Nowadays, complex systems of all types, like Web-based systems,= data centers and cloud infrastructures, social networks, peer-to-peer, mob= ile and wireless systems, cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, r= eal-time and embedded systems, have increasingly distributed and dynamic sy= stem architectures that provide high flexibility, however, also increase th= e complexity of managing end-to-end application performance. ICPE brings together researchers and industry practitioners to share and pr= esent their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art an= d in-progress research on performance engineering of software and systems, = including performance measurement, modeling, benchmark design, and run-time= performance management. The focus is both on classical metrics such as res= ponse time, throughput, resource utilization, and (energy) efficiency, as w= ell as on the relationship of such metrics to other system properties inclu= ding but not limited to scalability, elasticity, availability, reliability,= and security.=20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- PROGRAM ICPE'17 takes place from April 22 to 27, 2017.=20 The main conference runs from April 24 to 26, with a welcome reception on A= pril 24 and a banquet on April 25.=20 Tutorials are held on April 22 and 23, while workshops take place on April = 22, 23, and 27.=20 The preliminary program is available at https://icpe2017.spec.org/conferenc= e-program.html The following eight workshops will be held in conjunction with the main con= ference: - Saturday, April 22: -- ACPROSS: Autonomous Control for Performance and Reliability Trade-offs i= n Internet of Services -- PABS: Third International Workshop on Performance Analysis of Big Data S= ystems -- WOSP-C: Workshop on Challenges in Performance Methods for Software Devel= opment - Sunday, April 23: -- ENERGY-SIM: Third International Workshop on Energy-aware Simulation -- LTB: Sixth International Workshop on Load Testing and Benchmarking of So= ftware Systems -- MoLS: First International Workshop on Monitoring in Large-Scale Software= Systems -- WEPPE: Workshop on Education and Practice of Performance Engineering - Thursday, April 27: -- QUDOS: Third International Workshop on Quality-aware DevOps More information on the workshops can be found at https://icpe2017.spec.org= /conference-program/conference-workshops.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- REGISTRATION Registration is open!

Optimally configuri= ng storage is difficult because storage workloads are very diverse and chan= ge over time. Data centers measure running workloads, but this measurement = data stream is itself quite large. We present some real world case studies = in the use of big data techniques, sampling, and optimization to manage sto= rage in data centers. =20 Short bio: Arif Merchant is a Research Scientist at Google and leads the Storage Analy= tics group, which studies interactions between components of the storage st= ack. His interests include distributed storage systems, storage management,= and stochastic modeling. He holds the B.Tech. degree from IIT Bombay and t= he Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford University. He is an ACM Disting= uished Scientist. -------------------------------------- Francesco Quaglia (University of Rome "La Sapienza") Title: Performance is Also a Matter of Where You Live Abstract: Nowadays, a plethora of techniques and methods are available to optimize th= e runtime behavior of complex applications, ranging from modeling/predictio= n tools to the employment of recognized patterns and/or knowledge-bases on = the expected performance under specific workloads. However, in common scena= rios, the ultimate applications' behavior may depend on features that are s= carcely predictable or difficult to be taken into account when designing th= e applications and their own runtime optimizers. Among them, we mention the= actual structure of the underlying hardware and/or virtualized platforms, = as well as specific runtime dynamics such as thread correlation on data and= synchronization---not much the average behavior, rather punctual effects. = We believe that the environment where applications live, like operating sys= tems and user-space runtime libraries, play a central role in coping with t= hese features. We similarly believe that such environments must be re-stage= d so as to be actually effective in pursuing the performance optimization g= oal. In this talk, we discuss specific guidelines to re-stage the environme= nts, based on a real experience, and we point as well to challenges that ar= e still untackled and deserve attention by the research community. Short bio: Francesco Quaglia received the Laurea degree (MS level) in Electronic Engin= eering in 1995 and the PhD degree in Computer Engineering in 1999 from the = University of Rome ``La Sapienza''. From summer 1999 to summer 2000 he held= an appointment as a Researcher at the Italian National Research Council (C= NR). Since January 2005 he works as an Associate Professor at the School of= Engineering of the University of Rome ``La Sapienza", where he has previou= sly worked as an Assistant Professor since September 2000 to December 2004.= His main research interests are in the areas of high performance computing= , dependable computing, transactional systems, operating systems, automatic= code parallelization, performance analysis and optimization. Currently, he= is the director of the HPDCS (High Performance and Dependable Computing Sy= stems) Research Lab at the University of Rome ``La Sapienza''. -------------------------------------- Thomas Wuerthinger (Oracle Labs) Title: Micro-Benchmarking Considered Harmful Subtitle: When the Whole is Faster or Slower Than the Sum of its Parts Abstract: Measuring the time spent on small individual fractions of program code is a= common technique for analysing performance behavior and detecting performa= nce bottlenecks. The benefits of the approach include a detailed individual= attribution of performance and understandable feedback loops when experime= nting with different code versions. There are however severe pitfalls when = following this approach that can lead to vastly misleading results. Modern = optimizing compilers use complex optimization techniques that take a large = part of the program into account. There can be therefore unexpected side-ef= fects when combining different code snippets or even when running a presuma= bly unrelated part of the code. This talk will present performance paradoxe= s with examples from the domain of dynamic compilation of Java programs. Fu= rthermore, it will discuss an alternative approach to modelling code perfor= mance characteristics that takes the challenges of complex optimising compi= lers into account. Short Bio:=20 Thomas Wuerthinger is a Senior Research Director at Oracle Labs leading pro= gramming language implementation teams for languages including Java, JavaSc= ript, Ruby, and R. He is the architect of the Graal compiler and the Truffl= e self-optimizing runtime system. Previously, he worked on the Crankshaft o= ptimizing compiler of V8 at Google, and the Maxine research virtual machine= at Sun Microsystems. He received a PhD degree from JKU Linz for his resear= ch about dynamic code evolution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chairs * Walter Binder, Universit=C3=A0 della Svizzera italiana (USI), Switzerland * Vittorio Cortellessa, Universit=C3=A0 dell'Aquila, Italy=C2=A0 Research Program Chairs * Anne Koziolek, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany * Evgenia Smirni, College of William and Mary, USA Industry Program Chairs * Meikel Poess, Oracle, USA Tutorials Chair * Valeria Cardellini, Universit=C3=A0 di Roma Torvergata, Italy Workshops Chairs * Hanspeter M=C3=B6ssenb=C3=B6ck, Johannes Kepler Universit=C3=A4t Linz, Au= stria * Catia Trubiani, Gran Sasso Science Institute, Italy Posters and Demos Chair * Lubomir Bulej, Charles University, Czech Republic Awards Chairs * Petr Tuma, Charles University, Czech Republic * Murray Woodside, Carleton University, Canada Local Organization Chair=C2=A0 * Antinisca Di Marco, Universit=C3=A0 dell'Aquila, Italy Publicity Chairs * Andrea Ros=C3=A0, Universit=C3=A0 della Svizzera italiana (USI), Switzerl= and * Diego Perez, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Finance Chair * Andr=C3=A9 van Hoorn, University of Stuttgart Publication and Registration Chair=C2=A0 * Davide Arcelli, Universit=C3=A0 dell'Aquila, Italy=C2=A0 Web Site Chair * Daniele Di Pompeo, Universit=C3=A0 dell'Aquila, Italy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- CONTACTS Do not hesitate to contact the general chairs at and= for more information about ICPE'17 and th= e co-located venues.
