Other suggestions

Application performance studies across one or more parallel machines - e.g. satellite data processing, parallel search, computer vision algorithms, bioinformatics

Application performance studies on GPUs (1 or more machines)

Reproduce results from a paper, extend to current systems
E.g., CPU vs. GPU paper (pick a small number of application kernels)

Debunking paper

Or one of your own design
