[hpc-announce] Energy Eff State of Practice Workshop CFP - Paper Deadline: Aug 3

[Siddhartha Jana]

The 4th Annual EE HPC State of the Practice Workshop will be VIRTUAL
only.  It will be held in conjunction with the 13th International
Green and Sustainable Computing Conference (IGSC2022).*  All accepted
papers will be published as part of the Conference Proceedings in IEEE
Explore.  There will be a registration fee for the
Conference/Workshop, the exact fee is TBD.

ABSTRACT:  Power and energy are recognized as first-order constraints
in high-performance computing. Optimizing for various factors such as
cost, efficiency, and performance under power and energy constraints
requires coordination across the infrastructure (e.g., mechanical and
electrical systems), the HPC system (hardware and software), and
end-user applications.

There are early adopters and innovators in operational practices and
technologies that are geared towards improving energy and power
management capabilities. This workshop will explore these operational
and technological innovations that span HPC computational systems as
well as building infrastructure.
This workshop aims to allow for the publication of practices,
policies, procedures, and technologies in formal peer-reviewed papers
so the broader community can benefit from these experiences. It will
expose use cases, lessons learned, and best practices in design,
commissioning, and operations.  The nature of these papers is
generally descriptive with hard experiential data gathered through
surveys, case studies, and research for practice.

## Workshop Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the
following areas, specifically related to HPC power and energy:
- Instrumentation, measurement, monitoring
- Management and control
- Operational data analytics
- Liquid cooling
- Electrical power distribution
- Procurement considerations
- APIs, standards, specifications, open solutions
- Efficiency and operational insights gained from working with
emergency remote and/or limited on-site operations (e.g., due to
COVID)
- Reliability, availability, serviceability, and maintainability
- Sustainability

* Note, that this virtual workshop is co-located with the IGSC 2022
conference series. This is a change from past plans on organizing this
workshop in-person, co-located with Cluster2022.
