CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2018 IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON WORKLOAD CHARACTERIZATION will
be held in Raleigh, North Carolina between September 30th and October
2nd, 2018. We solicit papers in all areas related to characterization of
computing system workloads. Topics of interest include (but are not
limited to)-
–Characterization of applications in
domains including memory, storage and file systems, cyber physical
systems, pervasive computation and Internet of Things (IoTs), search
engines, e-commerce, web services, databases, file/application servers,
embedded, mobile, multimedia, real time, 3D-graphics, gaming,
Blockchain, life sciences, bioinformatics, scientific computing,
finance, forecasting, machine learning, analytics, data mining,
security, reliability, biometrics, cloud and edge computing, user
behavior and system user interaction.
–Emerging workloads and architectures such
as Transactional memory workloads, workloads for multi/many core
systems, Stream based computing workloads, web/internet workloads,
cyber-physical workloads, Near data processing architectures, Quantum
computations and communication, Near-threshold computation and
Non-volatile memory.
–Implications of workloads in design issues such as Power management,
reliability, security, performance, Processors, memory hierarchy, I/O,
and networks, Design of accelerators, FPGAs, GPUs, CGRAs, etc and Novel
architectures (non Von Neumann).
–Benchmark creation and evaluation,
including Multithreaded benchmarks, benchmark cloning, Profiling, trace
collection, synthetic traces, Validation of benchmarks.
–Characterization of OS, Virtual Machine, middleware and library
behavior including Virtual machines, .NET, Java VM, databases, Graphics
libraries, scientific libraries, Operating system and hypervisor effects
and overheads.
–Measurement tools and techniques,
including Instrumentation methodologies for workload verification and
characterization, Techniques for accurate analysis/measurement of
production systems, Analytical and abstract modeling of program behavior
and systems.
