While there has been much research and development on C/R and C/R tools, few HPC end users are able to use these tools in production workloads. Although research codes often demonstrate promising C/R capabilities, there are no feasible C/R options for diverse production workloads, especially on cutting-edge HPC systems. In this symposium, we will bring together C/R researchers, practitioners, application developers, and end users to share both the latest research results and experiences on adopting C/R tools in production. The goal of this symposium is to showcase the latest research on C/R, motivate the development of usable C/R tools, and boost the adoption of C/R tools in HPC production workloads. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2.00004;margin-top:9pt;margin-bottom:0pt" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">This symposium features up-to-the-minute, original and high-quality work, and will be presentation only (no papers).
