CALL FOR PAPERS
—————
The Tenth International Workshop on
Programmability and Architectures for Heterogeneous Multicores (MULTIPROG-2016)
To be held in conjunction with:
the 12th International Conference on
High-Performance and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC)
Stockholm, Sweden, January 24, 2017
Workshop website: http://research.ac.upc.edu/multiprog/
Goal of the Workshop
——————–
Computer manufacturers have embarked on the many-core roadmap, promising to add
more and more cores/hardware threads on their chips. The ever-increasing number
of cores and heterogeneity in architectures has placed new burdens on the
programming community. Software needs to be parallelized and optimized for
accelerators such as GPUs in order 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.
The ninth edition of the MULTIPROG workshop aims to bring together researchers
interested in programming models, runtimes, and computer architecture. The
workshop’s emphasis is on heterogeneous architectures and covers issues such as:
* How can future parallel programming models improve software productivity?
* How should compilers, runtimes and architectures support programming
models and emerging applications?
* How to design efficient data structures and innovative algorithms?
MULTIPROG is intended for quick publication of early results, work-in-progress,
etc., and is not intended to prevent later publication of extended papers.
Informal proceedings with accepted papers will be made available at the workshop
and online at the workshop’s web page http://research.ac.upc.edu/multiprog/.
