Call for Workshop Proposals

The 37th IEEE/SBC International Symposium on Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing (SBAC-PAD) invites proposals for workshops that provide a forum for discussions among researchers and practitioners on focused and timely topics within the fields of Computer Architecture and High-Performance Computing (HPC).

For this edition, we are particularly interested in emerging and transformative topics, including but not limited to:

•⁠ ⁠HPC for healthcare, genomics, and life sciences applications.
•⁠ ⁠Big data management and analytics in HPC environments.
•⁠ ⁠Energy-efficient, thermal-aware, and sustainable HPC systems.
•⁠ ⁠AI-driven HPC: adaptive, self-optimizing, and “thinking” computer systems.
•⁠ ⁠Quantum computing and its integration with HPC architectures.
•⁠ ⁠Heterogeneous and collaborative computing at extreme scales.
•⁠ ⁠Edge and cloud convergence for HPC workloads.
•⁠ ⁠Security, resilience, and fault tolerance in large-scale HPC infrastructures.
•⁠ ⁠Software quality, verification, and correctness in HPC applications.
•⁠ ⁠Flexible, scalable, and domain-specific architectures for next-generation computing.

Workshop Format and Publication

Organizers are free to structure workshops as they see fit, incorporating invited talks, panel discussions, presentations of work in progress, fully peer-reviewed papers, or a combination of these. Workshops may be scheduled as half-day or full-day events.

Accepted, peer-reviewed workshop papers will be included in the SBAC-PAD 2025 proceedings and published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Each paper must receive at least three independent reviews to be eligible for publication.
