Abstract

The PMBS17 workshop is concerned with the comparison of<br>high&#8211;performance computing systems through performance modeling,<br>benchmarking or through the use of tools such as simulators&#046;<br>We are particularly interested in research which reports the<br>ability to measure and make tradeoffs in software/hardware<br>co&#8211;design to improve sustained application performance&#046; We are<br>also keen to capture the assessment of future systems, for<br>example through work that ensures continued application<br>scalability through peta&#8211; and exa&#8211;scale systems&#046;<br>The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, from<br>industry and academia, concerned with the qualitative and<br>quantitative evaluation and modeling of high&#8211;performance<br>computing systems&#046; Authors are invited to submit novel research<br>in all areas of performance modeling, benchmarking and<br>simulation, and we welcome research that brings together current<br>theory and practice&#046; We recognize that the coverage of the term<br>&#8242;performance&#8242; has broadened to include power consumption and<br>reliability, and that performance modeling is practiced through<br>analytical methods and approaches based on software tools and<br>simulators&#046;<br>Topics of Interest<br>We encourage submissions in the following areas:<br>&#8211; Performance modeling, analysis, and prediction of applications<br>and high&#8211;performance computing systems<br>&#8211; Novel techniques and tools for performance evaluation and<br>prediction<br>&#8211; Advanced simulation techniques and tools<br>&#8211; Micro&#8211;benchmarking, application benchmarking and tracing<br>&#8211; Performance&#8211;driven code optimization and scalability analysis<br>&#8211; Verification and validation of performance models<br>&#8211; Benchmarking and performance analysis of novel hardware<br>&#8211; Performance concerns in software/hardware co&#8211;design<br>&#8211; Tuning and auto&#8211;tuning of HPC applications and algorithms<br>&#8211; Benchmark suites<br>&#8211; Performance visualisation<br>&#8211; Real&#8211;world case studies<br>&#8211; Studies of novel hardware such as Intel Xeon Phi co&#8211;processor<br>technology, NVIDIA Kepler GPUs and AMD Fusion APU<br>
