[hpc-announce] [Call for Participation] MODA25 Workshop at ISC 2025

[Thomas Jakobsche]

=== Call for Participation ===

6th International Workshop on "Monitoring & Operational Data Analytics" (MODA25)
In conjunction with ISC HPC 2025, June 13, 2025, Hamburg, Germany.
Website: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://moda.dmi.unibas.ch__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!e2v7mZGzKFWjxuuyMfQxO5Egh9JD7YEQAXQuinpEif-c5qjffVZBvLy3Ii5Y5GaPyaFzLJVowF_xeAxfuuFOHMEtb8zyBglBuzBT$ 

Join us at the MODA25 Workshop to connect with a community dedicated to monitoring and analyzing operational data in High Performance Computing (HPC) systems and data centers. The workshop brings together HPC operators, administrators, researchers, and practitioners to explore innovative methods for collecting, storing, visualizing, and interpreting large-scale system data. MODA25 provides a platform for sharing best practices and exchanging ideas, including the use of machine learning for proactive system control, performance optimization, and sustainable resource usage in HPC environments.

=== Workshop Goals ===

The goals of the MODA workshop are to:
- Establish common frameworks and standards to guide more consistent and effective MODA practices, and encourage work that closes the gap between simply collecting data and using it effectively to achieve real improvements in HPC operations.
- Bring together experts to share practical solutions, discuss challenges, and explore new ideas for improving how we gather, analyze, and leverage operational data.
- Identify current trends, highlight critical gaps, and shape the evolution of MODA, influencing the design, planning, and procurement of future HPC systems as we move into the post-Exascale computing era.
