NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Notice of Workshop on the Convergence of High Performance
Computing, Big Data, and Machine Learning
AGENCY: Networking and Information Technology Research and Development
(NITRD) National Coordination Office (NCO), National Science
Foundation.
ACTION: Notice of Workshop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This workshop will focus on the R&D challenges of integrating
high performance computing (HPC), big data (BD), and machine learning
(ML) computing platforms to support the needs of an evolving scientific
and technological landscape.
DATES: October 29-30, 2018.

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
[[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.
