The MODA25 Workshop invites original contributions on monitoring and analyzing operational data in High Performance Computing (HPC) systems and data centers. We welcome submissions on ways to collect, store, visualize, interpret, and leverage large-scale system data, as well as the use of machine learning and AI techniques to enable proactive system control and optimization. MODA25 also encourages contributions that include energy efficiency, providing a forum for HPC operators, administrators, and researchers to share best practices and motivate users toward sustainable resource usage.
Workshop Goals
The goals of the MODA workshop are to:
- Establish common frameworks and standards to guide more consistent and effective MODA practices, and encourage work that closes the gap between simply collecting data and using it effectively to achieve real improvements in HPC operations.
- Bring together experts to share practical solutions, discuss challenges, and explore new ideas for improving how we gather, analyze, and leverage operational data.
- Identify current trends, highlight critical gaps, and shape the evolution of MODA, influencing the design, planning, and procurement of future HPC systems as we move into the post-Exascale computing era.
Scope and Topics
We seek contributions that address:
- Collecting and analyzing operational data in HPC and data centers at scale
- State-of-the-practice monitoring tools, methods, and techniques
- AI/ML approaches to understand system behavior and improve operations
- Critical evaluations of AI/ML approaches to ensure practical improvements for MODA
- Integrating MODA into system software, runtime environments, and resource management
- Data-driven strategies for predictive maintenance, scheduling, and energy optimization
- Guidelines, tools, and best practices for energy efficiency and reporting
- Strategies to motivate users for sustainable resource utilization
- Approaches to ensure FAIR data practices, compliance, and trusted multitenancy
- Successful real-world MODA deployments, case studies, and work-in-progress
Contributions focused solely on application performance modeling, compiler analysis, debugging, or programming models are out-of-scope for the MODA25 workshop.
