Workshop on Large-scale System and Application Performance

                           (LSAP2011)

in conjunction with the 20-th International ACM Symposium on
High-Performance Parallel and Distributed Computing (HPDC-20)

       San Jose, USA, June 8, 2011http://www.lsap2011.org


MISSION

Over the last decade, computer systems and applications in everyday use
have grown to unprecedented scales. Large clusters serving millions of
search requests per day, grids executing large workflows and parameter
sweeps consisting of thousands of jobs, and supercomputers running complex
e-science applications, have now hundreds of thousands of processing cores,
and clouds are quickly emerging as a large-scale computing infrastructure.
In addition, peer-to-peer systems and centralized video distribution
systems that dominate the internet, online social networks, and complicated
internet applications such as massive multiplayer online games are used by
millions of people every day.

In view of this tremendous growth, understanding the performance of
large-scale computer systems and applications has become vital to
institutional, commercial, and private interests. This workshop solicits
original papers on performance evaluation methods, tools, and case studies
*explicitly focusing on the challenges of large scale*, such as decentralization,
predictable performance, reliability, and scalability. It aims to bring
together system designers and researchers involved with the modeling and
performance evaluation of large-scale systems and applications.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Performance aspects of large-scale systems
- Performance aspects of large-scale applications
- Performance-oriented properties such as availability, reliability,
    and scalability
- Workload characterization and modeling
- Mathematical modeling and analysis methods
- Simulation methods and tools
- Measurement methods and tools
- Performance case studies
- Exascale and beyond


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submitted papers should be limited to 8 pages (including tables, images,
and references) and should be formatted according to the ACM SIG Style.
Please use the Linklings submission site to submit your paper (see link below);
only pdf format is accepted. All papers will receive at least three reviews.
