Topic 2: Performance and Power Modeling,Prediction and Evaluation

摘要

In recent years, a range of novel methods and tools have been developed for the evaluation, design, and modeling of parallel and distributed systems and applications. At the same time, the term 'performance' has broadened to also include scalability and energy efficiency, and touching reliability and robustness in addition to the classic resource-oriented notions.The papers submitted to this track represent researchers working on different aspects of performance modeling, evaluation, and prediction, be it for systems or for applications running on the whole range of parallel and distributed systems (multicore and heterogeneous architectures, HPC systems, grid and cloud contexts, etc.). The accepted papers present novel research in all areas of performance modeling, prediction, and evaluation, and to help bring together current theory and practice.The topic received 17 submissions, which were thoroughly reviewed by the 7 members of the track Program Committee and external reviewers. Out of all the submissions and after a careful and detailed discussion among committee members, we finally decided to accept 5 papers, resulting in a per-topic acceptance ratio of 29%.We would like to thank the authors for their submissions, the Euro-Par 2020 Organizing Committee for their help throughout all the process, and the Program Committee members and the reviewers for providing timely and detailed reviews as well as for participating in the discussion we carried on after the reviews were received.
