SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Overview: This notice is issued by the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) National Coordination Office (NCO). Agencies of the High End Computing (HEC) and Big Data (BD) Interagency Working Groups are jointly conducting a workshop focused on the convergence of HPC, BD, and ML. Experts from government, private industry, and academia will help discuss the current use cases and the technology, tools and practices that are effective, and identify gaps and issues that will require additional research to resolve. The workshop will take place on October 29 from 8:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET and October 30 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET at the Natcher Conference Center, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. Participation is by invitation only, but observers are welcome on a first come first served basis. Space is limited, but this event ( printed page 50414) will be webcast. The agenda and information about how to join the webcast will be available the week of the event at: https://www.nitrd.gov/​nitrdgroups/​index.php?​title=​HPC-BD-Convergence.

Workshop Goals: HEC and BD members will use information gathered from this workshop to inform their agency-specific research agendas.

Workshop Objectives: Identify and discuss: use cases and applications from a variety of domains; current activities to address the convergence challenge and the research and technologies that are still needed; strategies for combining the HPC, BD, and ML software and hardware ecosystems; strategies for combining the “people culture” of HPC, BD, and ML; and different modes of operation.
