Papers due: May 6th. The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC<ht= tps://vhpc.org>) aims to bring together researchers and industrial practiti= oners facing the challenges posed by virtualization in HPC/Cloud scenarios = in order to foster discussion, collaboration, mutual exchange of knowledge = and experience, enabling research to ultimately provide novel solutions for= virtualized computing systems. The workshop features paper presentations, = discussion sessions, and lightning talks. Accepted papers will be published= in a Springer LNCS volume (indexed by Scopus and others). Focus Topics This year, we are calling the timely topic of virtualization in support of = high-memory LLM training workloads including, but not limited to: * GPU hypervisor memory virtualization: Techniques for virtualizing GPU= memory to allow flexible and efficient allocation across multiple workload= s, enabling higher utilization of GPU resources * Flat CPU/GPU memory page tables/TLB: Unified virtual memory spaces an= d page table structures that allow both GPUs to address CPU memory mapped t= o accelerator global memory space * Storage/filesystem to virtual memory mapped approaches * Distributed memory virtualization * Memory compression and reduction techniques: approaches for compressi= ng model parameters, activations, and gradients to reduce memory requiremen= ts during training * Out-of-core training algorithms * Efficient memory allocation and management: Techniques for optimizing= memory allocation, reducing fragmentation, and improving memory utilizatio= n during training * Memory-efficient data formats and processing: Data formats and proces= sing techniques that minimize memory overhead while maintaining training ef= ficiency * Benchmarking and profiling tools: Tools and methodologies for measuri= ng, analyzing, and optimizing memory usage in LLM training workloads * Case studies and applications: Real-world examples and applications o= f virtualization techniques in LLM training scenarios In addition to regular topics: * Container Platforms (Kubernetes, Docker, Nitro/Firecracker, Singulari= ty, Shifter, rkt, =85) and Unikernel Frameworks * Composable Lightweight Application Components and Lambda / Function-a= s-a-Service Paradigms * Latency Control, Warm/Cold-start issues and Data/Container Placement = in Heterogeneous HPC Virtualized Environments * Energy-efficiency and Service Orchestration in Virtualized Cloud & HP= C Infrastructures The call for papers is also available in PDF Format<https://vhpc.github.io/= VHPC-CfP.pdf>. The workshop will be composed of 20 min paper presentations,= each followed by 10 min discussion sessions, plus lightning talks that are= limited to 5 minutes. Presentations may be accompanied by interactive demo= nstrations. For more information and detailed paper submission instructions= , refer to the VHPC'24 webpage<https://vhpc.org/>. Important Dates (AoE) * May 6th, 2024: Paper submission deadline (Springer LNCS) * Jun 20th, 2024: Acceptance notification * Jul 1st, 2024: Camera-ready version due * Aug 26th-27th, 2024: Workshop Day General Chairs * Michael Alexander, Institute of Science and Technology, Austria * Anastassios Nanos, Nubificus Ltd., UK * Tommaso Cucinotta, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Italy Publicity Chairs * Remo Andreoli, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Italy General Information The workshop will be held in conjuction with the International European Con= ference on Parallel and Distributed Computing (Euro-Par 2024)<https://2024.= euro-par.org>, on Aug 26th-27th, 2024, in Madrid, Spain.
