Fourth Annual Workshop on Modeling,
Benchmarking and Simulation MoBS 2008
Held in conjunction with the 35th
Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture
|
Updated! Advance Program Overview: With few exceptions, simulation is the quantitative foundation for virtually all computer architecture research and design projects – from microarchitectural exploration to hardware and software trade-offs to processor and system design. However, its continued efficacy is limited by the need to model or compensate for problems such as increasing complexity (e.g., multiple cores and peripherals), additional critical constraints (e.g., power consumption, reliability, etc.), an ever expanding design space, and benchmark suite quality and coverage. For those reasons, the goals of this workshop are to accelerate the development of technologies that are necessary to support the research of future generation architectures and to encourage the advancement of “under-researched” areas in computer architecture measurement. Accordingly, this workshop places a special premium on novelty and on preliminary work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Performance/energy/temperature/reliability measurement and analysis tools · New or efficient techniques to model performance, power, temperature, reliability, etc. · Simulation methodologies for multi-core and many-core architectures · Development of parameterizable, flexible benchmarks · Techniques to measure the characteristics (dissimilarity, coverage, etc.) of a benchmark suite ·

and statistical models This year, MoBS 2008 places a special emphasis on cutting-edge research on simulation tools, and modeling and benchmarking in emerging areas, such as FPGA-based simulation, security, process variation, 3D die stacking, synthetic benchmarks, transactional memory, virtualization, debugging, etc. Accepted workshop papers may be published in a special “Best of ISCA 2008 Workshops” issue. |
