CALL FOR PAPERS

=============================================================

The 8th International Conference on Partitioned
Global Address Space Programming Models (PGAS 2014)
http://nic.uoregon.edu/pgas14

October 7-10, 2014
University of Oregon
Eugene, Oregon, USA

Held in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC

=============================================================

Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming models offer a
shared address space model that simplifies programming while exposing
data/thread locality to enhance performance. This facilitates the
development of programming models that can deliver both productivity
and performance. The PGAS conference is the premier forum to present
and discuss ideas and research developments in the area of: PGAS
models, languages, compilers, runtimes, applications and tools, PGAS
architectures and hardware features.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Applications. New applications that are uniquely enabled by the PGAS
model, existing applications and effective application development
practices for PGAS codes.
* Performance. Analysis of application performance over various
programming models.
* Developments in Programming Models and Languages. PGAS models,
language extensions, and hybrid models to address emerging
architectures, such as multicore, hybrid, heterogeneous, SIMD and
reconfigurable architectures.
* Tools, Compilers, and Implementations. Integrated Development
Environments, performance analysis tools, and debuggers. Compiler
optimisations for PGAS languages, low level libraries, memory
consistency models. Hardware support for PGAS languages, performance
studies and insights, productivity studies, and language
interoperability.

The PGAS Programming Models Conference is dedicated to the
presentation and discussion of research work in this field. Papers
should report on original research, and should include enough
background material to make them accessible to the entire PGAS
research community. Papers describing experiences should indicate how
they illustrate general principles; papers about parallel programming
foundations should indicate how they relate to practice.

# Deadlines
