[hpc-announce] 2026 Workshop on Scalable Tools

[Barton Miller]

*2026 Scalable Tools Workshop*

You are invited to attend the 2026 edition of the Scalable Tools 
Workshop. The workshop will be a 3.5 day event to be held July 26-30
in Madison, Wisconsin.

This meeting is attended by tool researchers and developers to discuss 
common interests and work to advance the state of the art for tools for 
high performance computing. The organization of this year's workshop 
will be like that of prior years. For the benefit of those of you who 
have not attended in the past, this is a working workshop that aims to 
foster exchange of ideas and catalyze collaboration with colleagues in 
the field. This year, we encourage discussion of the confluence of tools 
for HPC and high performance AI.

The schedule for the workshop will include a balance between attendee 
presentations and working groups focused on topics of interest. Working 
groups can include joint work on a piece of software, exchange of 
information to address immediate needs, work to develop a standard, 
discussion of opportunities for collaboration, tutorial sessions, or 
brainstorming about how to address challenges ahead.

If you are familiar with the workshop, registration will work 
differently this year. You will register separately for the meeting 
(which includes meeting fee, breaks, lunches, and a welcome reception 
dinner on Sunday evening). The registration fee will be $350. 
Registration closes three weeks before the workshop. Though if you are 
giving a talk, you must be register at the time we approve the talk.

Hotel accommodations will be at the nearby Hampton Inn, with special 
event rate of $164/night. (The hotel rate include breakfast.) Note that 
the room block is only reserved for us until June 27. Madison is a very 
popular destination in the summer so make sure to reserve before this date!

If you want to make a presentation, you need to send us email with your 
proposed title and abstract. Attendees are not required to make a 
presentation, but you are encouraged to do so. There are a limited 
number of presentation slots.

All the relevant details can be found on the meeting meeting website:

Click on the "Registration" tab to register for the workshop and 
"Lodging" to make your hotel reservations.

Once we have an initial attendee list, we will solicit topics for 
working groups and (as in prior years) select the final topics at the 
meeting after assessing attendee interests. If you and another 
participant want to collaborate on any related topic, this is the place 
you can do it.

This workshop is an open event. You are welcome to pass along this 
invitation to colleagues that you think would benefit from attending the 
workshop. If you send me additional email addresses, we will make sure 
that these folks get updates from us. Note that we use this mailing list 
ONLY for this workshop and do not share it with any other group or 
organization.

Looking forward to seeing you in Madison.

best,
