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

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.

This half day workshop will convene a diverse group of experts in operating system and runtime research with the goals of enabling the socialization of early works and ideas, building connections between OS/runtime researchers and the broader SC community, and highlighting current relevant research to facilitate early feedback.

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.
