Description of the workshop
The boundaries separating high-performance computing (HPC), cloud, edge, and emerging quantum platforms are rapidly dissolving, giving rise to a unified computing continuum in which workloads flow flexibly across heterogeneous resources. This workshop addresses the convergence of three disruptive forces shaping the future of large-scale digital infrastructure: Continuum Computing, encompassing seamless orchestration from micro-edge devices to exascale HPC centers; Sustainability-Aware Design, including carbon-aware scheduling, energy-proportional architectures, and circular-economy hardware strategies; and Disruptive Technologies, spanning quantum edge and cloud, neuromorphic nodes, reconfigurable fabrics, and AI-driven self-optimization. By convening researchers, practitioners, and infrastructure operators, the workshop aims to explore how these forces intersect and collectively reshape advanced computing.
Key objectives include identifying research gaps in hybrid quantum-edge-HPC workflows, producing a roadmap for sustainability-aware continuum computing, and fostering cross-community collaboration across the HPC, quantum, edge, and sustainability domains. Peer-reviewed contributions will highlight benchmark use cases — such as materials modeling and smart grid optimization — while advancing the integration of disruptive architectures with energy-efficient design toward resilient, adaptable, and sustainable digital infrastructures.
