Human Powered Computing
Call for Participation
Our Technical Program Committee (TPC) invites you to submit proposals for the ACM PEARC24 Conference which will be held from July 21st to July 25th, 2024.Submissions can address any topic related to advanced research computing and data consistent with one or more of the three technical tracks described below. While not required, authors are encouraged to submit work related to the conference theme, Human Powered Computing, highlighting the contributions made by the people to the work and a commitment to impact humanity in positive ways.Authors need to plan for onsite delivery of their presentations.Students are highly encouraged to submit proposals through this process.
Technical Track for PEARC24
Applications and Software:Papers in this track will be of interest to researchers, software developers, students, and educators.
Papers will focus on practice and experience relating to the use of advanced research computing to address problems in the physical and life sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, computer science, engineering, education, manufacturing, government, and other fields.
Examples of relevant topics include development of domain-specific software; applications of and application software for GPUs, novel CPUs, FPGAs, or other advanced hardware; optimization, parallelization, or other enhancements to existing software; advanced visualization techniques; science gateways and other novel ways to access advanced computing; workflow management systems; cost-effective use of cloud and on-premise HPC resources; advanced user support; scientific results, insights, or breakthroughs enabled by research computing; tools, libraries, middleware, and frameworks that lead to more effective use of computational and data resources; approaches to scientific code design patterns, security, and reusability; and applications of machine learning techniques.
Systems and System Software:Papers in this track will be of interest to system administrators, network administrators, and cybersecurity specialists.
Papers will focus on practice and experience related to physical or virtual systems (compute, storage, visualization, instruments, and networking); system software for managing hardware; middleware and interoperability; virtualization and containerization; and operating distributed cyberinfrastructures and research computing environments.
Examples of relevant topics include containerized solutions; job scheduling; monitoring and usage analysis; fault detection and repair; software stack management; experience with advanced storage systems; hardware and systems for data-centric computing; networking challenges; design and use of visualization environments; design, deployment, and maintenance of virtualized environments; funding and operating of advanced research computing facilities (including considerations of cost of locally-sited hardware vs. remote hardware such as cloud facilities); systems procurement; systems administration; cybersecurity; practice and experience in facilitating the acquisition, operation, and use of advanced hardware, software, networks and services to advance research, scholarship, and creativity securely and sustainably; data center energy efficiency, hardware life cycle and other environmental impacts; operational performance comparisons and performance aspects of cloud environments. Submissions covering both established state of practice as well as novel research in operations are welcome.

Workforce Development, Training, Diversity, and Education:Papers in this track will be of interest to educators, research computing and data (RCD) professionals, executive leadership, early career professionals, and students.
Papers will focus on practice and experience in developing and sustaining advanced research computing as a profession, and developing a highly proficient workforce that realizes the full potential of people in all demographic groups.
Examples of relevant topics include training in advanced research computing; curriculum development for STEM, computer science, data science, and computational sciences; learning technologies; case studies involving underserved communities and groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields; career and workplace improvement (leadership opportunities, coaching and/or mentoring opportunities as part of a leadership development experience, community recognition of the value of research computing and data professionals, creating an inclusive environment); professional development in relevant professional and technical skills; and defining research computing and data career tracks.
