[HiPEAC-announce] Workshop on Multithreaded Architectures and Applications: MTAAP'09 CFP

Workshop on Multithreaded Architectures and Applications: MTAAP'09
http://hpc.pnl.gov/mtaap/mtaap09/ To be held in Conjunction with the
International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2009) May
29, 2009, Rome, Italy

Scope:
Multithreading (MT) programming and execution models are starting to
permeate the high-end and mainstream computing scene. This trend is driven
by the need to increase processor utilization and deal with the
memory-processor speed gap. Recent and upcoming examples architectures that
fit this profile are Cray's XMT, IBM Cyclops, and several SMT processors
from Sun (UltraSparc T1), IBM (Power6), Intel (Xeon with hyperthreading).
The underlying rationale to increase processor utilization is a varying mix
of new metrics that take performance improvements as well as better power
and cost budgeting into account. Yet, it remains a challenge to identify and
productively program applications for these architectures with a resulting
substantial performance improvement. 

The MTAAP'09 workshop is a full-day meeting to be held at the IPDPS 2009
focusing on MT architectures and applications. This workshop intends to
identify applications that are amenable to MT and the MT programming and
execution models as well as the underlying architectures on which they can
thrive. The workshop seeks to explore programming frameworks in the form of
MT languages and libraries, compilers, analysis and debugging tools to
increase the programming productivity. The topics of interest, of both
theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to:

*	Multithreaded Architectures 
*	Multithreaded Programming Framework 
*	Compilation and Optimization for MT architectures 
*	Multithreaded Performance Analysis and Debugging Tools
*	Multithreaded Performance Metrics and Evaluations 
*	Multithreaded Libraries and run-time systems
*	Innovative applications for MT architectures 
*	

The MTAAP workshop proceedings will be published along with the IPDPS
proceedings.
