RM-HPC-QC: Resource Management in HPC-QC Environments

Quantum computing emerges as a transformative complement to high-performance computing, creating new challenges and opportunities for resource management across heterogeneous infrastructures. This Special Session seeks original contributions on methods, models, and systems that improve the scheduling, orchestration, allocation, and execution of workloads in environments where classical HPC resources and quantum processors must coexist and cooperate.

We invite papers that address the practical and theoretical aspects of managing HPC-QC environments, including hybrid workload scheduling, resource-aware middleware, performance modeling, latency-aware orchestration, fault tolerance, energy efficiency, and cloud or on-premises integration. The session also welcomes work on benchmarking, runtime systems, workload characterization, and the design of scalable frameworks for hybrid quantum-classical applications.

This Special Session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from HPC, quantum computing, distributed systems, and systems software to discuss current challenges and share solutions for efficient and reliable resource management in nextgeneration computing infrastructures. Contributions that present novel algorithms, experimental platforms, case studies, or early-stage research are encouraged, especially those that can help define best practices for hybrid HPC-QC deployment and operation.
