From the macro level, where networks of distributed computers composed of diverse node architectures are interconnected with potentially heterogeneous networks, to the micro level, where deeper memory hierarchies and various accelerator architectures are increasingly common, the impact of heterogeneity on all computing tasks is increasing rapidly. Traditional parallel algorithms, programming environments and tools, designed for legacy homogeneous multiprocessors, will at best achieve a small fraction of the efficiency and the potential performance that we should expect from parallel computing in tomorrow's highly diversified and mixed environments. New ideas, innovative algorithms, and specialized programming environments and tools are needed to efficiently use these new and multifarious parallel architectures. The workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers working on algorithms, programming languages, tools, and theoretical models aimed at efficiently solving problems on heterogeneous platforms. Topics --------- The topics to be covered include but are not limited to: * Heterogeneous parallel programming paradigms and models * Languages, libraries, and interfaces for different heterogeneous parallel programming models * Performance models and their integration into the design of efficient parallel algorithms for heterogeneous platforms * Parallel algorithms for heterogeneous and/or hierarchical multi-core systems, including manycores and hardware accelerators (FPGAs, GPUs, Xeon Phi, etc.) * Parallel algorithms for efficient problem solving on heterogeneous platforms (numerical linear algebra, nonlinear systems, fast transforms, computational biology, data mining, multimedia, etc.) * Software engineering for heterogeneous parallel systems * Applications on heterogeneous platforms * Algorithms, models and tools for energy optimization on heterogeneous platforms * Bi-objective optimization of applications on heterogeneous platforms for performance and energy * Integration of parallel and distributed computing on heterogeneous platforms * Experience of porting parallel software from supercomputers to heterogeneous platforms * Fault tolerance of parallel computations on heterogeneous platforms * Algorithms, models and tools for grid, desktop grid, cloud, and green computing Submission Guidelines ------------------------------- Authors are encouraged to submit original, unpublished research or overviews on Algorithms, Models and Tools for Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Platforms. Manuscripts should be limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS stylesheet and submitted through the EasyChair Conference System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=europar2018ws For further questions, please contact the program chair(s). Publication --------------- Accepted papers that are presented at the workshop will be published in revised form in a special Euro-Par Workshop Volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the Euro-Par conference. Journal Special Issue ---------------------------- Authors of selected papers accepted for presentation at HeteroPar'2018 will be invited to submit a revised and extended version of their work to a special issue of a top journal.
