10th Annual UCF Workshop and Annual Meeting 2024
Please register using this form
The event agenda can be found TBD
- Austin TX
Held annually, the UCF Workshop and Consortium Meeting is aimed at researchers, network technology implementers, and users who are interested in sharing their ideas with a wider community about their state-of-the-art developments, user experiences and research topics. The workshop provides insights and discussions on a range of topics of interests around the consortium’s growing projects.
This year, we're pleased to announce that we will be accepting abstracts for talks. Following a review of abstracts, we will invite the selected authors to expand their abstract contributions into a talk. All contributions are subject to a peer-review process conducted by our program committee. Interested authors should initially submit a 250-word abstract of their talks. Once the abstract is accepted, authors will be encouraged to submit slides and present at UCF 2024.
Submit the abstract for your talk here: UCF 2024 Submissions (easychair)
This year, we are especially interested in delving deeper into the consortium's expanding projects and related themes such as:
- Unified Communication Framework Tools and Technologies:
- Unified Communication X (UCX), UCX-Py, UCX-Java, UCX-Go
- Unified Communication Collectives (UCC)
- RDMA user-space and kernel subsystem
- Data Processing Units (DPUs) / SmartNIC APIs
- Programming and Computational Models:
- Programming Models on top of UCF stack
- Open MPI, MPICH, OpenSHMEM, Julia, UPC, OpenMP remote offload
- Machine Learning, Data Science, and Libraries:
- Machine Learning and data science frameworks implemented on top of UCX and UCC
- Spark, Dask/RAPIDS, Apache Arrow on top of UCX, etc.
- Network offloading of scientific libraries, FFTs, etc.
- Emerging Technologies and Applications:
- Edge Computing and Scientific Instruments leveraging UCF technologies, etc.
- Cloud-native supercomputing networking technologies
- Application experiences with network offload
- Future of UCF and Evaluation Tools:
- UCF: the latest developments, usage, and future prospects of its software stack
- Benchmarks for in-network computing (e.g. DPUs)
- Cost-models and simulation tools for understanding trade-offs in network offloading
