           ScalAH22: 13th Workshop on Latest Advances in
     Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Heterogeneous Systems

                    held in conjunction with
     SC22: The International Conference on High Performance
           Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis

          in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society

               November 13, 2022, Dallas, TX, USA

Novel hybrid scalable scientific algorithms are needed with the advent of
variety of novel accelerators including graphics processing units (GPUs),
field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as well as with the growth of the size
of quantum computing devices and neuromorphic chips and various artificial
intelligence (AI) specific processors. This myriad of devices requires an
unified hybrid approach that allows efficient and scalable hybrid approaches
combining classical and novel computing paradigms to be implemented at scale.
These extreme-scale heterogeneous systems require novel scientific algorithms
to hide the complexity, hide network and memory latency, have advanced
communication, and have no synchronization points where possible. With the
advent of AI in the past few years the need of such scalable mathematical
methods and algorithms for such hybrid architectures that are able to handle
data and compute intensive applications at scale becomes even more important.

Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be
fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases
with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is
needed as a crosscutting effort. Key science applications require novel
mathematics and mathematical models and system software that address the
scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation
extreme-scale heterogeneous high performance computing (HPC) systems.


Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as technical
papers at a length of at least 6 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages and not
exceeding 8 pages, including figures, tables, and references using the IEEE
format for conference proceedings. Reference style files are available at
<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html>.

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not
currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following
these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be
taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the
institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received
after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may
also not be considered. Papers should be submitted electronically at
<https://submissions.supercomputing.org>.

All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness, originality,
technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and
relevance to the workshop attendees. Accepted papers will be published with the
IEEE Computer Society in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one author of
an accepted paper must register for and present the paper at the workshop
(in-person live, remote live or pre-recorded video):
<https://sc22.supercomputing.org/submit/in-person-presentations>.
Authors may contact the workshop program chair, Christian Engelmann at
<engelmannc at ornl.gov>, for more information.


Reproducibility Initiative
--------------------------

As part of a major initiative that aims to increase the level of reproducibility
and replicability of results, ScalAH22 invites authors of technical papers to
submit optional appendix information that can promote better reproducibility of
computational results. Submitted Artifact Description (AD) and Artifact
Evaluation (AE) appendices will follow the SC22 conference model and review
process. Learn more about the Reproducibility Initiative:
<https://sc22.supercomputing.org/reproducibility-initiative/>.
