REX-IO '23

Topics of Interest Include:

• Understanding I/O inefficiencies in emerging workloads such as complex multi-step workflows, in-situ analysis, AI, and data analytics methods 

• New I/O optimization techniques, including how ML and AI algorithms might be adapted for intelligent load balancing and I/O pattern prediction of complex, hybrid application workloads

• Performance benchmarking and modeling, and I/O behavior studies of emerging workloads

• New possibilities for the I/O optimization of emerging application workloads and their I/O subsystems

• Efficient monitoring tools for metadata and storage hardware statistics at runtime, dynamic storage resource management, and I/O load balancing

• Parallel file systems, metadata management, and complex data management

• Understanding and efficiently utilizing complex storage hierarchies beyond the traditional two-tiered file system and archive model 

• User-friendly tools and techniques for managing data movement among compute and storage nodes

• Use of staging areas, such as burst buffers or other private or shared acceleration tiers for managing intermediate data between computation tasks

• Application of emerging big data frameworks towards scientific computing and analysis

• Alternative data storage models, including object and key-value stores, and scalable software architectures for data storage and archive

• Position papers on related topics

WiP Submissions: 

All WiP submissions must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Indicate all authors and affiliations. All WiP will be reviewed using a single-blind peer-review process. Submissions should be a complete manuscript. WiP submissions should not exceed 2 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5 X 11 inch pages (IEEE conference style) including everything excluding references.

WiP submissions are to be submitted electronically in PDF format and should not have appeared in or be under consideration at a different venue. It is also expected that all accepted WiP submissions will be presented at the workshop by one of the authors.

All accepted WiP submissions will be published in the IEEE Cluster 2023 conference proceedings.

Submission Instructions:
Please send your WiP submission to the REX-IO'23 Co-Chairs via email: rexio23[at]easychair.org. Please use "REX-IO'23 WiP Submission" as the subject.
