Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call. ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS ADAPT: 3rd International Workshop on Adaptive Self-tuning Computing Systems January 22nd, 2013, Berlin, Germany (co-located with HiPEAC 2013) http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/cdubach/adapt2013/ ================================================================================ Computing systems are rapidly evolving into heterogeneous machines featuring many processor cores. This leads to a tremendous complexity with an unprecedented number of available design and optimization choices for architectures, applications, compilers and run-time systems. Using outdated, non-adaptive technology results in an enormous waste of expensive computing resources and energy, while slowing down time to market. The 3rd International Workshop on Adaptive Self-tuning Computing Systems is an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, developers and application writers to discuss ideas, experience, methodology, applications, practical techniques and tools to improve or change current and future computing systems using self-tuning technology. Such systems should be able to automatically adjust their behaviour to multi-objective usage scenarios at all levels (hardware and software) based on empirical, dynamic, iterative, statistical, collective, bio-inspired, machine learning and alternative techniques while fully utilizing available resources. All papers will be peer-reviewed including short position papers and should include ideas on how to simplify, automate and standardize the design, programming, optimization and adaptation of large-scale computing systems for multiple objectives to improve performance, power consumption, utilization, reliability and scalability. ==== Important Dates ==== * Abstract deadline: October 15, 2012 * Paper submission deadline: October 22, 2012 * Author notification: November 26, 2012 * Final paper version: December 10, 2012 ==== Program Chairs/organizers: ==== * Christophe Dubach (University of Edinburgh, UK) * Grigori Fursin (INRIA Saclay, France) ==== Program Committee: ==== * Erik Altman (IBM TJ Watson, USA) * Marisa Gil (UPC, Spain) * Vijay Janapa Reddi (UT Austin, USA) * Timothy Jones (University of Cambridge, UK) * Jaejin Lee (Seoul National University, Korea) * Anton Lokmotov (ARM, UK) * Chi-Keung Luk (Intel, USA) * Tipp Moseley (Google, USA) * Lasse Natvig (NTNU, Norway) * David Padua (UIUC, USA) * Markus Pueschel (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) * Juergen Teich (University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany) * Chengyong Wu (ICT, China) ==== Paper Submission Guidelines ==== We invite papers in two categories: * Full papers should be at most 6 pages long (excluding bibliography).

CFP: Leveraging Abstractions and Semantics in High-Performance Computing
by Milind Kulkarni 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

============================================================================= * Workshop on Leveraging Abstractions and Semantics for High-Performance Computing (LASH-C) * Co-located with PPoPP 2013 * Shenzhen, China, from February 23–27, 2013. ============================================================================= Increasingly, high-performance applications are written using various high-level abstractions, from libraries to domain-specific languages, and with each passing year, new abstractions and models are being proposed. These abstractions often possess specific semantic properties, either domain-specific (such as mathematical properties of a domain's operations) or general (such as locality or layout information in a data-structure library). Nevertheless, by taking advantage of these abstractions or semantic properties, applications can be restructured, computations can be rescheduled, algorithms can be refined and data layouts can be tuned to improve performance. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are investigating how to take advantage of high level semantic information, abstractions and domain-specific knowledge to write, optimize and transform high-performance applications. The workshop will be a mix of invited talks and presentations selected from extended abstracts submitted to the committee. Topics of interest include: • Domain-specific languages and abstractions • Data-structure abstractions • Algorithm abstractions • Extending existing programming models to incorporate higher levels of abstractions • Using semantics to improve synchronization, scheduling, locality, etc. • et cetera Those interested in presenting a talk at this workshop should submit a 1–2 page extended abstract to lashc.committee(a)gmail.com. Include a complete list of authors, their affiliations and contact information (e.g., address, telephone number, and email address), and please identify the corresponding author for your submission. Accepted abstracts and slides for talks will be posted online prior to the workshop. Important Dates: • Submission deadline: November 15th, 11:59pm PDT • Notification of acceptance: December 1, 2012 Committee: • Milind Kulkarni, Purdue University (chair) • Greg Bronevetsky, Lawrence Livermore National Labs • Samuel Midkiff, Purdue University • David Padua, University of Illinois, at Urbana-Champaign • Keshav Pingali, University of Texas at Austin • Committee may be extended.
