ISPASS 2012 - 2012 International Symposium on Performance Analysis of Systems and Software (ISPASS)

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 Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for possible presentation at the conference.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:
Power/Performance 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/Reliability models for computer systems

Power/Performance analysis
o Metrics
o Bottleneck identification and analysis
o Visualization
Power/Performance analysis of commercial and experimental hardware

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

Power/Performance analysis of emerging workloads and software

Software written in managed languages
Virtualization and consolidation workloads
Internet-sector workloads
Embedded, multimedia, games, telepresence
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 primarily on their potentially wide impact and use than on their research contribution. Tools in any of the above fields of interest are eligible.
