High performance computing (HPC) is no longer confined to universities and national research laboratories, it is increasingly used in industry and in the cloud. Users need to be able to evaluate what benefits HPC can bring to their companies, what type of computational resources would be best for their workloads and how they can evaluate what they should pay for these resources. Recent general adoption of machine learning has motivated migration of HPC workloads to cloud data centers, and there is a growing interest by the community in performance evaluation in this area, especially for end-to-end workflows. Benchmarking has typically involved running specific workloads that are reflective of typical HPC workloads, yet with the growing diversity of workloads, theoretical performance modeling is also of interest to allow for performance prediction given a minimal set of measurements. The workshop will be composed of submitted papers, invited talks, and a panel composed of representatives from the industry.
This workshop is held in conjustion with PPoPP 2021.
Topics:
We invite novel, unpublished research paper submission within the scope of this workshop. Paper submission topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Multi-, many-core CPUs, GPUs, hybrid system evaluation
- Performance, power, efficiency, and cost analysis
- HPC, data center, and cloud workloads and benchmarks
- System, workload, and workflow configuration and optimization
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers: Up to 10 pages (not including references)
- Short papers: Up to 5 pages (including references)
All submissions must be made electronically through the submission site in PDF format, printable on both A4 and US letter size paper. All papers must be prepared in ACM Conference Format using the 2-column acmart format: use the SIGPLAN proceedings template acmart-sigplanproc-template.tex for Latex, and interim-layout.docx for Word. You may also want to consult the official ACM information on the Master Article Template and related tools. Important note: The Word template (interim-layout.docx) on the ACM website uses 9pt font; you need to increase it to 10pt.
Paper text typeface should be no smaller than 10 point. References must include the name of all authors (not {et al.}), and there is no page limit for references in full paper submissions. Appendices are not allowed, but the authors may provide supplementary material (proofs or source code etc.) to the Program Chairs. Review of supplementary material is at the discretion of the reviewers; papers must be complete and self-contained.
Submission is double blind and authors will need to identify any potential conflicts of interest with PC and Extended Review Committee members, as defined here: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Review/ (ACM SIGPLAN policy).
