CALL FOR PAPERS

The 7th Special Session on High Performance Computing for Application Benchmarking and Optimization (HPBench 2020) As part of the International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2020) http://hpcs2020.cisedu.info/ or http://conf.cisedu.info/rp/hpcs20

Barcelona, Spain

==========================================================================

The Special Session on Compiler Architecture, Design and Optimization provides a premier venue to bring together systems researchers working on compiler architecture, design and code optimization of high performance computing systems, particularly for many-core, GPU, and accelerators. The track spans the spectrum from compiler performance to energy optimization, and from purely static to fully dynamic approaches.

IMPORTANT DATES : Papers Due: 1 July 2020 Author Notification: 22 July 2020 Camera-Ready Submission: 3 August 2020 Conference Dates: 26-30 October 2020

TOPICS : The HPBench topics of interest include, but are not limited to -Open Platforms for Parallel and Distributed Application Benchmarking and Optimization -Benchmarking on the Cloud -Benchmarking of Clusters, Supercomputers, and large-scale systems -Benchmarking the Performance of I/O -Benchmarking of Energy and Energy Efficiency -Benchmarking Web Services -Virtualization for Distributed Benchmarking -Data Distribution for Benchmarking -Performance results of benchmarks on modern platforms -Scalability Aspects of Benchmarking Parallel Applications on Parallel and Distributed Systems -Benchmarking of Parallel Scientific and Business Applications -Performance of Benchmarking Applications (Eg: NAS parallel benchmarks) -Techniques, frameworks and results concerning the benchmarking of library packages -Tools and frameworks for performance modeling systems and applications -Tools and frameworks for simulation, measurement and monitoring -Performance Measurements, Monitoring, Modeling and Simulation -Domain-specific benchmarks and applications (such as image processing, pattern recognition, cryptography, biometrics, differential equation solvers, signal processing and alike) -Mathematical Foundations of Benchmarking, Metrics and Heuristics
