CALL FOR PAPERS
2015 PLC Workshop
Programming Models, Languages and Compilers for Manycore and Heterogeneous
Architectures

http://web.cs.uh.edu/~hpctools/plc2015/

May 25, 2015 - Hyderabad, India


***************************************************************************************

Co-located with 29th IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing
Symposium (IPDPS 2015)


Three essential pillars to successful parallel computing - Productivity,
Portability, Performance. Creating software for heterogeneous systems can
be quite complex especially when the low-level details need to be managed
and abstracted from the programmer. Emerging standards are providing an
incremental development to target heterogeneous architectures, be it
NVIDIA, ARM, Intel or AMD. We all know software is an expensive investment.
Portability is necessary, ensuring long lifetime of the software and thus
reducing the maintenance cost. Other challenges include locality and memory
issues, load balancing, hiding latency with concurrency and so on.
This workshop aims to brainstorm ways to make programming heterogeneous
systems less challenging and more interesting. We believe that this
workshop will provide a forum for the presentation and discussions of
research on all aspects of heterogeneous systems programming models,
compiler optimizations, language extensions, and software tools for such
systems.
Areas of interest include but are not limited to the following topics:
    •    Multicore processors, Heterogeneous systems, Accelerators
    •    Programming models: thread and task based models, data parallel
models, stream programming
    •    Programming environments for heterogeneous systems
    ◦    OpenMP for Accelerator
    ◦    OpenACC
    ◦    OpenCL/CUDA
    ◦    OpenHMPP and other related models
    •    Compiler optimizations and tuning heterogeneous systems
    ◦    Parallelization and loop transformations
    ◦    Locality optimizations
    ◦    SIMDization/Vectorization
    ◦    Reducing synchronization and scheduling overheads on heterogeneous
systems
    ◦    Tiling, parametric tiling and offloading
    •    Runtime systems for multicore processors, heterogeneous systems,
accelerators
    •    Debuggers, and performance analysis tools for heterogeneous system
and accelerators
    •    Application and Benchmarks
