[hpc-announce] CFP: Workshop on Reproducible and Sustainable HPC Benchmarking

[Pearce, Olga]

We invite submissions to the Workshop on Reproducible and Sustainable HPC Benchmarking (RS-HPCBench-2026), held in conjunction with ICS 2026 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK on Monday, July 6, 2026, 09:00–17:00.

The Workshop on Reproducible and Sustainable HPC Benchmarking brings together experts from HPC centers and vendors around the world to present and discuss similarities and differences among reproducibility and sustainability of test frameworks for HPC systems. The workshop will include a series of paper presentations from peer-reviewed accepted submissions followed by a hands on component.  This combined presentation and hands on format workshop will bring together experts from HPC centers and vendors around the world to present and discuss similarities and differences among reproducibility and sustainabiity of test frameworks for HPC systems. The workshop will encourage submissions highlighting current benchmarks, reproducibility tests, and procedures utilized in today’s HPC systems. This workshop provides an opportunity to showcase newly developed tools and methodologies, as well as tools and methodologies actively being designed to allow authors to gather input and feedback from the community to help improve their software. The event will invite and welcome international participation from HPC centers, academic institutions, and representatives from vendors in the supercomputing space. In addition to discussing procedures and tools utilized, submissions can describe challenges, lessons learned, and best practices used for reproducibility testing and sustainability evaluation.
