The IEEE International Symposium on Performance Analysis of Systems and Software provides a forum for sharing advanced academic and industrial research work focused on performance analysis in the design of computer systems and software. Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the conference. Papers are solicited in fields that include the following:
Performance evaluation methodologies
o Analytical modeling
o Statistical approaches
o Tracing and profiling tools
o Simulation techniques
o Hardware (e.g., FPGA) accelerated simulation
o Hardware performance counter architectures
o Techniques for modeling power/reliability of computer systems
Performance analysis
o Performance metrics
o Bottleneck identification and analysis
o Visualization
Performance analysis of commercial and experimental hardware
o General-purpose microprocessors
o Multi-threaded, multi-core and many-core architectures
o Accelerators and graphics processing units
o Embedded and mobile systems
o Enterprise systems and data centers
o Supercomputers
o Computer networks
Performance analysis of emerging workloads and software
o Software written in managed languages
o Virtualization and consolidation workloads
o Internet-sector workloads
o Embedded, multimedia, games, telepresence
o Bioinformatics, life sciences, security, biometrics
Application and system code tuning and optimization
Confirmations or refutations of important prior results
Next to research papers, we also welcome tool papers in order to reward tool-building effort and publicize new tools to the community. Tool papers will be judged more so on their potentially wide impact and use than on their research contribution. Tools in any of the above fields of interest are eligible.
Full submissions due: October 2, 2009
Rebuttal: December 4-5, 2009
Notification of acceptance: December 19, 2009
Final paper due: January 29, 2010
