HPCMASPA2022 encourages exploration and discussion of forward-looking work to drive future directions in HPC Monitoring and Analysis. HPC has entered a new era with:

• Architectural diversity increases
• Complex workflows that may include simulation for model training followed by ML driven parameter exploration
• Integration of HPC analytics and storage into run time data feeds from instruments
• Applications and programming models expanding far beyond the traditional MPI models.

At the same time, advances in ML/AI and computing power have the potential to enable long dreamed-of advances in run time analytics and automated responses for improved, dynamic resource management. HPCMASPA2022 invites all paper submissions that cover these topics.

Submission Guidelines

Paper Categories:

#1) (Short/WIP) Position papers, grounded in evidence, to drive future directions in HPC Monitoring and Analysis

Ideas include, but are not limited to:

• New architectural designs, such as greater integration with system software and applications
• New analytic methods, including how existing ML/AI algorithms might be adapted to apply to HPC monitoring data characteristics
• New opportunities for monitoring and analysis due to new considerations in computing such as: workflows, instrument integrations, heterogeneous systems, and integration of Cloud and HPC
• New possibilities for run time feedback, dynamic resource management, and other responses, including considerations of confidence in decision support

Position papers will require content addressing specific drivers from experience and realistic considerations. Review criteria will include soundness of principles, new insights presented, and potential for transformative directions.

#2) (Either Full or Short/WIP) Technical Papers

Areas include, but are not limited to:

• Data collection, transport, and storage
• Analysis of large-scale data and system information
• Response to and utilization of analysis results and insights
• Experience reports and system operations

Review criteria for technical papers will include technical soundness, significance and potential of work/results, and originality of work.
