PMBS12 - Call For Papers

This workshop is concerned with the comparison of high-performance
computing systems through performance modeling, benchmarking or the
use of tools such as simulators. We are particularly interested in
research which reports the ability to measure and make tradeoffs in
software/hardware co-design to improve sustained application
performance. We are also keen to capture the assessment of future
systems, for example through work that ensures continued application
scalability through peta- and exa-scale systems.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, from
industry and academia, concerned with the qualitative and quantitative
evaluation and modeling of high-performance computing systems. Authors
are invited to submit novel research in all areas of performance
modeling, benchmarking and simulation, and we welcome research that
brings together current theory and practice. We recognize that the
coverage of the term 'performance' has broadened to include power
consumption and reliability, and that performance modeling is
practiced through analytical methods and approaches based on software
tools and simulators.

Workshop Focus

We encourage submissions in the following areas:

- Performance modeling, analysis, and prediction of applications and
high-performance computing systems;
- Novel techniques and tools for performance evaluation and prediction;
- Advanced simulation techniques and tools;
- Micro-benchmarking, application benchmarking and tracing;
- Performance-driven code optimization and scalability analysis;
- Verification and validation of performance models;
- Benchmarking and performance analysis of novel hardware;
- Performance concerns in software/hardware co-design;
- Tuning and auto-tuning of HPC applications and algorithms;
- Benchmark suites;
- Performance visualization;
- Real-world case studies.

Work which examines related topics will also be considered.

Important Dates and Submission Instructions:

- September 9th 2012 (23:59 PST) - Full Paper Submissions
- September 30th 2012 - Full Paper Notification of Acceptance
- October 10th 2012 (23:59 PST) - Late Breaking Research Submissions
- October 17th 2012 - Late Breaking Research Notification of Acceptance
- November 12th 2012 - PMBS12 Workshop

Authors are invited to submit full papers with unpublished, original
work of not more than 10 pages of double column text using single
spaced fonts on pages of 8.5 x 11 inches (this limit includes all
figures, content etc but does not include references). The paper
should be formatted to use the IEEE manuscript guidelines available
at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

A separate Late-Breaking Research and Preliminary Techniques stream is
also available for authors to submit 4-page papers describing initial
research or early first-of-a-kind results (this page limit does not
include references but includes all technical content and figures).
These papers will be presented in a dedicated, interactive session at
PMBS12 enabling open discussion with industry and domain experts.
All accepted papers (subject to post-review revisions) will be
published in the IEEE digital library as part of the SC12 proceedings.

Authors of selected papers will also be invited to submit revised
manuscripts for inclusion in special issues of The Computer Journal
and IEEE Computer Architecture Letters.

Papers should be submitted using EasyChair at:
