The 4th IEEE International Workshop on Data Center Performance (DCPerf'14)
Madrid, Spain, June 30 - July 3, 2014
http://www.zurich.ibm.com/
in conjunction with ICDCS'14:
The 34th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems
http://lsd.ls.fi.upm.es/
Data centers have become an integral part of the backbone infrastructure
for
information technology. In particular, they provide a cost efficient
solution
for provisioning a wide range of computing resources in diverse
environments
such as business, scientific, and mobile. Due to the rapid growth of user-
defined and user-generated programs, applications and content, the
complexity
of deploying and operating data centers continues to increase. Considering
the high volume of mixed workloads, the diversity of services offered, and
the increasing mobility of users across geographically distributed areas,
the
performance optimization of data centers has become ever more necessary
and
challenging, especially in view of criteria such as scalability,
reliability,
manageability, power efficiency, area density, and operating costs.
The goal of this workshop is to promote a community-wide discussion to
find
and identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable data
center
performance optimizations. We are looking for papers that present new
techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions,
or
discuss strategies for resolving open performance problems of data
centers.
