	Topic 2: Performance Evaluation, Analysis, and Optimization
		  http://europar.man.ac.uk/topics/02.html

			     Manchester, U.K.
			  August 28th-31st, 2001


Euro-Par is well established as the premier European Conference on all
aspects of parallel computing.  Euro-Par 2001 is organised as a number of
parallel workshops on topics relevant to the major themes of the conference.

TOPIC DESCRIPTION

The performance of parallel and distributed systems and applications - its
evaluation, analysis, and optimization - is at once a fundamental topic for
research investigation and a technological problem that requires
innovations in tools and techniques to keep pace with system and
application evolution. This dual view of performance "science" and
performance "technology" jointly spans broad fields of performance
modeling, evaluation, instrumentation, measurement, analysis, monitoring,
optimization, and prediction. The workshop welcomes contributions devoted
to any of these areas, covering all aspects of methods, models, techniques,
tools, implementation, and process. Of particular interest are papers that
are more integrative, combining capabilities across areas, as well as ones
that support more intelligent or automated strategies for analysis and
tuning.

FOCUS

* predictive performance models
* evaluation and benchmarking
* performance instrumentation
* measurement and monitoring
* performance data analysis and visualization
* tracing and trace analysis
* performance-oriented application development
* system and hardware monitoring
* performance tuning
* integrated performance tool environments
* automatic performance analysis
