Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the preliminary program for the SMART'09
(3rd Workshop on Statistical and Machine learning approaches to ARchitectures 
and compilaTion) is now available on-line:

http://unidapt.org/dissemination/workshops/smart09/program.html

SMART'09 will be held in Paphos, Cyprus, January 25, 2009
co-located with the HiPEAC'09 conference and will feature
a panel chaired by Francois Bodin from CAPS-Enterprise:
"Can machine learning help to solve the multicore code generation issues?"

If you would like to attend this workshop, please don't forget to register 
at the HiPEAC registration website (http://www.hipeac.net/conference).
The deadline is January 13th, 2009!

=== Scope of the SMART workshop: ===
The rapid rate of architectural change and the large diversity of
architecture features has made it increasingly difficult for compiler
writers to keep pace with microprocessor evolution. This problem has been
compounded by the introduction of multicores.  Thus, compiler writers have
an intractably complex problem to solve.  A similar situation arises in
processor design where new approaches are needed to help computer architects
make the best use of new underlying technologies and to design systems well
adapted to futureapplication domains.

Recent studies have shown the great potential of statistical machine
learning and search strategies for compilation and machine design.  The
purpose of this workshop is to help consolidate and advance the state of the
art in this emerging area of research. The workshop is a forum for the
presentation of recent developments in compiler techniques and machine
design methodologies based on space exploration and statistical machine
learning approaches with the objective of improving performance,
parallelism, scalability, and adaptability.

We are looking forward to your participation,

Grigori Fursin, John Cavazos, David Padua
