The growing disparity between compute and memory speed, known as the memory wall problem, has been one of the most critical and long-standing challenges in the computing industry. The prevalence of heterogeneous computing, the ongoing expansion of the memory hierarchy, and the advent of disaggregated architectures have considerably expanded the scope of this problem. Computer architecture, operating systems, storage systems, performance models, tools, and applications themselves are being enhanced or even redesigned to address the performance, programmability, and energy efficiency challenges of the increasingly complex and heterogeneous memory systems. Exploring the intersection of these research areas will enable cohesive and synergistic development and collaboration on the future of memory technologies, systems, and applications. As the successor to the previously successful Memory-Centric High Performance Computing (MCHPC) workshop, MTSA’23: Workshop on Memory Technologies, Systems, and Applications aims to bring together researchers from industry, government labs, and academia concerned with the challenges of efficiently using existing and emerging memory systems. The term performance for memory systems is general, which includes latency, bandwidth, power consumption and reliability from the aspect of hardware memory technologies to what it is manifested in the application performance. The topics of interest for the MTSA workshop include, but are not limited to:
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in English structured as 10 2-column pages (U.S. letter – 8.5”x11”), excluding the bibliography, using the ACM Proceedings Template (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). Latex users, please use the “sigconf” option (use of the “review” option is recommended but not required). Word authors can use the “Interim Layout”. The workshop encourages submitters to include reproducibility information, using Reproducibility Initiative for SC'23 Technical Papers as a guideline. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed and judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, and significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. There will be one round of single-blind reviews with potential for acceptance with minor revisions before the camera ready submission.
Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. At least one author of an accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop. Authors may contact the workshop organizers for more information. Papers should be submitted electronically at this direct link or at https://submissions.supercomputing.org, choose "submit" and then "SC23 Workshop: MTSA'23: Workshop on Memory Technologies, Systems, and Applications". The final papers will be published in the SC Workshops Proceedings volume. Copyright procedures will follow those of the SC Workshops Proceedings.
