PMBS12 - Call For Papers<br>
<br>
This workshop is concerned with the comparison of high-performance<br>
computing systems through performance modeling, benchmarking or the<br>
use of tools such as simulators. We are particularly interested in<br>
research which reports the ability to measure and make tradeoffs in<br>
software/hardware co-design to improve sustained application<br>
performance. We are also keen to capture the assessment of future<br>
systems, for example through work that ensures continued application<br>
scalability through peta- and exa-scale systems.<br>
<br>
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, from<br>
industry and academia, concerned with the qualitative and quantitative<br>
evaluation and modeling of high-performance computing systems. Authors<br>
are invited to submit novel research in all areas of performance<br>
modeling, benchmarking and simulation, and we welcome research that<br>
brings together current theory and practice. We recognize that the<br>
coverage of the term 'performance' has broadened to include power<br>
consumption and reliability, and that performance modeling is<br>
practiced through analytical methods and approaches based on software<br>
tools and simulators.<br>
<br>
Workshop Focus<br>
<br>
We encourage submissions in the following areas:<br>
<br>
- Performance modeling, analysis, and prediction of applications and<br>
high-performance computing systems;<br>
- Novel techniques and tools for performance evaluation and prediction;<br>
- Advanced simulation techniques and tools;<br>
- Micro-benchmarking, application benchmarking and tracing;<br>
- Performance-driven code optimization and scalability analysis;<br>
- Verification and validation of performance models;<br>
- Benchmarking and performance analysis of novel hardware;<br>
- Performance concerns in software/hardware co-design;<br>
- Tuning and auto-tuning of HPC applications and algorithms;<br>
- Benchmark suites;<br>
- Performance visualization;<br>
- Real-world case studies.<br>
<br>
Work which examines related topics will also be considered.<br>

<br>
Authors are invited to submit full papers with unpublished, original<br>
work of not more than 10 pages of double column text using single<br>
spaced fonts on pages of 8.5 x 11 inches (this limit includes all<br>
figures, content etc but does not include references). The paper<br>
should be formatted to use the IEEE manuscript guidelines available<br>
at: <a href="http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html" target="_blank">http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html</a><br>
<br>
A separate Late-Breaking Research and Preliminary Techniques stream is<br>
also available for authors to submit 4-page papers describing initial<br>
research or early first-of-a-kind results (this page limit does not<br>
include references but includes all technical content and figures).<br>
These papers will be presented in a dedicated, interactive session at<br>
PMBS12 enabling open discussion with industry and domain experts.<br>
All accepted papers (subject to post-review revisions) will be<br>
published in the IEEE digital library as part of the SC12 proceedings.<br>
<br>
Authors of selected papers will also be invited to submit revised<br>
manuscripts for inclusion in special issues of The Computer Journal<br>
and IEEE Computer Architecture Letters.<br>
<br>
Papers should be submitted using EasyChair at:<br>
