Workshop on Large-Scale System and Application Performance

                          (LSAP2010)

in conjunction with the 19-th International Symposium on High
Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC-19)

      Chicago, USA, June 21, 2010     http://www.lsap2010.org


MISSION

Over the last decade, computer systems and applications in everyday use
have grown to unprecedented scales. Large clusters serving millions of
search requests per day, grids executing large workflows and parameter
sweeps consisting of thousands of jobs, and supercomputers running
complex e-science applications, have now hundreds of thousands of
processing cores, and clouds are quickly emerging as a large-scale
computing infrastructure.
In addition, peer-to-peer systems and centralized video distribution
systems that dominate the internet, online social networks, and
complicated internet applications such as massive multiplayer online
games are used by millions of people every day.

In view of this tremendous growth, understanding the performance of
large-scale computer systems and applications has become vital to
institutional, commercial, and private interests. This workshop solicits
original papers on performance evaluation methods, tools, and case
studies *explicitly focusing on the challenges of large scale*, such as
decentralization, predictable performance, reliability, and scalability.
It aims to bring together system designers and researchers involved with
the modeling and performance evaluation of large-scale systems and
applications.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Performance aspects of large-scale systems
- Performance aspects of large-scale applications
- Performance-oriented properties such as availability, reliability,
   and scalability
- Workload characterization and modeling
- Mathematical modeling and analysis methods
- Simulation methods and tools
- Measurement methods and tools
- Performance case studies


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submitted papers should be limited to 8 pages (including tables, images,

and references) and should be formatted according to the ACM SIGS Style.

Please use the Easychair submission site to submit your paper (see link
below); 
only pdf format is accepted. All papers will receive at least three
reviews.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register
or the workshop and present the paper. The authors of the best paper in
the 
workshop will receive a best-paper award.
