Call for Demos!

HPPSS is accepting submissions that demonstrate the application of a technology for greatly enhancing the performance and capability of Python at scale. Technologies that are applicable to a wide range of use-cases and accessible to a broad user base are of particular interest. Showing technologies applied to specific use-cases can be very helpful for the audience’s understanding, but be sure to show and discuss how they generalize.

Important Dates

  • Submission opens: June 1, 2023

  • Paper Submission deadline: updated to August 15, 2023 (previously August 8, 2023)

  • Decisions: September 8, 2023

  • Camera ready due: September 29, 2023

  • SC23 conference: November 12-17th

  • HPPSS half-day workshop: morning of November 12th

Interest Areas

Submissions in the following areas are well-suited for HPPSS:

  • Python for accelerated computing at scale

  • Programming of federated/distributed workflows

  • Data management between Python libraries, processes and with storage

  • Performance via intelligent data management across memory hierarchies

  • High-bandwidth/low-latency network performance for Python

  • Multi-processing for on-node and off-node configurations

  • Program execution including parallelization and asynchronous communication

Submission Format

Submissions can be made in either the Demo or Work-in-progress tracks. Both tracks will feature work that is innovative and of significant interest to the community.

Demos

The Demo track is for more mature work and should be based on examples/code that is accessible to anyone in the audience. These submissions include a 4-page paper, demo recording, and presentation designed around the demo.

Work-in-progress

The Work-in-progress track is for work that may not be ready for community adoption but demonstrates the direction and would benefit from community feedback. These submissions include an abstract and demo recording.

How to Submit

Paper or Abstract Submission

Submissions are either abstracts or 4-page short papers, including references and figures, depending on the track above. Templates and the ACM computing classification system can be found here: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

For Latex users, version 1.90 (last update April 4, 2023) is the latest template, and please use the “sigconf” option.

You can create a submission at SC23 HPPSS Workshop Submissions.

Instructions for preparing papers for the proceedings will be emailed to authors of accepted papers. For queries concerning papers (submission, deadlines, publishing, etc.) please contact:

sc-ws-hppss@info.supercomputing.org

Demo Video Submission

Video recordings of demos should be submitted through Zenodo. Recordings should include audio commentary describing the demo and what is being shown. Submissions accepted to the conference will have an opportunity to produce an updated video that does not include commentary. The presenter should be prepared to describe the demo video as part of their presentation.

We have created a Zenodo 1 community: HPPSS – Zenodo for contributors to upload their video submissions for the workshop.
