                   * Terascale Performance Analysis Workshop

                             June  2 - 4 , 2003

                            Melbourne - Australia

  In conjunction with ICCS'2003 - International Conference on Computational
                                   Science

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope

Terascale systems, composed of hundreds or thousands of processors, complex
interconnection networks, and large numbers of storage devices, pose
daunting problems for performance instrumentation, analysis, and
optimization. This workshop will explore approaches to application and
system measurement, performance diagnosis, and model construction. Those
approaches include tools or methodologies that advance the current state of
the art on how to achieve significant performance levels for scientific
applications on current terascale and future petascale systems. Hardware
performance measurements, instrumented libraries, and schemes for automatic
adaptation to changing system behavior will also be explored.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dan Reed  (National Center for Supercomputing Applications)
Celso Mendes  (University of Illinois, Dep. Computer Science)
Radha Nandkumar (National Center for Supercomputing Applications)
Rob Pennington (National Center for Supercomputing Applications)
John Towns (National Center for Supercomputing Applications)

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Call for Papers

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to, the
following:

   * Application performance measurement
   * Case studies in scaling applications to 1000+ processors
   * Measurement techniques applicable to large systems
   * Performance diagnosis and code tuning
   * Scalable performance models
   * Techniques to achieve scaling in real applications
   * Tools for efficient performance assessment
   * Use of hardware performance counters
   * Performance data reduction techniques
   * Instrumented libraries and utilities
   * Performance extrapolation and prediction
   * Automatic performance adaptation
   * Fault tolerance and checkpoint/restart strategies

Submissions are invited for work in these areas not published previously.
Every submission will be peer-reviewed. Submissions should be in PDF or
Postscript formats, and should not exceed ten printed pages in length,
including all sections. All submissions should be sent by e-mail to
cmendes@cs.uiuc.edu in a note under the subject "iccs03-terascale"; in this
note, please specify also the name/e-mail of the major contact author and of
the presenting author.

Accepted submissions will be presented at the workshop and will be
published, with other ICCS'2003 papers, in a special edition of Springer
Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). The final version of
accepted papers should conform to the LNCS guidelines.
