CFP : Workshop on Multicore and GPU Programming Models, Languages and Compilers Workshop, PLC 2013, Boston, USA
by Sunita Chandrasekaran 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email. If you'd like to opt out of these announcements, information on how to unsubscribe is available at the bottom of this email.] ===================================================================== International Workshop on Multicore and GPU Programming Models, Languages and Compilers Workshop (PLC 2013) http://www2.cs.uh.edu/~hpctools/plc2013/ Held in conjunction with the 27th International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2013) Boston, USA, May 20th, 2013 http://www.ipdps.org/ipdps2013/2013_workshops.html ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS PLC 2013 --------------- The developer is challenged to come up with a programming strategy that will cater to the three important pillars of heterogeneous systems; Productivity, Portability, Performance. Software is an expensive investment (especially in a broad commercial context), creating a programming strategy with longevity so that code may be written once and ported easily, so more than one hardware platform may be utilized. Having said that, how to seamlessly execute legacy applications on heterogeneous platforms that consist of general purpose processors and accelerators by hiding the underlying low level details of the platform from the programmer? There are other programming challenges such as exploiting fine grain parallelism and locality-aware scheduling. This workshop aims to bring the programming community together to explore and discuss various options to make programming heterogeneous systems less challenging and more interesting. The workshop seeks to explore programming methodologies in the form of directive-based approaches, language extensions, novel tools and techniques to create a portable, scalable and productive programming environment. This workshop provides a forum for the presentation of research on all aspects of heterogeneous systems programming models, compiler optimizations, language extensions, and software tools for such systems. SUBMISSIONS ----------- Areas of interest include but are not limited to the following topics: * Multicore processors and Heterogeneous systems * Programming models: thread and task based models, data parallel models, stream programming * Language extensions for GPU programming/environments: C/C++ extensions for GPU programming OpenMP extensions for Accelerator OpenCL/CUDA OpenACC CAL OpenHMPP * Compiler optimizations and tuning Heterogeneous systems SIMDization/Vectorization Parallelization and locality optimizations Reducing synchronization and scheduling overheads on GPU and Multicore Tiling, parametric tiling and offloading * Runtime systems for Heterogeneous systems * Debuggers, and performance analysis tools for Heterogeneous systems * Operating systems and virtual shared memory for Heterogeneous systems * Software tools for discovering parallelism * Application frameworks, Case studies, design patterns, and domain-specific languages for developing manycore applications Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient background material to make them accessible to the broader community. In addition, we solicit papers from practitioners describing problems and experiences building software tools for Multicore processors and GPU accelerators. Full paper submissions should not exceed 10 pages in standard IEEE conference format. Papers should be submitted electronically through the workshop web site at easychair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=plc2013 Proceedings of accepted papers will be made available at the workshop. Selected papers will appear in the special issue of IEEE Journal (TBD later). Authors of accepted papers will have the option to decide if they want their papers to appear in this special issue. Submitted papers must not be simultaneously under review for any other conferences, and authors should point out any substantial overlap with their previously published or currently submitted work. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * Paper Submission Deadline: Jan 11th, 2013 * Paper Acceptance Notification: Feb 15th, 2013 * Camera Ready Due: Feb 21th, 2013 * Workshop Date: May 20th, 2013 ORGANIZERS ---------- STEERING COMMITTEE ------------------ Guang R.

Call for Papers - COSMIC - international workshop on Code OptimiSation for MultI and many Cores
by Huimin Cui 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

Dear colleague, Please consider participating in this workshop and please also inform anyone who you think may be interested. We apologise if you receive multiple copies of this call. Thank-you. ====================================================================== ========== *CALL FOR PAPERS* *COSMIC*: international workshop on Code OptimiSation for MultIand many Cores held in conjunction with the International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization *(CGO) 2013 * *Shenzhen, China Feburary 24, 2013* ====================================================================== ========== Many-core architectures such as mobile SOCs or GPGPUs are quickly becoming the norm in computing devices and consumer electronics. The community sees this development as an essential step in the evolution of processors, but at present there is no consensus on how software can make best use of it. Developing parallel applications often starts with an existing sequential implementation. A key problem is how to discover the parallelism potentially available and then convert it into a form that can be exploited. Once we have a parallel implementation, its performance largely depends on how it is mapped to the available hardware. Given that hardware is increasingly diverse, heterogeneous, how can this re-mapping be best achieved. Solutions to these two problems from the core topic of COSMIC'13. Research papers on novel techniques and experience papers on insights obtained by experimenting with real-world systems and applications are both welcome. *TOPICS OF INTEREST:* This workshop aims at examining different solutions to these problems and includes (but is not limited to): *- programming languages and models* *- compilers and tools* *- runtime systems* *- operating systems* *- binary translation* *- combinations of the above* for homogeneous, heterogeneous multi-core and many-core based systems. Regular research papers and work-in-progress short papers are welcome. ====================================================================== ========== *Important Dates * *Submission: 10 January, 2013;Anywhere on Earth * *Author Notification: 20 January, 2013 * *Workshop: Febuary 23-24, 2013* ====================================================================== ==========
