Track 6: Performance Monitoring, Modeling, Analysis, and Benchmarking

Performance is a key challenge in cloud, cluster, and Internet computing infrastructure. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Performance metrics and models: Performance in broad sense, performance, elasticity, efficiency, wear. Model construction and validation, modeling formalisms, model inference. Models in the loop.
• Analysis of system or application performance: Exploration techniques, performance testing, statistical and machine learning approaches. Anomaly detection. Visualization.
• Monitoring and evaluation tools: Introspection techniques, accuracy and overhead, continuous data collection, profiling. Cloud-native performance tools.
• Performance management: Resource accounting and scheduling. Automated data and code placement. Handling performance anomalies, system resiliency and adaptivity.
• Performance benchmarking: Workload characterization. Black box platform benchmarking. Scalability. Reproducibility. Research and evaluation datasets.
• Systems performance: Performance in cloud, edge and fog systems. Serverless performance. Emerging systems for machine learning, AI, and quantum computing. Disaggregated storage and memory. Accelerators.
