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.

While we are accepting submissions to present at this year’s workshop, note that submissions will not be included in the SC proceedings. The purpose of submissions are to help us plan the event and provide feedback to submitters. Our intention is that this makes it easier for submitters and we get a broader engagement from the community. We do plan to provide links to submissions through the HPPSS GitHub and website.

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 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

HPPSS will have two submission tracks this year

  • Demos

  • Works-in-progress

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 short paper (500-1000 words and 4 pages or less - includes figures, references do not count toward the page limit), demo recording, and presentation designed around the demo.

See “Demo Video Submission” below for more information on how to provide the demo portion of the submission.

Works-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 (250-500 words and 2 pages or less - includes figures, references do not count toward the page limit) and demo recording.

See “Demo Video Submission” below for more information on how to provide the demo portion of the submission.

How to Submit

Short 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 SC24 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. Submitted 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 should 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.
