AI agents are starting to do scientific work: finding data, running tools and producing results. That raises systems questions. Does a workflow of agents recover when one of them makes a mistake? How does an agent find the right file? Can storage use the time an agent spends thinking? GRC students answered all three in papers at IEEE eScience 2026, along with a fourth on in situ analysis, and a fifth paper at PACT 2026 addressed transformers on GPUs.

Two papers with GRC authors appeared at the 35th International Symposium on High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC 2026), held in Cleveland from July 13 to 16. PKAS, which Jie Ye presented on July 14, schedules LLM inference by predicting how much KV cache memory each request will need. Metis, in the REX-IO workshop, uses LLM agents to explain what HPC I/O functions do.
