MOTIVATION AND SCOPE

High-performance computing (HPC) is at a pivotal juncture, characterized by significant advancements in computing technologies and architectural features. This special issue explores this dynamic field's latest advancements, challenges, and innovations. Heterogeneous HPC systems integrate diverse computational resources, including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other specialized accelerators, to deliver superior performance for various applications. To harness their potential fully, these systems require novel resource management, scheduling, programming models, and performance optimization approaches. Combining cutting-edge research and practical insights, this special issue provides a comprehensive overview of heterogeneous HPC systems' current state and future directions. It is a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in leveraging heterogeneous computing to solve complex scientific, engineering, and data-intensive problems more efficiently and effectively.

The topics include but are not limited to:

Heterogeneous Programming Models and Runtime Systems:
Models, parallel resource management, and automated parallelization
Algorithms, libraries, and frameworks for heterogeneous systems

Heterogeneous Architectures:
Power/energy management, reliability, and non-von Neuman architectures
Memory and interconnection designs
Data allocation, caching, and disaggregated memory
Consistency models, persistency, and failure-atomicity

Heterogeneous Resource Management:
System and software designs for dynamic resources
High-level programming, run-time techniques, and resource frameworks
Scheduling algorithms, resource management, and I/O provisioning

Heterogeneity in Artificial Intelligence:
AI/ML/DL predictive models and optimized systems for heterogeneous workflows and applications
Tools and workflows for AI/ML/DL in scientific applications
