Disaggregation is an emerging compute paradigm that splits existing
monolithic servers into a number of consolidated single-resource pools
that communicate over a fast interconnect. This model decouples
individual hardware resources, including tightly coupled ones such as
processors and memory, and enables the composition of logical compute
platforms with flexible and dynamic hardware configurations.

The concept of disaggregation is driven by various recent trends in
computation. From an application perspective, the increasing
importance of data analytics and machine learning workloads in HPC
centers brings unprecedented need for memory capacity, which is in
stark contrast with the growing imbalance in the peak
compute-to-memory capacity ratio of traditional system board based
server platforms where memory modules are co-located with processors.
Meanwhile, traditional simulation workloads leave memory
underutilized. At the hardware front, the proliferation of
heterogeneous, special purpose computing elements promotes the need
for configurable compute platforms, while at the same time, the
increasing maturity of optical interconnects raises the prospects of
better distance independence in networking infrastructure.

The workshop intends to explore various aspects of resource
disgregation, composability and their implications for high
performance computing, both in dedicated HPC centers as well as in
cloud environments. RESDIS aims to bring together researchers and
industrial practitioners to foster discussion, collaboration, mutual
exchange of knowledge and experience related to future disaggregated
systems.
