About DCperf

The International Workshop on Data Center Performance for Future Network Architectures (DCperf) is a specialized workshop focused on performance optimization of data center and cloud-edge infrastructures. Held in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS — a premier IEEE conference since 1980, technically sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society — DCperf addresses critical performance challenges facing modern data centers as they evolve to support AI/ML, edge computing, and global-scale content delivery.

Each edition presents a Best Paper Award selected by the Technical Program Committee based on originality, technical depth, experimental validation, and potential impact on next-generation data center architectures.
