MOTIVATION AND SCOPE

The ever-increasing complexity of scientific and industrial challenges due to the enormous amount of data available nowadays requires advanced high-performance computing (HPC) solutions capable of processing and analyzing data efficiently on highly distributed platforms. Traditional centralized HPC systems frequently fall short of the demands of contemporary large-scale applications (e.g., large language models), prompting a move towards more flexible and scalable distributed computing environments. Furthermore, the growing emphasis on the environmental impact of large-scale computing has highlighted the need for sustainable computing practices that minimize energy consumption and carbon footprint.

This Special Issue targets innovative solutions that investigate and tackle the challenges and opportunities of deploying HPC applications on distributed platforms, such as cloud, edge, and hybrid systems, focusing on promoting sustainable computing practices. The aim is to bring together pioneering research and practical insights highlighting advancements in scalable algorithms, efficient data management, robust performance optimization techniques, and sustainable computing strategies. By providing a platform for disseminating innovative solutions and best practices, this Special Issue aspires to support the development of resilient, efficient, and sustainable HPC applications that can meet the demands of future scientific and industrial challenges.

The topics of this special issue include (but are not limited to):

*High-performance computing architectures and systems for big data
*Parallel and distributed algorithms for big data processing
*HPC-enabled data analytics
*High-performance data storage and retrieval systems
*Performance modeling and evaluation of HPC systems in distributed platforms
*HPC in machine learning and artificial intelligence
*HPC for scientific computing and simulations
*HPC in the Cloud for big data processing
*Energy-efficient and green HPC
