SUMMARY:3rd International Workshop on HPC Testing and Evaluation of System
 s, Tools, and Software (HPCTESTS 2025)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop brings together HPC researchers, operators, and 
 vendors from around the globe to present and discuss state-of-the-art HPC 
 system testing methodologies, tools, benchmarks, procedures, and best prac
 tices. The increasing complexity of HPC architectures and growing need to 
 leverage HPC for integrated workflows necessitates more extensive testing 
 than ever in order to thoroughly evaluate the status of the system after i
 nstallation or a software upgrade and ensure proper operation before it is
  transitioned to production. Different methodologies are used to evaluate 
 systems during their lifetime, not only at the beginning during the instal
 lation, but also during maintenance windows and alongside regular operatio
 ns. This workshop provides a venue to present and discuss the latest HPC s
 ystem testing technologies and methodologies. The event will include an op
 ening talk focused on current HPC system testing topics, followed by a ser
 ies of paper presentations from peer-reviewed accepted submissions, and co
 ncluding with a panel discussion.\n\nPanel Discussion\n\nNick Hagerty (Oak
  Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)), Brian Homerding (Argonne National Labo
 ratory (ANL)), Dan Dietz (Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)), Benjamin

 ----------\nTesting and Benchmarking Emerging Supercomputers via the MFC F
 low Solver\n\nDeploying new supercomputers requires testing and evaluation
  via application codes. Portable, user-friendly tools enable evaluation, a
 nd the Multicomponent Flow Code (MFC), a computational fluid dynamics (CFD
 ) code, addresses this need. MFC is adorned with a toolchain that automate
 s input generation...\n\n\nBenjamin Wilfong, Anand Radhakrishnan, Henry Le

 r Distributed Filesystems: A Ceph Case Study\n\nDistributed Filesystems (D
 FS) are a crucial component of modern computing environments, and their pe
 rformance is critical to the success of all the facilities that rely on th
 em. However, predicting\nthe DFS I/O performance solely based on the stora
 ge system hardware is not trivial.\nIn this paper, we ...\n\n\nNiccolo Tos

 xperiences Integrating Database Support into the OLCF Test Harness\n\nIn 2
 005, the U.S. Department of Energy created the Oak Ridge Leadership Comput
 ing Facility (OLCF) to deploy one-of-a-kind leadership computing resources
  for researchers across academia, industry, and government. These supercom
 puters are among the largest in the world and often diverge from conventio

 riments to operational prototypes that connect quantum accelerators with l
 eadership-class supercomputers. This talk reviews what has been achieved s
 o far like hybrid runtimes, middleware layers, and workflow orchestration 
 bridging H...\n\n\nLaura Schulz (Argonne National Laboratory (ANL))\n-----
