CALL FOR PAPERS
=============================================
LLMxHPC: 2024 International Workshop on Large Language Models (LLMs) and HPC

September 24, 2024 in Kobe, Japan
Co-hosted with the 2024 IEEE Cluster Conference

Submission deadline: June 29, 2024 (extended)
=============================================


## WORKSHOP SCOPE

High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems have become critical for
meeting the computational and data-intensive needs of training Large
Language Models (LLMs). Simultaneously, in the domain of HPC research,
LLMs are emerging as transformative tools to understand and improve
HPC system productivity and efficiency. There are clear synergies
between these areas and meaningful coordination of efforts holds great
promise. This workshop brings together researchers and developers to
explore the intersection of HPC and LLMs, offering a comprehensive
look at how these two domains can mutually benefit and drive each
other's advancement. The workshop has two key focus areas: (i)
co-design and deployment of HPC systems to support LLM training and
(ii) using LLMs to understand and optimize/tune HPC systems. A
combination of paper presentations, panel discussion, and keynote will
be included in the program to highlight salient research and
development activities, promote diverse perspectives and visions, and
stimulate discussion in the community.


## TOPICS

Topics to be covered in this workshop include, but are not limited to,
The computational and data needs of LLM training
Exploring architectural advancements that support LLM training
GPU-accelerated computing
High-bandwidth memory systems
Advanced networking capabilities
LLM-HPC co-design efforts
Utilizing LLMs to improve HPC deployment and operations
Analyzing extensive system logs for performance
Energy efficiency
