ISPASS 2018 Call for Papers

The IEEE International Symposium on Performance Analysis of Systems and Software (ISPASS) provides a forum for sharing advanced academic and industrial research work focused on performance analysis in the design of computer systems and software. ISPASS 2018 will be held April 3 through 5, 2018 in Belfast, Northern Ireland (UK). Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the conference.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
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 power analysis
Metrics
Bottleneck identification and analysis
Visualization
Power and performance analysis of commercial and experimental hardware
Multithreaded, 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
Supercomputers
Computer networks
Power and performance analysis of emerging workloads and software
Software written in managed languages
Virtualization and consolidation workloads
Internet-sector workloads
Embedded, multimedia, games, telepresence
Deep learning and convolutional neural networks
Application and system code tuning and optimization
Confirmations or refutations of important prior results

In addition to research papers, ISPASS welcomes tools and benchmarks papers. The conference is an ideal forum to publicize new tools and benchmarks to the community. These papers, which can detail tools and benchmarks in any of the above fields of interest, will be judged primarily on their potential impact and use rather than on their research contribution.

See http://www.ispass.org for submission details.
