[HiPEAC-announce] CFP: Second MULTIPROG Workshop in Conjunction with 4th Hipeac Conference

[Osman Unsal]

                                                CALL FOR PAPERS

 

Second Workshop on Programmability Issues for Multi-Core Computers

(MULTIPROG-2009)

 

Held in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on
High-Performance 

and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC) 

Paphos, Cyprus, January 25-28, 2009

 

Goal of the Workshop

--------------------

Computer manufacturers have already embarked on the multi-core roadmap,
promising 

to double the number of processors on a chip every other year, and
many-cores are 

on the horizon. This shift to an increasing number of cores has placed new
burdens 

on the programming community. Until now, software has been developed with a
single 

processor in mind and it needs to be parallelized to take advantage of the
new 

breed of multi-/many-core computers. As a result, progress in how to easily
harness 

the computing power of multi-core architectures is in great demand.

 

This workshop aims to bring together, and cause fruitful interaction
between, 

researchers interested in programming models and their implementation and in


computer architecture with the common interest in advancing our knowledge
how to 

simplify the task of parallelization of software for multi-core platforms. A
wide 

spectrum of issues are central themes for this workshop such as what the
future 

programming models should look like to accelerate software productivity and
how 

it should be implemented at the runtime, the compiler, and the architecture
level.

 

We will prioritize papers reporting on on-going work that address
cross-cutting 

issues and that provide thought-provoking insights into the main themes.
Proceedings 

with accepted papers will be made available at the workshop. Selected papers
will 

appear on a special issue of Transactions on HiPEAC, after a new review
process.
