## WORKSHOP SCOPE

High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems have become critical for
meeting the computational and data-intensive needs of training Large
Language Models (LLMs). Simultaneously, in the domain of HPC research,
LLMs are emerging as transformative tools to understand and improve HPC
system productivity and efficiency. There are clear synergies between
these areas and meaningful coordination of efforts holds great promise.
This workshop brings together researchers and developers to explore the
intersection of HPC and LLMs, offering a comprehensive look at how these
two domains can mutually benefit and drive each other's advancement. The
workshop has two key focus areas: (i) co-design and deployment of HPC
systems to support LLM training and (ii) using LLMs to understand and
optimize/tune HPC systems. A combination of paper presentations, panel
discussion, and keynote will be included in the program to highlight
salient research and development activities, promote diverse
perspectives and visions, and stimulate discussion in the community.
