================================================================================ PMBS 2021 :: Call for Papers 12th International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Benchmarking and Simulation of High Performance Computer Systems held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM SC21, St. Louis, MO, November 2021 http://www.pmbsworkshop.org ================================================================================ The PMBS21 workshop is concerned with the comparison of high-performance computer systems through performance modeling, benchmarking or through the use of tools such as simulators. We are particularly interested in research which reports the ability to measure and make trade-offs 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. We encourage submissions in the following areas: * Performance modeling, analysis, and prediction of applications and HPC 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 * Studies of heterogeneous architectures and many-core accelerators Work which examines similar topics will also be considered. === Submission Guidelines === Authors are invited to submit full papers with unpublished, original work. Submissions are limited to 10 pages using 10pt fonts in the IEEE format. The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and your appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit. Reproducibility initiative dependencies (Artifact Description or Computational Results Analysis) are also not included in the 10-page limit. A separate Late-Breaking Research and Preliminary Techniques stream is also available for authors to submit 5-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). === SC Transparency and Reproducibility Initiative === In line with the main Supercomputing conference, authors are asked to provide an artifact description and an artifact evaluation appendix along with their paper, describing the details of their software environments and computational experiments to the extent that an independent person could replicate their results. === Important Dates === August 25th 2021 (23:59 AoE) - Full Paper Submissions September 29th 2021 - Full Paper Notifications September 22nd 2021 (23:59 AoE) - Late Breaking and Short Paper Submissions October 6th 2021 - Late Breaking and Short Paper Notifications October 13th 2021 - Camera Ready Papers Due November 2021 - PMBS21 Workshop === More Information === For more information consult the PMBS Workshop homepage at: http://www.pmbsworkshop.org -- Dr. Steven Wright Lecturer, Department of Computer Science University of York, UK Tel: +44 (0)1904 325 583 Email disclaimer
