SUMMARY:Introduction - ResCuE-HPC: 1st Workshop on Reproducible, Customiza
 ble, and Portable Workflows for HPC
DESCRIPTION:Grigori Fursin (cTuning Foundation, Dividiti Ltd); Todd Gambli
 n (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory); Milos Puzovic (Hartree Centre)
 ; and Michela Taufer (University of Delaware)\n\nExperiment reproducibilit
 y and artifact sharing is gradually becoming a norm for publications at HP
 C conferences. However, our recent experience to validate experimental res
 ults during artifact evaluation (AE) at PPoPP, CGO, PACT and SC also highl
 ighted multiple problems. Ad-hoc experimental workflows, lack of common ex
 perimental methodology and tools, and the ever changing software/hardware 
 stack all place a heavy burden on evaluators when installing, running and 
 analyzing complex experiments. Worse still, even when artifacts (e.g. benc
 hmarks, data sets, models) are shared, they are typically difficult to cus
 tomize, port, reuse, and build upon. Establishing common experimental work
 flow frameworks with common formats/APIs and portable package managers can
  considerably simplify validation and reuse of experimental results.\n\nTh
 is workshop will bring together HPC researchers and practitioners interest
 ed in developing common experimental methodologies, workflow frameworks an
 d package managers for HPC (in particular, participants in CLUSTER competi
 tions and the recent SC reproducibility initiative). We will discuss the b
 est practices of sharing benchmarks, data sets, tools and experimental res
 ults in a customizable and reusable way. We will also cover state-of-the-a
 rt in frameworks for running workloads on ever changing systems, their cur
 rent drawbacks and future improvements. Finally, we will compile a report 
 on the current state-of-the art techniques and tools which we will share w
 ith artifact evaluation committees at SC and other top-tier conferences, a
 nd the ACM taskforce on reproducibility where we are founding members. We 
 believe such a practical approach will help to improve reproducibility ini
 tiative and artifact exchange at SC while accelerating hardware/software c
 o-design of efficient HPC systems.\n\nTag: Reproducibility, Software Engin
