WOCC’24 – Second Workshop on Converged Computing on Edge, Cloud, and HPC

Thursday, May 16, 2024 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM · 4 hr. (CET)

Hall Y2 – 2nd floor

The Second Workshop on Converged Computing (WOCC’24) will provide the edge, HPC and cloud communities a dedicated venue for discussing challenges and research opportunities, deployment efforts, and best practices in supporting complex workflows on coordinated use of supercomputers and cloud data centers as well as edge-processing devices. The workshop encourages interaction between participants who are developing applications, algorithms, middleware and infrastructure for converged environments. The workshop will be an ideal place for the community to define the current state-of-the-art, identify fundamental challenges and feasible future technologies and techniques. The workshop aims to start discussion on questions, including: what changes to architecture, hardware, and middleware designs (including hardware monitoring, the operating systems, system software, resource management) are needed? How to monitor and collect system level metrics for utilization to identify bottlenecks to meet the different targets in performance, cost, power budget? How to support different coupling patterns (e.g., loose or tight) between traditional scientific and big-data/AI components? What complex workflows and workloads leverage heterogeneity, elasticity, dynamic resources provisioning?
