Call for Papers

DREAM 2026: 1st Workshop on Data Reduction and Energy-Aware Data Movement

Held in conjunction with SCA/HPCAsia 2026, Osaka, Japan

Workshop Date: January 2026 (TBA)

Website: https://dream-workshop.github.io/

================================
Scope, Aims, and Topics
================================
AI and data-intensive workloads are driving up both computational and energy demands, with data movement and storage now consuming energy on par with computation. Yet, these costs remain poorly understood and rarely optimized. This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from AI, HPC, and energy domains to address the challenges of modeling, profiling, and optimizing data flows for performance and sustainability. Topics include power profiling, bottleneck analysis, and energy-aware strategies across diverse architectures, from high-end HPC to resource-constrained systems. The workshop emphasizes holistic energy optimization, highlighting data movement as a critical factor in application performance and sustainability. It encourages the development of methods and tools that improve energy efficiency and supports collaboration toward more sustainable computing practices.

This workshop will focus on key technical areas critical to energy-efficient data movement across modern computing systems, including:
- Best practices for balancing throughput, latency, and sustainability
- Metrics and measurement approaches for data movement energy efficiency
- Performance modeling for data-intensive and AI workloads
- Tools and methods for data movement, data flow profiling, and tuning
- Characterization of emerging workload and the power profile
- Energy-aware dataflow and I/O optimizations
- Power monitoring and reduction strategies for underlying subsystems
- Energy measurements and modeling in emerging hardware

================================
Submission Guidelines
================================
Submissions must be in English and formatted according to the ACM Proceedings Style:
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acm-conference-proceedings-primary-article-template/wbvnghjbzwpc

Details on page limits and the submission link will be announced later. Please check our website for updates.

We use a single-blind reviewing process. Author names, affiliations, and references should remain in the manuscript. Each paper will receive at least three reviews from program committee members.

Submissions must present original work that has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication in any other conference or journal.

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings, published by ACM. SCA/HPCAsia 2026 is planning to provide a publication method.
