1st Workshop on Performance Analysis of Big data Systems (PABS)
to be held in conjunction with
International conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE)-2015
Scope of the workshop:
The workshop on performance analysis of big data systems (PABS) aims at providing a platform for scientific researchers, academicians and practitioners to discuss techniques, models, benchmarks, tools and experiences while dealing with performance issues in big data systems. The primary objective is to discuss performance bottlenecks and improvements during big data analysis using different paradigms, architectures and technologies such as Map-Reduce, MPP, Big Table, NOSQL, graph based models ( e.g. Pregel, giraph ) and any other new upcoming paradigms. We propose to use this platform as an opportunity to discuss systems, architectures, tools, and optimization algorithms that are parallel in nature and hence make use of advancements to improve the system performance. This workshop shall focus on the performance challenges imposed by big data systems and on the different state-of-the-art solutions proposed to overcome these challenges.
Topics:
All novel performance analysis or prediction techniques, benchmarks, architectures, models and tools for data-intensive computing system for optimizing application performance on cutting-edge high performance solutions are of interest to the workshop. Examples of topics include but not limited to:
Performance analysis and optimization of Big data systems and technologies.
Case studies/ Benchmarks to optimize/evaluate performance of Big data applications/systems and Big data workload characterizations.
Tools or models to identify performance bottlenecks and /or predict performance metrics in Big data
Performance analysis while querying, visualization and processing of large network datasets on clusters of multicore, many core processors, and accelerators.
Performance issues in heterogeneous computing for Big data architectures.
Analysis of Big data applications in science, engineering, finance, business, healthcare and telecommunication etc.
Data structure and algorithms for performance optimizations in big data systems.
