Abstract
----------------------
We are pleased to announce the 8th International Parallel Data Systems
Workshop (PDSW’23). PDSW'23 will be hosted in conjunction with SC23: The
International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking,
Storage and Analysis, in Denver, CO.
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 2022.
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:
* Large-scale data caching architectures
* Scalable architectures for distributed data storage, archival, and
virtualization
* The application of new data processing models and algorithms
towards 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, compression, reduction techniques
* Data and metadata indexing and querying
* 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 in the SC23 Workshop Proceedings.
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’23, submissions that are accompanied by AD Appendices
will be given favorable consideration for the PDSW Best Paper award.
PDSW’23 follows the SC23 Reproducibility Initiative. For Artifact
Description (AD) Appendices, we will use the format of the SC23 for
PDSW'23 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 2023 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, indicate authors
and affiliations. Papers must be up to 6 pages, not less than 10 point
font and not including references and optional reproducibility appendices.
*Submission site*: https://submissions.supercomputing.org/
*Submissions due: *July 30th, 2023, 11:59 PM AoE
Papers must use the ACM conference paper template available at:
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template
