14th International Workshop on Runtime and Operating Systems for Supercomputers
ROSS @ SC25
Note: Accepted papers will appear in the SC25 workshop proceedings
[8/7/2025] - Final deadline extension: August 15, 2025 (AoE)
[4/28/2025] - The ROSS Workshop will be held on Sunday, November 16, 2025
[3/18/2025] - The ROSS Workshop has been accepted as a half-day workshop to be included as part of the SC25 program!
The ROSS is a workshop aimed at identifying looming problems and discussing promising research solutions in the area of runtime and operating systems for extreme-scale supercomputer systems. Specifically, ROSS focuses on principles and techniques to design, implement, optimize, or operate runtime and operating systems for extreme-scale supercomputing and cloud environments. In addition to typical workshop publications, we encourage novel and possibly immature ideas, provided that they are interesting and on-topic. Well argued position papers are also welcome.
This workshop will consider all aspects of OS and runtime systems at extreme-scale including, but not limited to:
OS and runtime system scalability on many-node and multi/many-core systems;
Management of heterogeneous and reconfigurable compute resources, including FPGAs, GPUs, etc;
Management of emerging post-moore computing architectures, including quantum, neuromorphic, etc;
Distributed/hybrid/partitioned OSs and runtime systems for supercomputing;
Analysis and prevention of system noise and performance variability;
Runtime and operating systems for resource disaggregation;
Modeling and performance analysis of runtime systems;
The use of machine learning and AI techniques in the autotuning of system software and resource management;
OS and runtime considerations for large-volume, high-performance I/O;
Memory management and emerging memory technologies;
OS and runtime aspects of HPC in the cloud, convergence of supercomputing and cloud environments;
Infrastructure for cloud functions and serverless computing in the context of HPC;
OS and runtime support for emerging workloads such as on-demand or persistent service use cases;
Virtualization in HPC, including virtual machines and application containers;
The role of the OS and runtime system in minimizing power usage and energy efficiency;
OS and runtime impacts of security and trust for HPC.
