5th International Workshop on
Performance Modeling, Evaluation, and Optimization of
Parallel and Distributed Systems (PMEO-PDS
2006)
To be held in conjunction with IPDPS 2006
Supported by IEEE Computer Society in cooperation with ACM SIGARCH
April 29th, 2006
Rhodes Island, Greece
The performance modeling, evaluation, and optimization
of parallel, distributed, and grid systems have been an important research
topic over the past years and poses challenging problems that require new tools
and methods to keep up with the rapid evolution and increasing complexity of
such systems.
This workshop will bring together scientists,
engineers, practitioners, and computer users to share and exchange their
experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress
research on all aspects of performance modeling,
evaluation, and optimization of parallel, distributed, and grid systems. The
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Predictive performance models of parallel and
distributed systems
- Performance measurement and monitoring tools
- Tracing and trace analysis
- Simulation
- Analytical modeling
- Software tools for system performance and evaluation
- Automatic performance analysis
- Performance comparison
- Performance of memory and I/O interconnect
- Performance of communication networks
- Performance of mobile distributed systems
- Performance analysis and evaluation of parallel and
distributed applications
- Improvement in system performance through
optimization and tuning
- Case studies showing the role of evaluation in the
design of systems
