Meeting the performance, energy-efficiency, and resilience requirements
of systems and applications at all scales—from embedded to exascale—will
require rapid, accurate, and dynamic evaluations of trade-offs. To provide
these capabilities, significant advances in predictive modeling and
simulation methods are required. Models are key tools in the area of
application/system co-design. As applications and systems evolve, models
must be able to track complex changes, predicting the impact of design
choices for both hardware and software. While today’s methods tend to
focus on application performance as the primary metric of concern,
modeling methods must evolve to consider performance, power consumption,
and reliability in concert. It is critical to develop tools and techniques
that will allow modeling capability to spread into the larger computational
science community, where it will have the greatest possible impact.
Simulation and emulation capabilities also must expand along multiple
directions, including scalability improvements, interoperability, potential
additional dimensions for co-design (such as thermal), support for system
design (from embedded to the extreme scale), and interfaces with modeling
tools.

To promote such advancements, we are soliciting community input in the form
of abstracts that describe and/or propose new techniques and tools for the
co-design of performance, power, and reliability modeling and simulation for
extreme-scale computing. If accepted, the abstract’s author(s) will be
invited to offer presentations or posters at the 2015 ModSim Workshop.

Submitted abstracts must address the area of integrated modeling and
simulation of performance, power, and reliability of systems and applications.
To be considered for a paper or poster, novel techniques, ideas, and tools
described in the abstract must address unified modeling of, at least, two
aspects of the performance/power/reliability triad.

Submissions:

Abstracts should be no longer than 200 words. The ModSim Workshop Organizing
Committee will review these abstracts and invite selected contributors to
participate in the workshop to be held August 12-14, 2015 in Seattle,
Washington. Once extended, the invitation will specify whether a presentation
or poster is required. Responsive submissions will be made public via the
workshop website, and selected papers may be included in a post-workshop
proceedings (pending final publication decision).

Important Dates:

Submission Due Date: Monday, June 01, 2015.
Notification Date: Wednesday, July 01, 2015.
