WORKSHOP SCOPE AND TOPIC

High performance computing (HPC) is no longer confined to universities and national research laboratories, it is increasingly used in industry and in the cloud. Users need to be able to evaluate what benefits HPC can bring to their companies, what type of computational resources would be best for their workloads and how they can evaluate what they should pay for these resources. Recent general adoption of machine learning has motivated migration of HPC workloads to cloud data centers, and there is a growing interest by the community in performance evaluation in this area, especially for end-to-end workflows. Benchmarking has typically involved running specific workloads that are reflective of typical HPC workloads, yet with the growing diversity of workloads, theoretical performance modeling is also of interest to allow for performance prediction given a minimal set of measurements. The workshop will be composed of submitted papers, invited talks, and a panel composed of representatives from the industry.

------------Topics------------

We invite novel, unpublished research paper submission within the scope of this workshop. Paper submission topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas: * Multi-, many-core CPUs, GPUs, hybrid system evaluation * Performance, power, efficiency, and cost analysis * HPC, data center, and cloud workloads and benchmarks * System, workload, and workflow configuration and optimization

SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit work as regular paper (up to 8 pages including references). All papers must be prepared in ACM Conference Format using the 2-column acmart format and SIGPLAN proceedings templatem, available at the following url:

https://www.sigplan.org/sites/default/files/acmart/current/acmart-sigplanproc-template.tex

The submitted work shall be in the English language, not be under consideration elsewhere, and will be peer-reviewed by the technical program committee (TPC). The submitted manuscripts should not include author names and affiliations, as a double-blind review process will be followed.

All submissions must be made electronically through the submission site:

PROCEEDINGS

All accepted papers will be indexed and published in the ACM Digital Library after the workshop.
