1st International Workshop on HPC Operational Data Analytics (HPC-ODA 2026)
The 1st International Workshop on HPC Operational Data Analytics (HPC-ODA 2026) will be held in conjunction with SC26 in Chicago, Illinois. Building on eight years of successful Birds-of-a-Feather sessions at SC and ISC, the workshop transitions the HPC-ODA community to a peer-reviewed format, enabling deeper technical engagement and producing archival publications in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library as part of the SC26 workshop proceedings.
The workshop welcomes full papers (8 pages), short papers (4 pages), and 5-minute lightning talks on any aspect of operational data analytics in HPC: ODA infrastructure, data collection pipelines, visualization and analytics, machine learning, standardization and governance, energy and sustainability, digital twins, and HPC use cases and best practices.
See the Call for Papers for submission details and deadlines.
