Call for papers: EESP Workshop at ISC High Performance 2026
The 2nd International Workshop on Energy Efficiency with Sustainable Performance (EESP) will take place on June 26 at the ISC High Performance in Hamburg and is aimed at providing a framework for exchanging practical approaches, ideas, and techniques for energy efficiency when working with artificial intelligence and modern high-performance computer setups.
Call for papers
Anyone interested in the topic of energy efficiency and the event is warmly invited to send in their submissions by the deadline on March 1.
Your ideas will find a diverse and knowledgeable audience of system designers, operators, application developers, and researchers actively shaping energy-aware HPC and AI infrastructures. Submissions will be part of the ISC proceedings in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and have a chance to win the best paper award, which will also be invited to publish extended versions in the International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications (IJHPCA).
The workshop is organized by General Chair Ayesha Afzal and her program co-chairs Natalie Bates/EE HPC WG, USA, Hatem Ltaief/KAUST, Saudi Arabia, and Bronis de Supinski/LLNL, USA.
Keynote speech
Last but not least, the workshop will feature computer scientist Dr. John Gustafson, a pioneer in HPC and the mind behind Gustafson’s Law, as keynote speaker. He will be presenting the topic “Every Bit Counts: Posit Computing for Energy-Efficient HPC and AI,” providing a forward-looking perspective on numerical representations and their role in enabling sustainable exascale and AI systems.
