PMBS 2026 :: Call for Papers

17th International Workshop on Performance Modeling,
Benchmarking and Simulation of High Performance Computer Systems (PMBS26)

held in conjunction with IEEE/ACM SC26, Chicago, IL, USA,
November 15, 2026

===============================================================================

The PMBS26 workshop is concerned with the comparison of high-performance
computer systems through performance modeling, benchmarking or through the use
of tools such as simulators.

We are particularly interested in research which reports the ability to measure
and make trade-offs in software/hardware co-design to improve sustained
application performance. We are also keen to capture the assessment of future
systems, for example through work that ensures continued application
scalability through peta- and exa-scale systems.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, from industry and
academia, concerned with the qualitative and quantitative evaluation and
modeling of high-performance computing systems. Authors are invited to submit
novel research in all areas of performance modeling, benchmarking and
simulation, and we welcome research that brings together current theory and
practice. We recognize that the coverage of the term performance has broadened
to include power consumption and reliability, and that performance modeling is
practiced through analytical methods and approaches based on software tools and
simulators.

We encourage submissions in the following areas:

 * Performance modeling, analysis, and prediction of applications and
   high-performance computing systems
 * Novel techniques and tools for performance evaluation and prediction
 * Advanced simulation techniques and tools
 * Micro-benchmarking, application benchmarking and tracing
 * Performance-driven code optimization and scalability analysis
 * Verification and validation of performance models
 * Benchmarking and performance analysis of novel hardware
 * Performance concerns in software/hardware co-design
 * Tuning and auto-tuning of HPC applications and algorithms
 * Benchmark suites
 * Performance visualization
 * Real-world case studies
 * Studies of heterogeneous architectures and many-core accelerators

Work which examines similar topics will also be considered.
