However, exploiting the full capabilities of these machines is becoming exponentially more difficult with each generation of hardware. To understand and optimize the behavior of massively parallel simulations the performance analysis community has created a wide range of tools to collect performance data, such as flop counts or network traffic at the largest scale. However, this success has created a new challenge, as the resulting data is far too large and too complex to be analyzed in a straightforward manner. Therefore, new automatic analysis and visualization approaches must be created to allow application developers to intuitively understand the multiple, interdependent effects that their algorithmic choices have on the final performance. This workshop will bring together researchers from performance analysis and visualization to discuss new approaches of combining both areas to understand large-scale applications.=0A=0AThis workshop will produce a refereed proceedings that will be available through the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore (free of charge during and immediately after SC, and free after that to SIGHPC members).=0A=0AMore at: http://cedmav.com/events/vpa-2015.html SUMMARY:VPA2015: Second International Workshop on Visual Performance Analysis PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
