Presentations were paired with an interactive Mentimeter discussion, inviting operators, researchers, and users to weigh in on how ODA has changed and where it is heading.</p> <p>Woong Shin (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) anchored the session with a retrospective on the data journey of OLCF across two generations of HPC systems, drawing out patterns in how observability, data access, and analysis workflows evolved alongside the hardware.</p> <h2 id="historical-context">Historical Context</h2> <p>SC24 marked the eighth year of the ODA Birds-of-a-Feather series. The series has tracked the maturation of the field through a sequence of recurring themes:</p> <ul> <li><strong>2019–2021</strong> — Building the ODA software stack and framework.</li> <li><strong>2022</strong> — Managing the abundance of collected data (&ldquo;drowning in data&rdquo;).</li> <li><strong>2023</strong> — Standardization and sharing of tools and methods across sites.</li> <li><strong>2024</strong> — Data journey over time and the role of AI in data analysis.</li> </ul> <h2 id="organizer">Organizer</h2> <p>The BoF is organized by the EE HPC WG Operational Data Analytics team, a global community of HPC operators, researchers, and tool developers working to advance operational data analytics as a discipline.</p>
