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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop Organizers Dan Reed (National Center for Supercomputing Applications) Celso Mendes (University of Illinois, Dep.
