The International Grid Performance Workshop - 2005 will address the science of performance and the Grid. It will be a forum for identifying and discussing the latest research and current application needs for performance and monitoring data for Grid systems, both in terms of design and use.
Applications are slowly being adapted to run over multiple administrative domains in a coordinated way, but they rarely achieve even a fraction of the possible performance of the underlying systems. In part this is because users very rarely know what performance they could achieve. There is no current data or infrastructure to formulate estimates of baseline performance with which to determine the difference between how an application is currently running and what is possible with a bit of effort. We will begin by focusing on the needs of data-centric scientific applications.
This two-day working meeting will focus on the needs of three applications, and tools to help understand their problems, with the plan to extrapolate to other application use in the closing sessions. The result of the workshop will be a white paper on the state of the field and recommendations for future work.

Dinner will be held at La Tasca (http://www.latasca.co.uk/home/1/home/home.html) at 19:30 on 22 June 2005.
