Dear EasyBuilders,
Please find the call for participation for the HPC devroom I'm
co-organizing at FOSDEM'21 (https://fosdem.org) below; see also
https://hpc-bigdata-fosdem21.github.io.
We welcome talks on topics related to HPC, Big Data & Data Science and
FOSS (Free & Open Source Software), in the broad sense (scientific
software, sysadmin tools, machine learning, etc.).
FOSDEM'21 will be fully virtual for well known reasons, which makes it
especially challenging this year to organize the devroom.
Please consider submitting a talk proposal (submissions are very light
weight, basically just a talk title + short description).
Keep in mind that the submission deadline is very close:
Tuesday Dec 15th 2020!
If you know anyone who may be interested in submitting a talk, please
consider reaching out to them in person, and suggest them to submit a
talk proposal.
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have (off-list please).
FOSDEM'21 HPC, Big Data, and Data Science Devroom
=================================================
https://hpc-bigdata-fosdem21.github.io
** Call for Participation **
Submission deadline: Tuesday Dec 15th 2020
Devroom date: Sunday Feb 7th 2021
We are proud to announce the 6th edition of the HPC, Big Data and Data
Science devroom at FOSDEM 2021.
The devroom is organized by representatives from the HPC and Big Data
communities, who are joining forces to bring both communities together.
The devroom will take place *online* on Sunday Feb 7th 2021,
and is open for everybody to join (no registration required).
Join us to enjoy a full day of talks, demos and interesting discussions
on open-source HPC, Big Data and Data Science.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Architecture and design of High Performance Computing (HPC) and Big
Data
systems
Architecture and design of Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) and data
acquisition pipelines
Data security and governance
Tools and technologies related to HPC and computational science, for
example:
Multithreading (OpenMP, etc.)
Distributed computing (MPI, etc.)
GPGPU computing (OpenCL, OpenACC, etc.)
Parallel filesystems and storage
Large-scale performance analysis and debugging
Computational paradigms for Big Data systems
MapReduce engines
Streaming engines
SQL engines
Dataflow engines
Emerging hardware trends of large scale clusters
Large scale memory pooling
High-speed interconnects
ARM cluster architecture
System administration of HPC and Big Data clusters
User support tools
Machine learning libraries and tools
Scientific software applications, tools and libraries (across all
scientific
domains)
Big Data platforms, extensions to existing systems, libraries, APIs
Experience reports on using Big Data systems, for example:
Large-scale deployments
Development and configuration issues
Tuning and performance tips and lessons learned
Interesting Big Data use-cases and applications
Comparative analysis of existing systems, evaluation results,
performance
studies
Interdisciplinary HPC/Big Data use-cases, for example:
Applications using both HPC and Big Data technologies
Integration issues
Open research problems on the convergence of HPC and Big Data
Running MPI jobs on Big Data clusters and vice-versa
Sounds interesting? Submit your talk proposal and see you (virtually) at
FOSDEM'21!
Submissions are light weight: basically talk title + short description,
plain text. Accepted talks will need to be pre-recorded by mid Jan'21.
