[hpc-announce] [Extended Deadline] CFP for BID'24 at ICPE’24 Final DL (15. Feb); Remote presentation possible

[Tom Lin]

WORKSHOP SCOPE AND TOPIC

Recent general adoption of AI and machine learning has motivated migration of HPC workloads to cloud data centres, and there is a growing interest by the community on performance evaluation in this area, especially for end-to-end workflows. In addition to traditional performance benchmarking and high performance system evaluation (including absolute performance, energy efficiency), as well as configuration optimizations, this workshop will discuss issues that are of particular importance in commercial HPC. Benchmarking has typically involved running specific workloads that are reflective
of typical HPC workloads, yet with growing diversity of workloads, theoretical performance modelling is also of interest to allow for performance prediction given a minimal set of measurements.

We invite novel, unpublished research paper submission within the scope of this workshop.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, accelerators, heterogeneous system evaluation
  * Performance, power, efficiency, and cost analysis
  * HPC, data centre, and cloud workloads and benchmarks
  * System, workload, topology, and workflow configuration/optimization


SUBMISSIONS

* Full papers: Up to 8 pages incl. references. (Inclusion of artefact evaluation/description appendix is encouraged and does not count towards the page limit.)
* Submission details and the link to the submission website are posted on our workshop website https://parallel.computer/


PROCEEDINGS

All accepted papers will be indexed and published in the ACM Digital Library after the workshop as part of the ICPE’24’s workshop track.


SCHEDULE

  * Submission deadline:   15.   February 2024 (23:59 AoE)
  * Author notification:   1.    March 2024
  * Camera ready deadline: 7.    March 2024    (23:59 AoE)
  * Workshop date:         7-11. May 2024


ATTENDING

BID’24 is part of the workshop track of ICPE’24 (https://icpe2024.spec.org). We will support presenters with travel restrictions by setting up a way to present remotely. However, regular registration fees, as stated on the ICPE website, will still apply.
