CALL FOR PAPERS

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 Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the conference.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 and power 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, and other modern relevant metrics for computer systems

• Performance and power analysis

o Performance and power metrics
o Bottleneck identification and analysis
o Visualization

• Performance and power analysis of commercial and experimental hardware

o General-purpose microprocessors
o Multi-threaded, multi-core and many-core architectures
o Memory and storage systems
o Accelerators and graphics processing units
o Embedded and mobile systems
o Enterprise systems and data centers
o Supercomputers
o Computer networks

• Performance and power 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

In addition to research papers, we also welcome tool papers. The conference is an ideal forum to 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.

We also welcome papers that evaluate novel ideas and optimizations for computer systems. For serious consideration, such papers must provide insight, analysis, and conclusions that promote the community's understanding of the system itself and not just that of the specific optimization being considered.
 

A Best Paper award will be presented at the conference.
