performance models but also violate privacy principles. Synthetic data generation can facilitate analysis, the need for data augmentation, or prevent data breaches in highly sensitive domains, rather than weak anonymization approaches. Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Variational Autoencoders (VAE), and Agent-based modeling (ABM) are among the most common synthetic data generation algorithms. However, it is critical to recognize the limitations of synthetic data generation, particularly in capturing the intricacies and interdependencies present in real-world systems. While synthetic datasets can mimic statistical distributions and patterns, they may struggle to replicate the nuanced relationships and contextual nuances inherent in complex phenomena.

The storage and file systems deployed within a data center must meet users' requirements for data integrity and high performance across heterogeneous and concurrently running applications. With the emergence of new storage technologies and layers in the memory hierarchy, the complexity of data management is increasing. To effectively manage the data load within a data center, I/O experts must understand how users expect to utilize these new storage technologies and what services they should provide to enhance user productivity. This workshop brings together I/O experts from data centers and application workflows to share current practices, issues, and obstacles for both hardware and software stacks, as well as R&D efforts to overcome these challenges. We aim to provide a systems-level perspective on these discussions. The workshop content is built on the following tracks: 1) talks by I/O experts ? Share your experiences and solutions for data center workloads. 2) research paper track ? Submit original research papers on state-of-the-practice and research related to I/O in the data center. 3) student mentoring sessions - Students are encouraged to submit abstracts and receive constructive feedback from the community to advance their research. All contributions are peer-reviewed and require submission through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpciodc25 == Track: Talks by I/O experts == We invite submissions on the following topics, among others: * Operational aspects of data centers, such as infrastructure, management, and best practices * Successful solutions for specific data center workloads in production, including case studies and lessons learned We also welcome industry talks that focus on operational issues, challenges, and experiences. Please note that marketing-oriented presentations will not be considered. We are interested in hearing about real-world problems, solutions, and insights that can benefit the community. If you are interested in participating, please submit a brief abstract (max 1/2 page) outlining your talk, along with a short bio. This will help us understand the content and relevance of your presentation. Abstract Deadlines: * Submission deadline: 2025-04-12 AoE * Author notification: 2025-04-31 == Track: research papers == Research papers will be published in the open-access Journal of High-Performance Storage (https://jhps.vi4io.org/). The research track accepts papers covering state-of-the-practice and research dedicated to storage in the data center. We invite submissions of original research papers that cover state-of-the-practice and innovative research in data center storage. Papers should not exceed 12 pages in length (excluding references). The presentation time for accepted papers will be determined based on the paper's novelty, controversiality, and relevance, as well as author preference and reviewer feedback. While all accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings, we prioritize discussions on cutting-edge and thought-provoking topics to maximize the workshop's impact and engagement. === Topics === The relevant topics for papers cover all aspects of data center I/O including: * Application workflows * User productivity and costs * Performance monitoring * Dealing with heterogeneous storage * Data management aspects * Archiving and long-term data management * State-of-the-practice (e.g., using or optimizing a storage system for data center workloads) * Research that tackles data center I/O challenges * Cloud/Edge storage aspects === Paper Deadlines === * Submission deadline: 2025-04-03 AoE * Author notification: 2025-04-31 * Workshop: 2025-06-13 == Student Mentoring Sessions == To support the development of the next generation of data-related practitioners and researchers, we invite students to submit abstracts aligned with the workshop topics. This is a unique opportunity for students to receive feedback and guidance from experienced professionals in the field. Selected students will be given a 10-minute presentation slot to share their research, followed by a 10 minute discussion with the workshop attendees. This interactive session will focus on providing constructive feedback and exploring ways to advance the student's research, including potential impact, alternative research directions, and future collaboration opportunities. To help students further develop their research and publication skills, we encourage them to work with a designated mentor (shepherd) to prepare a paper for submission to the Journal of High-Performance Storage (JHPS) based on the feedback received during the workshop. This guided process will provide students with valuable experience in writing and publishing research papers, and help them establish connections with established researchers in the field. == Organizers == * Julian Kunkel (Georg-August-Universit?t G?ttingen/GWDG) * Jay Lofstead (Sandia National Laboratories) * Jean-Thomas Acquaviva (DDN) -- Prof. Dr. Julian Kunkel Leiter Arbeitsgruppe "Computing" Stellvertretender Leiter GWDG - Bereich High-Performance Computing Tel.: +49 551/39-30144, E-Mail: julian.kunkel at gwdg.de University research group High-Performance Storage https://hps.vi4io.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gesellschaft f?r wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH G?ttingen (GWDG) Burckhardtweg 4, 37077 G?ttingen, URL: https://gwdg.de Support: Tel.: +49 551 39-30000, URL: https://gwdg.de/support Sekretariat: Tel.: +49 551 39-30001, E-Mail: gwdg at gwdg.de Gesch?ftsf?hrer: Prof. Dr. Ramin Yahyapour Aufsichtsratsvorsitzende*r: Dr. Val?rie Sch?ller Sitz der Gesellschaft: G?ttingen Registergericht: G?ttingen, Handelsregister-Nr.

Luton. (Near London) UK. August 18-20, 2025 (www.socio.org.uk/ddp) (IEEE approval pending) As technology advances in different sub-domains of computing, data-driven models are becoming increasingly important. The data-dependent world now faces many challenges in terms of data accuracy and data privacy. High-impact advancements include machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning and many more. Data is growing exponentially in terms of diversity and complexity. One organization or industry processes over a few million transactions per hour and stores hundreds of billions of data. We live in a world with a great need for more efficient data analysis and processing. Data analytics can reveal hidden patterns, complex relationships, internal information relations, and even segmentation. Data applications have opened up new possibilities in every aspect of our lives. Studying data and its structure, dynamics, and modern data technologies is ongoing. There is a great deal of literature and research on data management, but it does not address the data processing needs. Many studies focus on developing models and systems for analysing large datasets. Data analysis leads to application domains that have a systematic impact on decisions. The knowledge gained from the data analysis enables the generation of critical information for multiple domains. In this conference, we review and discuss the latest trends in data management, the opportunities and challenges, and how they have affected organizations' ability to develop effective business and technology strategies and stay up-to-date in data technology. We also highlight current open research directions in data analytics that need further attention. The proposed conference will discuss topics not limited to Data applications in various domains and activities Data in cloud Real-world data processing Data inaccuracy and reliability issues Data Ecosystem Business Analytics New data analytics techniques Physical and management challenges Synthetic data Data synthesis Crowdsourcing and Sensing Data modelling Deep learning techniques Data fusion Descriptive analytics, Diagnostic analytics, Predictive Analytics, and Prescriptive analytics Machine learning impact on data processing Network optimization Data in Biomedical Engineering Data in Materials science and mechanics Data handling and applications in domains Wireless Networking Data Management Data of Electronic & Embedded Systems Multi-media Systems Data Artificial Intelligence Models and Systems Data E-Computing Data Renewable Energies Data General Chair General Chair Ezendu Ariwa Warwick University, UK Program Chairs Youshan Zhang, Yeshiva University, USA Simon Fong, University of Macau, Macau Duong Van Hieu, Tien Giang University, Vietnam Program Co-chairs Martin Lopez Nores, University of Vigo, Spain Frankie Wilson, University of Oxford.

Marrakech, Morocco Visit [ https://edge4future.github.io/index | Edge4Future ] Website [ https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=33806 | Submit ] Paper SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP Edge4Future aims to be an international forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience between researchers and industrials working on the development of solutions linked to Edge Computing, which today occupies an important place in future communications networks. Edge Computing, an umbrella term including in our workshop context Multi Access Edge Computing (MEC), Fog Computing and Cloudlet Computing, now seems essential for future communication architectures. It will enable the development of new applications with significant constraints in terms of latency, computing capacity, bandwidth and energy. These include intelligent transportation, autonomous fleets (terrestrial, maritime or flying), smart energy management and pervasive environment for people or advanced BroadBand Mobile services (Augmented/Virtual/Mixed Reality). In a context of highly evolving telecoms networks, due to the multiplication of radio access technologies (terrestrial - cellular, LPWAN, WiFi, etc. - and non-terrestrial - satellite) and the increasing computing capacity of terminals, the deployment potential of this technology is very high today. As a consequence, a complex ecosystem of interconnected applications, services, and physical/virtual devices, with a high degree of heterogeneity, emerges. This heterogeneity must be addressed by novel solutions able to understand the specificity of these environments, closest as possible to the users while displaying flexibility to the adaptation required by the dynamic character of the edge of the network. TOPICS OF INTEREST Edge4Future'25 focuses on the Mobile Edge paradigm and target the various research domains spanning from the end-device to the edge servers, through the gateways linking them both. 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: * Edge Resource Management and Optimization * Efficient resource management at the Edge (communication, storage, computation, energy, etc); * Service placement strategies for constrained end-devices (low-power, limited bandwidth, and high churn environments); * Task offloading and scheduling for Edge Computing (real-time and energy-efficient considerations). * Architectures and Infrastructure for Edge Computing * New Edge Computing architectures ( edge on satellite, multi-tier edge, etc.); * Federated/distributed approaches for multi edge collaboration and interoperability (Edge/fog/cloud); * Real-world experimentation of Edge Computing Use Cases (Mobile BroadBand Services, URLLC services, etc.). * AI and Intelligent Edge Systems * AI-based decision-making and orchestration at the edge; * Context-aware and cognitive services for adaptive edge computing applications; * Federated learning and distributed AI models ensuring privacy and efficiency in edge environments; * Game-theoretic and multi-agent approaches for decentralized edge computing optimization. * Innovative security solutions for Edge Computing * Cross-layer security approaches ( physical and network layers); * Secure and privacy-preserving architectures for edge computing (hardware and software); * Trust management, authentication, and access control mechanisms for edge devices and services; * AI-based security solutions for real-time threat detection and mitigation at the edge. * Edge Computing Applications and Experimentation * Cognitive and Context-Aware services for various edge applications; * Real-world deployment and performance evaluation of edge computing solutions; * Benchmarking, performance evaluation, and analysis of real-world datasets in edge systems. Edge4Future encourages the submission of original works describing research results, practical or industrial edge systems/solutions/frameworks. Papers describing advanced prototypes, platforms, techniques and general surveys for discussing future perspectives and directions are also encouraged. Registered and Presented papers will be published by IEEE Xplore.

Workshop Date: September 2, 2025 (https://sites.google.com/view/rexio/) ********************************************************************* ================================ Scope, Aims, and Topics ================================ High Performance Computing (HPC) applications are evolving to include not only traditional modeling and simulation bulk-synchronous scale-up workloads but also scale-out workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics methods, deep learning, and complex multi-step workflows. With the advent of Exascale systems such as Frontier, workflows 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- vs. read-intensive, having flexible I/O systems is crucial to support 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 and modeling, 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 monitoring tools for 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 - Position papers on related topics ================================ Submission Guidelines ================================ All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

We are also accepting submissions to both the Production and Research 10 Client Node Challenges to encourage the submission of small scale results. View the requirements for submitting to each list on the IO500 Webpage. The new ranked lists will be announced at the BoF [1]. We look forward to seeing many new results! Background 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 benchmarks represent community accepted standards, including being used in Request for Proposals for new HPC platforms. The benchmarks showcase the IO access pattern extremes giving a full picture of storage system potential performance. 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. The multi-fold goals of the benchmark suite are as follows: Represent naive and optimized access patterns for the execution of a rich variety of HPC applications, their achievable performance and the documentation of how the numbers are achieved. Support small to extreme-scale Research and Production HPC systems using flexible storage APIs Maximizing simplicity in running the benchmark suite while offering tunable parameters 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 runs 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. Supported Storage APIs are those that are part of IOR and mdtest. Extending these tools with a public pull request can be done to enable new storage APIs. 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 Understand and be able to reproduce performance on storage systems Using the IO500 Reproducibility guidelines, each submission is labeled according to the breadth of details provided and the access to the deployed storage software that enables the community to reproduce the results and study system design changes over time. Benchmark Changes This year, we have added a 4KiB random read test phase at the end of the benchmark suite. By default, this phase will also run, but will not be included in the score nor affect if the score is valid or not. If this causes problems, it is possible to turn this off in the configuration file. Entries without this result will not be penalized. We will have the traditional two-week stabilization period. Unless a serious flaw is discovered, results submitted during stabilization will be considered for this event. The detailed information about the new phase can be read here: 4KiB Random Read [3] 10 Client Node I/O Challenge The 10 Client 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. We will announce the results in the Production and Research lists as well as in separate derived lists. Birds-of-a-Feather We encourage you to submit [2] to join our community, and to attend the ISC'25 BoF [1] on Tuesday, Nov 19, 2024 at 12:15pm - 1:15pm EST, where we will announce the new IO500 Production and Research lists and their 10 Client Node counterparts. Be Part of the Community Submissions of all sizes are welcome; the webpage has customizable sorting, so it is possible to submit on a small system and still get a very good per-client score, for example. We will also highlight new and interesting results with invited talk(s) at the BoF.

Novel memory types, interfaces, and capabilities are challenging long-held assumptions underlying both hard- and software. Instead of just the traditional volatile, passive, and largely homogeneous DDR DRAM, future systems will increasingly include integrated HBM, disaggregated far memory, and perhaps NVM. ?In-memory? and ?near-memory? processing promise low-power parallel processing that will scale with the amount of active data. New memory interconnects such as UALink and CXL will enable heterogeneous pooling and sharing of memory first at rack level and eventually at global fabric level. Beyond lower energy consumption and higher processing power, these memory innovations also promise to disrupt with lower cost, higher capacity, or higher reliability. The Workshop on Disruptive Memory Systems?(DIMES) is intended to be a platform to discuss new architectures, abstractions, and interfaces for system software to enable and exploit these new memory technologies in future software. The scope of DIMES?covers system software for all computing domains: embedded, mobile, desktop/laptop, edge, cloud, and HPC systems. ==== Topics of Interest ==== DIMES?focuses on the system software aspects for disruptive memory technologies. Suggested topics for submissions include all aspects of system software that are affected by emerging memory technologies like - disaggregated memory - in-/near-memory computing - high-bandwidth memory - cache-coherent device memory in embedded, mobile, desktop/laptop, edge, cloud, and HPC systems, and related domains. The topics include, but are not limited to: - operating system concepts - application interfaces - programming models - energy-aware computing - distributed computing - resource placement and allocation - combined use of different emerging memories We encourage authors to submit papers on concepts, early-stage work, and demos of prototype systems. ==== Submissions ==== The workshop allows two types of submissions: papers & demos. Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. All paper submissions should be written in English and follow the two-column ACM SIGPLAN article style (https://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/, e.g. acmart LaTeX style with options sigplan,anonymous,10pt). The CCS Concepts, Keywords, and ACM Reference Format sections are not required in submissions. Papers must not exceed the length of six (6) printed pages plus references using a 10-point font. All demo submissions come in form of an extended abstract with a maximum length of two (2) printed pages plus references with the same format as paper submissions. In addition to giving a live demo at the workshop, demo presenters are required to produce a video. We also encourage the paper authors to optionally present a demo. This does not require a separate submission of an extended abstract but is covered by the paper submission. Papers and demo abstracts must be submitted in PDF format via the workshop website. They will be reviewed by the program committee and evaluated based on technical quality, originality, relevance, and presentation. Submissions are double-blind, please make sure that your submissions are properly anonymized. Accepted submissions will be published in the ACM Digital Library. The authors of accepted submissions will be required to sign ACM copyright release forms.

PDSW'25 builds upon the rich legacy of its predecessor workshops, the Petascale Data Storage Workshop (PDSW, 2006?2015) and the Data Intensive Scalable Computing Systems (DISCS, 2012?2015) workshop. The increasing importance of efficient data storage and management continues to drive scientific productivity across traditional simulation-based HPC environments and emerging Cloud, AI/ML, and Big Data analysis frameworks. Challenges are compounded by the rapidly expanding volumes of experimental and observational data, the growing disparity between computational and storage hardware performance, and the rise of novel data-driven algorithms in machine learning. This workshop aims to advance research and development by addressing the most pressing challenges in large-scale data storage and processing. We invite the community to contribute original research manuscripts that introduce and evaluate novel algorithms or architectures, share significant scientific case studies or workloads, or assess the reproducibility of previously published work. We emphasize the importance of community collaboration for problem identification, workload capture, solution interoperability, standardization, and shared tools. Authors are encouraged to provide comprehensive experimental environment details (software versions, benchmark configurations, etc.) to promote transparency and facilitate collaborative progress. ----------------------------- Topics of Interest ----------------------------- - Scalable Architectures: Distributed data storage, archival, and virtualization. ? - New Data Processing Models and Algorithms: Application of innovative data processing models and algorithms for parallel computing and analysis. ? - Performance Analysis: Benchmarking, resource management, and workload studies. ? - Cloud and Container-Based Models: Enabling cloud and container-based frameworks for large-scale data analysis. ? - Storage Technologies: Adaptation to emerging hardware and computing models. ? - Data Integrity: Techniques to ensure data integrity, availability, reliability, and fault tolerance. ? - Programming Models and Frameworks: Big data solutions for data-intensive computing. ? - Hybrid Cloud Data Processing: Integration of hybrid cloud and on-premise data processing. ? - Cloud-Specific Opportunities: Data storage and transit opportunities specific to cloud computing. ? - Storage System Programmability: Enhancing programmability in storage systems. ? - Data Reduction Techniques: Filtering, compression, and reduction techniques for large-scale data. ? - File and Metadata Management: Parallel file systems, metadata management at scale. ? - In-Situ and In-Transit Processing: Integrating computation into the memory and storage hierarchy for in-situ and in-transit data processing. ? - Alternative Storage Models: Object stores, key-value stores, and other data storage models. ? - Productivity Tools: Tools for data-intensive computing, data mining, and knowledge discovery. ? - Data Movement: Managing data movement between compute and data-intensive components. ? - Cross-Cloud Data Management: Efficient data management across different cloud environments. ? - AI-enhanced Systems: Storage system optimization and data analytics using machine learning. ? - New Memory and Storage Systems: Innovative techniques and performance evaluation for new memory and storage systems.
