How can we restore reproducibility?
How do we take potential into reality…
HPC and Business Versus Fidelity
What are the requirements and implications of HPC/BD/ML’s convergence for system software?
What are the implications of widely heterogeneous computing on system software
How will future HPC hardware look like?

The end of Moores Law (or Moores Law going backwards)
Death of the POSIX file-system
How does IoT and Computing on the Edge influence HPC?
Blockchain will be an interesting topic even if it’s a short-lived one.
The state of AI and how it influences developments in HPC
“Blockchain” -a huge buzzword, interested on how much of it is hype versus how much lasting potential the technology will have.
Panel on Meltdown/Spectre: for some workloads, these chip design flaws effectively dialed back a modest amount of progress.
Privacy, Human Rights, and Ethics in the Big Data era
Discuss specific niche workloads where Meltdown resulted in a large performance penalty as well, or if the impact is most severely limited to custom-tailored, worst-case-scenario benchmarks.
