CALL FOR PAPERS
The 7th Special Session on High Performance Computing for
Application
Benchmarking and Optimization (HPBench 2020)
As part of the International Conference on High Performance
Computing &
Simulation (HPCS 2020)
http://hpcs2020.cisedu.info/ or
http://conf.cisedu.info/rp/hpcs20
Barcelona, Spain
==========================================================================
Benchmarking is an essential aspect of modern high performance
computing
and computational science, and as such, it provides a means for
quantifying
and comparing the performance of different computer systems. With
a
large combination of aspects to benchmark, all the way from the
capability
of a single core, to cluster configuration, and to various
software
configurations, the benchmarking process is more of an art than
science.
However, the results of this process drive modern science and are
vital for
the community to draw sensible conclusions on the performance of
applications and systems. This special session focuses on research
work
aimed at benchmarking modern parallel and distributed systems for
addressing a number of real world problems. As such, contributions
concerning the definition of new open platforms, new benchmarks to
match
modern architectural evolutions, studies on the aspects of
benchmarking
different aspects of systems (from raw runtime performance to
energy
consumption to energy consumed per data movement) and mathematical
foundations of benchmarking are sought.
