Event Description

IXPUG Annual Conference 2023 is a two-day gathering of HPC and AI experts featuring keynotes, tech talks, lightning talks, site updates, and more. The event welcomes software developers, scientists, researchers, academics, systems analysts, students, and end-users who want to share with and learn from our vibrant, global community via technical discussion and networking. With growing convergence of HPC and AI, challenges surrounding application performance and scalability will be covered across all levels, including tuning and optimization of diverse sets of applications on HPC systems. Topics are wide-ranging, including system hardware beyond the processor (memory, interconnects, etc.), accelerators (e.g., GPUs, AI accelerators, FPGAs), as well as topics related to oneAPI, tools, programming models, HPC and AI workloads, and more. Key themes: High performance computing, heterogeneous computing, artificial intelligence, visualization, memory, I/O, and storage.

Submission Guidelines

If you are interested in presenting a talk, or technical session, please submit a short abstract by Friday, August 18, 2023 (AoE) via EasyChair. While in-person presentations are preferred, pre-recorded videos will be allowed as presentation in exceptional cases. Published or work-in-progress research in respective areas are encouraged and presenters retain the right to publish elsewhere. All final presentations are due by September 15, 2023 (AoE).

Topics of Interest

• Application characterization on emerging technologies: processors (Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, Intel® GPUs, Intel® FPGAs, etc.), CXL-attached memory, OPA, etc.
• Experience with incorporating machine learning and deep learning in HPC applications and workflows including surrogate modeling, foundational models, augmented experiment design, etc.
• Performance analysis, optimization, and best practices, and implications of HPC and HPC-AI workload behavior on system design at extreme scale (Power, Reliability, Scalability, Performance, Processor Design, Memory System, I/O)
• Software environments and tools for computing at extreme scale (Instrumentation, Debugging/Correctness, Thread and Process Management, Libraries and Language Development)
• Experience using extreme scale systems: Usability, In-situ Visualization, Programming Challenges, Algorithms and Methods, etc.
