2nd Workshop on Performance Engineering and Applications (WPEA)

The workshop on performance engineering and applications (WPEA) aims at providing a platform for scientific researchers and practitioners to discuss performance engineering for real-world problems in parallel and distributed environments such as cluster, grid, peer-to peer network, GP-GPU, multi-core systems and clouds. The workshop offers an opportunity to discuss systems, architectures, tools, and optimization algorithms that are parallel in nature and hence make use of advancements in high performance computing. The workshop also offers an opportunity to discuss advanced methodologies, tools, techniques and algorithms to enhance performance for emerging applications. The applications intended for discussions are, but not limited to, bio-informatics, earth and climate sciences, physical sciences and engineering, telecommunication, finance etc. Various algorithms and optimization techniques that tend to bridge the gap between peak performance and sustained performance for various applications will be discussed.

Topics

• Performance Engineering - standard practices and emerging trends
• Systems and tools for architecture, code, and platform optimization in performance engineering.
• System software, tools, techniques, algorithms and methodologies for performance engineering.
• Algorithms for performance engineering Automation of optimization techniques, machine learning for optimization.
• Workload characterization and emerging applications: bio-informatics, finance, molecular dynamics, fluid dynamics, telecommunication, weather modeling, astrophysics, clinical, scripting languages, runtime environment, big data, data analytics etc.
