IWOMP 2015 - 11th International Workshop on OpenMP (deadline extension)
by Terboven, Christian 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

The deadline for IWOMP 2015, the 11th International Workshop on OpenMP, has been extended to May 17th, 2015. http://www.iwomp.org Background ------------- For many years, OpenMP has provided a very rich and flexible programming model for shared memory architectures. OpenMP 4.0 was a major advance that added two new forms of parallelism. Not only in the form of device constructs to support heterogeneous systems like GPUs, FPGAs, DSPs, but also through SIMD constructs to support vector units. It also included several significant extensions for the worksharing and task-based forms of parallelism. The International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP) is an annual workshop dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel programming with OpenMP. It is the premier forum to present and discuss issues, trends, recent research ideas, and results related to parallel programming with OpenMP. We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers detailing innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP. Topics -------- All topics related to OpenMP are of interest, including OpenMP performance analysis and modeling, OpenMP performance and correctness tools, proposed OpenMP extensions, and OpenMP applications in any domain (e.g., scientific and numerical computation, video games, computer graphics, multimedia, information retrieval, optimization, text processing, data mining, finance, signal and image processing and machine learning). Advances in technologies, such as multi-core processors and OpenMP devices (accelerators such as GPGPUs, DSPs or FPGAs), Multiprocessor Systems on a Chip (MPSoCs), and recent developments in OpenMP itself (e.g., tasking) present new opportunities and challenges for software and hardware developers. Recent advances in the C, C++ and Fortran base languages also offer interesting oppportunities and challenges to the OpenMP programming model. IWOMP 2015 particularly solicits submissions in these areas as well as ones that discuss how to apply OpenMP to additional models of parallelism such as event loops. Paper Submission and Registration ---------------------------------------- Submitted papers for review should be limited to 12 pages and follow LNCS guidelines. Submission deadline is May 17th, 2015 . Once the submission is open, submit your paper to: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwomp2015. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare a final paper of up to 15 pages. As in previous years, IWOMP 2015 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in Springer Verlag's LNCS series. Important Dates ------------------ Paper submission deadline: May 17, 2015 Notification of acceptance: June 8, 2015 Deadline for final version: July 13, 2015 Tutorial in Aachen, Germany: September 30, 2015 Workshop in Aachen, Germany: October 1-2, 2015 Program Committee Co-Chairs: ----------------------- Christian Terboven RWTH Aachen University, Germany Bronis R. de Supinski LLNL, USA Program Committee ----------------------- Eduard Ayguade Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC-Barcelona TECH), Spain Mark Bull EPCC, University of Edinburgh, UK Jacqueline Chame ISI, USC, USA Nawal Copty Oracle Corporation, USA Luiz DeRose Cray Inc., USA Alejandro Duran Intel, Spain Nasser Giacaman The University of Auckland, New Zealand Chunhua Liao LLNL, USA Kent Milfeld TACC, USA Bernd Mohr Juelich Supercomputing Centre, Germany Philippe Navaux UFRGS, Brazil Stephen Olivier Sandia National Laboratories, USA Jairo Panetta ITA, Brazil Vinod Rebello UFF, Brazil Alistair Rendell Australian National University, Australia Mitsuhisa Sato University of Tsukuba, Japan Dirk Schmidl RWTH Aachen University, Germany Tom Scogland LLNL, USA Eric Stotzer Texas Instruments, USA Seetharami Seelam IBM Research, USA Priya Unnikrishnan IBM Toronto Laboratory, Canada Ruud van der Pas Oracle Corporation, USA

In the context of the symposium, "parallel programming" encompasses work on concurrent and parallel systems (multicore, multithreaded, heterogeneous, clustered, and distributed systems; grids; clouds; and large scale machines). Given the rise of parallel architectures in the consumer market (desktops, laptops, and mobile devices), PPoPP is particularly interested in work that addresses new parallel workloads, techniques, and tools that attempt to improve the productivity of parallel programming, and work towards improved synergy with such emerging architectures. Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to): + Compilers and runtime systems for parallel and heterogeneous systems + Concurrent data structures + Development, analysis, or management tools + Fault tolerance for parallel systems + Formal analysis and verification + High-performance / scientific computing + Middleware for parallel systems + Parallel algorithms + Parallel applications and frameworks + Parallel programming languages + Parallel programming theory and models + Parallelism in non-scientific workloads: web, search, analytics, cloud + Performance analysis, debugging and optimization + Programming tools for parallel and heterogeneous systems + Software engineering for parallel programs + Software for heterogeneous architectures + Software productivity for parallel programming + Synchronization and concurrency control + Task-parallel libraries Papers should report on original research relevant to parallel programming, and should contain enough background materials to make them accessible to the entire parallel programming research community. Papers describing experience should indicate how they illustrate general principles; papers about parallel programming foundations should indicate how they relate to practice. Poster submissions should meet similar criteria for originality and relevance, but may present emerging ideas or results that are not yet sufficiently developed for a full paper. All submissions must be made electronically through the conference web site. Abstracts must include contact information, the full list of authors and their affiliations, and a description of the anticipated content of the paper (100-400 words). Full paper submissions must be in PDF formatted for US letter size paper. They must not exceed 10 pages (all inclusive) in standard SIGPLAN two-column conference format (preprint mode, with page numbers). Templates for the SIGPLAN format are available for Microsoft Word, and LaTeX at http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/ (use the 9 pt template, and do not adjust any margins, line spacing, etc.). Over-length submissions will not be accepted. Submissions will be judged on correctness, relevance, originality, significance, and clarity. Paper submission is double-blind to reduce reviewer bias against or for authors or institutions. Thus, the submissions cannot include author names, institutions or hints based on references to prior work. If authors are extending their own work, they need to reference and discuss the past work in third person, as if they were extending someone else's research. We realize that for some papers it will still reveal authorship, but as long as an effort was made to follow these guidelines, the submission will not be penalized. Authors must identify any conflicts of interest with PC members and external review committee members, as defined here: http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Review/ (ACM SIGPLAN policy). Poster submissions must conform to the same format restrictions, but may not exceed 2 pages in length. Paper submissions that are not accepted for regular presentations will automatically be considered for posters; authors who do not want their paper considered for the poster session should indicate this in their abstract submission. Two-page summaries of posters will be included in the conference proceedings. AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) PPoPP 2016 will be in Barcelona, 12-18 March 2016. It will be co-located with HPCA 2016, CGO 2016, and LLVM 2016. Authors should carefully consider the difference in focus of the conferences when deciding where to submit a paper. Important dates: Abstract submission: September 4, 2015 Full paper submission: September 11, 2015 Author response period: October 27-29, 2015 Notification of acceptance: November 9, 2015 Camera-ready version of accepted papers: January 8, 2016 General Chair Rafael Asenjo University of Malaga Program Chair Tim Harris Oracle Labs Program Committee Kunal Agrawal Washington University in St. Louis Alexandro Baldassin Sao Paulo State University Grey Ballard Sandia National Laboratories Michael Bauer NVIDIA Research Sarah Bird Microsoft Research Michael Bond Ohio State University Uday Bondhugula Indian Institute of Science Greg Bronevetsky Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Dhruva Chakrabarti HP Labs Barbara Chapman University of Houston Haibo Chen Shanghai Jiao Tong University Christophe Dubach University of Edinburgh Faith Ellen University of Toronto Vincent Gramoli NICTA and University of Sydney Mary Hall University of Utah Tim Harris (chair) Oracle Labs William Jalby Universite de Versailles Brandon Lucia Carnegie Mellon University Josh Milthorpe IBM Research Adam Morrison Technion Rotem Oshman Tel Aviv University Cynthia Phillips Sandia National Laboratories Shaz Qadeer Microsoft Research John Reppy University of Chicago Chris Rossbach VMware Research Group Vijay Saraswat IBM T J Watson Martin Schulz Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Michael Scott University of Rochester Jean-Baptiste Tristan Oracle Labs -- Dr. Diego R.
