Special Issue on the 8th International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Benchmarking and Simulation of High Performance Computing Systems (PMBS 2017)

摘要

This volume contains the 13 papers that were presented at the 8th International Workshop on Performance Modeling, Benchmarking, and Simulation of High Performance Computing Systems (PMBS 2017), which was held as part of the 29th ACM/IEEE International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC 2017) at the Colorado Convention Centre in Denver between 12-17 November 2017. SC offers a vibrant technical program, which includes technical papers, tutorials in advanced areas, Birds of a Feather sessions (BoFs), panel debates, a doctoral showcase, and a number of technical workshops in specialist areas (of which PMBS is one). The focus of PMBS is comparing high performance computing systems through performance modeling, benchmarking, or the use of tools such as simulators. Contributions are sought in areas including: performance modeling and analysis 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 novel hardware such as Intel's Knights Landing platform and NVIDIA Pascal GPUs.
