Overview and scope
====================

The 5th HMEM workshop serves as a forum to present and discuss ongoing 
research around heterogeneous memory systems. The scope of the workshop 
encompasses all the layers of system and software stack, from computer 
architectures, operating system, middleware, programming models, runtime 
systems, tools, to applications.

Heterogeneous memory infrastructure design is becoming an emerging trend 
in today’s HPC scene. Different memory technologies are maturing, such 
as HBM, NVM/persistent memories, and also emerging, such as those based 
on CXL. These aim at helping mitigate the memory bottleneck by offering 
opportunities for benefiting applications that process large amounts of 
data, e.g., offering small but fast memory subsystems to place 
frequently accessed data structures. Such opportunities may be realized 
across all the layers of system and software stack: from computer 
architectures, operating system, middleware, programming models, runtime 
systems, tools, up to applications.

As in previous years, the Workshop on Heterogeneous Memory Systems 
(HMEM) will bring together different research efforts and expertise to 
the end of integrating different approaches and democratizing the use of 
heterogeneous memory systems to benefit applications not only in terms 
of performance, but also energy efficiency and cost tradeoffs. The main 
goal of the workshop is to push the research frontiers forward by 
exchanging knowledge and debating ideas through featured talks, 
technical paper presentations, and interactive discussions. Overall, 
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * Data allocation and placement techniques in heterogeneous memory systems
  * Caching for heterogeneous memory systems
  * Programming models and tools for complex/heterogeneous memory
    hierarchies
  * Software-defined far memories
  * Disaggregated memory and in-memory computing
  * Data movement in heterogeneous memory systems
  * Memory consistency and persistency models
  * Data structures for heterogeneous memory infrastructures
  * Abstractions and support for failure-atomicity in persistent memory
  * Emerging memory architectures and system configurations
  * Use cases, early experiences and performance evaluations


Submissions
====================

The authors of accepted submissions will give a talk at the workshop and 
participate in the closing discussion panel.

The accepted submissions will be included in the IEEE Cluster 2024 
proceedings. The authors of accepted submissions can also opt out of 
publication, and only give a talk.

Submissions must use the template for the IEEE Cluster 2024 proceedings 
<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://clustercomp.org/2024/papers/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!b-kxsdn8xXOYHhsyj4DcqQEWDLH18wZKMssxFLXFtQJmyJkkVkPbO8MI2F4xk9h3horjCjnZdM4pbYc-K_96SDiXq5RQ$ >. Three kinds of submissions are 
possible:

  *

    Full papers: 8 pages (including references), must not include author
    names (double-blind review).

  *

    Short papers: 4 pages (including references), must not include
    author names (double-blind review).

  *

    Abstracts of previous publications: 2 pages, which summarize
    recently accepted/published at top-tier conferences/journals. In
    this case, the author names and references to the published works
    should be included in the abstract. This kind of submission will not
    be published in the proceedings.
