           ScalAH24: 15th Workshop on Latest Advances in
     Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Heterogeneous Systems

                    held in conjunction with
     SC24: The International Conference on High Performance
           Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis

          in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society

                 November 17, 2024, Denver, CO, USA

      https://urldefense.us/v3/__http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2024__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!YGNnVtK3c-NKL_8m_yGWytwSpWDbifmbzDoSbK3jK-Lk2mzQ1CyZFeDfPnBq1cv3tEqBzbg0vPxGklduyCwSFrnR1m7V$ 


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 in PDF format with at least 5 letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages in IEEE
two-column format and not exceeding 8 pages, plus an optional 4-page Artifact
Description Appendix. All authors must use the proceedings templates at
https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!YGNnVtK3c-NKL_8m_yGWytwSpWDbifmbzDoSbK3jK-Lk2mzQ1CyZFeDfPnBq1cv3tEqBzbg0vPxGklduyCwSFkzSVTZR$ .

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://urldefense.us/v3/__https://submissions.supercomputing.org__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!YGNnVtK3c-NKL_8m_yGWytwSpWDbifmbzDoSbK3jK-Lk2mzQ1CyZFeDfPnBq1cv3tEqBzbg0vPxGklduyCwSFknfeDLi$ .

All manuscripts will be single-blind peer-reviewed by at least 3 committee
members 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 ACM SC Workshop
proceedings. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and
present the paper at the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop program
chair, Christian Engelmann at engelmannc at ornl.gov<mailto: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, ScalAH24 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 should follow the SC24 conference model and included
in the submitted manuscript
(see https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://sc24.supercomputing.org/program/papers/reproducibility-initiative/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!YGNnVtK3c-NKL_8m_yGWytwSpWDbifmbzDoSbK3jK-Lk2mzQ1CyZFeDfPnBq1cv3tEqBzbg0vPxGklduyCwSFuDPTzzk$ ).

Up to 4 additional letter size (8.5in x 11in) pages are permitted for the AD
and AE appendices, but should not be used to circumvent the 8-page limit for the
technical contribution. A manuscript can not be disqualified based on information
provided or not provided in the AD/AE appendices, nor if the appendix is not
available. The availability and quality of an appendix can be used in ranking. In
particular, if two manuscripts are of similar quality, the existence and quality
of the AD/AE appendices can be part of the evaluation process.
