The workshop will investigate how technologies that are typically exploited in the context of Cloud and Edge environments, including serverless computing, microservices, and load balancers, must be adapted, tailored and managed to achieve efficient and scalable solutions able to support the execution of HPC applications. The key topics include lightweight virtualization, dynamic execution environments, and advanced scheduling technologies that are crucial to the deployment of high-performance workflows in Cloud environments, but not limited to them. In addition, the workshop will focus on orchestration and deployment techniques.
The workshop aims to attract submissions on innovative programming paradigms for high-performance Cloud-Edge computing, including network communication, data management, and strategies for fault tolerance, reliability, and security. The workshop seeks for insights on managing data-intensive workloads, heterogeneous resource management tools, and HPC applications monitoring in Cloud-Edge environments. Emphasis will be placed on sustainability, highlighting efficient and green practices.
In addition, contributions on the potential for FPGA/GPU acceleration architectures for data flow processing and joint resource sharing mechanisms in hybrid HPC environments are welcome. Similarly, we aim at exploring the latest innovations, challenges and applications in Cloud-Edge continuity and hybrid Cloud HPC, with a focus on accelerated environments such as FPGA and GPU architectures. Improvement and innovation opportunities like these call for new solutions and theoretical frameworks.
