This workshop focuses on bringing together researchers to exchange ideas on the measurement of system performance. A system is loosely defined as a group of interacting mechanisms to accomplish tasks. This may include conventional system areas including computer and networking systems but we also encourage submissions in other areas where performance analysis is tedious, complicated or ambiguous. We aim to assemble a program that covers a wide variety of techniques and perspectives in assessing and analyzing performance. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Software instrumentation
- Static software profiling
- Runtime software profiling
- Hardware performance counters
- Dynamic binary instrumentation
- Leveraging hardware virtualization technology
- Architecture analysis using benchmarks
- Novel uses of available performance analysis tools
- Measurement frameworks
- Evaluating performance on heterogeneous platforms
- Tuning applications to specific architectures
- Evaluating effectiveness of compiler options
- Methodologies for choosing tuning parameters
- Evaluating performance with architecture emulators, and simulators
- Development of benchmarks
- Proposing and evaluating performance metrics
- Measurement methodologies
- Automating performance analysis
- Performance of whole systems
- Identifying performance bottlenecks
- Comparisons of performance analysis approaches
- Evaluation of accuracy and precision of measurement techniques
One area we feel is lacking in the research community is venues to share ideas in the development and use of tools, frameworks and measurement methodologies used in research experiments for performance analysis. Specifically in systems areas, large frameworks are necessary to conduct research. We are looking for papers that share the how-to details of constructing these complicated infrastructures to help generate a public discussion on what available frameworks are lacking. We hope to provide researchers with common needs the initiative to collaborate on developing new tools for widespread use.
Submissions
We request papers to be submitted in PDF form using the IEEE standard two column format and not exceeding 8 pages in length. Papers will be reviewed by the committee for quality and relevance.
Submissions should be made by attaching the PDF document to an email addressed to timers@iastate.edu which should include the following information for each author:
- Name
- Affiliation
- Address
- Telephone number
- Email address
The author in charge of correspondence should be specified.

- VM performance tools for tracing, profiling, and simulation
- VM benchmarking and performance metrics
- Workload characterization in a virtualized environment
- Evaluation of resource scheduling
- Models and metrics for new VM usages
- VM energy and power modeling
Submission
Authors are requested to submit unpublished papers of no more than 10 pages in pdf
format. Each paper will be reviewed by several PC members for quality and relevance.
Each submission should contain the author names, affiliation and contact information:
- email address
- phone
- mailing address
Papers should be sent as an attachment to:
