===================================================

The ROSS is a workshop aimed at identifying looming problems and discussing promising research solutions in the area of runtime and operating systems for extreme-scale supercomputer systems. Specifically, ROSS focuses on principles and techniques to design, implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems for extreme-scale supercomputing and cloud environments.  In addition to typical workshop publications, we encourage novel and possibly immature ideas, provided that they are interesting and on-topic.  Well argued position papers are also welcome.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
This workshop will consider all aspects of OS and runtime systems at extreme-scale including, but not limited to:

- OS and runtime system scalability on many-node and multi/many-core systems; Management of heterogeneous and reconfigurable compute resources, including FPGAs, GPUs, etc
- Management of emerging post-moore computing architectures, including quantum, neuromorphic, etc
- Distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSs and runtime systems for supercomputing
- Analysis and prevention of system noise and performance variability
- Runtime and operating systems for resource disaggregation
- Modeling and performance analysis of runtime systems
- The use of machine learning and AI techniques in the autotuning of system software and resource management
- OS and runtime considerations for large-volume, high-performance I/O
- Memory management and emerging memory technologies
- OS and runtime aspects of HPC in the cloud, convergence of supercomputing and cloud environments
- Infrastructure for cloud functions and serverless computing in the context of HPC
- OS and runtime support for emerging workloads such as on-demand or persistent service use cases
- Virtualization in HPC, including virtual machines and application containers
- The role of the OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage and energy efficiency
- OS and runtime impacts of security and trust for HPC.
