MSPDS 2016 - International Workshop on Modeling and Simulation of Parallel and Distributed Systems (MSPDS 2016)

Large parallel systems have become mainstream of both commercial and scientific computing. Shared-memory systems with hundreds of processors are commercially available, while a new generation of massively parallel systems have pushed the limits of scalability to unprecedented levels. Designing and understanding these systems requires new simulation and modeling approaches that can be effective at those scales. New software- and hardware-based simulation techniques have been developed to cope with those challenges.
The goal of this workshop is to promote the discussion and presentation of new research and development in the area of simulation and modeling of large parallel and distributed systems. We encourage original contributions from work on the following areas:
MSPS Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to the following areas:
Parallel and Distributed Simulators
Hardware accelerators for simulating parallel systems
Bootstraping: Using a current generation system to design the next generation
Modeling and simulation at the data centers level
Use of reconfigurable logic for simulation of parallel systems
Parallel and Distributed Discrete-Event Simulation
Machine learning for developing models of parallel systems
New and novel approaches to modeling and simulation of large and complex systems
Modeling techniques, including reuse of models, modeling languages, agent-based M&S, and spatially explicit M&S
M&S to manage and/or optimize operational systems and methodological challenges arising from these applications such as online simulation, symbiotic simulation, dynamic data-driven, real-time and embedded simulation, and emulation of real systems.
