             CFP: IEEE CLUSTER 2011 WORKSHOP

    Parallel Programming on Accelerator Clusters (PPAC11)

               September 26, Austin, Texas
------------------------------------------------------------

Call for Papers

Accelerator-based parallel architectures, heterogeneous
multicore processors, FPGAs and GPUs, are rapidly becoming
mainstream components for cluster computing.  While the
potential of accelerators for addressing problems such as
memory latency and bandwidth has long been recognized,
accelerators present several challenges to programmers
and cluster systems designers. Conventional parallel
programming models and libraries, parallel algorithms,
and system software need to be restructured and redesigned
to exploit the architectural strengths of accelerators
and mitigate their lack of efficient general-purpose
computing capabilities.

This workshop will bring together researchers from academia
and industry to discuss the latest developments in parallel
programming models, languages, tools, system software and
applications for accelerator-based clusters.

Topics if interest include:

* Programming models for accelerator-based clusters,
   including systems using GPUs, heterogeneous multicore
   processors and FPGAs.
* Compiler and runtime support for accelerator-based
   clusters, including support for scheduling, communication,
   memory management, and i/o.
* Operating systems and virtualization support for
   accelerator-based clusters.
* Performance evaluation of accelerator-based clusters.
* Performance analysis, profiling and debugging tools.
* Application studies on accelerator-based clusters.
* Power and energy-efficiency studies of accelerator-based
   clusters.
