Topics of Interest

  • Performance and efficiency (power, area, etc.) evaluation methodologies
    • Analytical modeling
    • Statistical approaches
    • Tracing and profiling tools
    • Simulation techniques
    • Hardware (e.g., FPGA) accelerated simulation
    • Hardware performance counter architectures
    • Power, temperature, variability and/or reliability models for computer systems
    • Microbenchmark-based hardware analysis techniques
  • Foundations of performance and efficiency analysis
    • Metrics
    • Bottleneck identification and analysis
    • Visualization
  • Efficiency and performance analysis of commercial and experimental hardware
    • Multi-threaded, multicore and many-core architectures
    • Accelerators and graphics processing units
    • Memory systems, including storage-class memory
    • Embedded and mobile systems
    • Enterprise systems and data centers
    • HPC and Supercomputers
    • Computer networks
    • Quantum computing
    • Emerging technologies
  • Efficiency and performance analysis of emerging workloads and software
    • Software written in managed languages
    • Virtualization and consolidation workloads
    • Datacenter, internet-sector workloads

In addition to research papers, ISPASS welcomes tool and benchmark paper submissions. The conference is an ideal forum to introduce new tools and benchmarks to the community. These papers, which can detail tools and benchmarks in the above fields of interest, will be judged primarily on their potential to enable and amplify future research, which should be clearly motivated in the paper. We expect authors of accepted tools/benchmark papers to open-source their tool/benchmark before the conference.
