[hpc-announce] Call for contributions to ACM TACO 2.0

Wed Mar 25 14:59:53 CDT 2015

Do you know ACM TACO 2.0?

Over the last two years ACM TACO (ACM Transactions on Architecture and Code
Optimization,  <http://taco.acm.org/> http://taco.acm.org/) has dramatically
optimized its internal processes. Today, the average turnaround time from
submission to first response is 43 days which is 1.5 months. Most accepted
manuscripts went through two rounds of reviews to reach a final decision
only 5 months after submission. Accepted manuscripts are immediately
published in the ACM digital library. Hence, excellent manuscripts can make
it from submission to the digital library in about 3 months; papers needing
a major revision will make it to the digital library in about 6 months. The
ACM TACO acceptance rate after two review rounds is 27%. We call this “ACM
TACO 2.0”. Attached at the end of this mail are the titles of the papers
printed since January 2015 in ACM TACO.

ACM TACO 2.0 has a review cycle and an acceptance rate which is competitive
with the best ACM conferences, but without the inconvenient non-negotiable
submission deadlines, and with the advantage of being able to revise a paper
based on the detailed review reports by carefully selected reviewers, and of
being published as soon as it is accepted. On top of that, authors of
original work papers get an open invitation to present their paper at the
yearly HiPEAC conference, which is the premier European network event on
topics central to ACM TACO, attended by more than 631 scientists in 2015. We
already have 10 accepted papers for the January 2016 conference in Prague
(https://www.hipeac.org/2016/prague). 

For the 2014 ACM TACO 2.0 issues, we are calling for high-quality
manuscripts on topics included, but not limited to:

·       Computer system architectures and processor architectures, including
multiprocessors and multithreaded computers

·       Interaction of operating systems, compilers, programming languages,
and architecture

·       Feedback-Directed Software/Hardware Optimization

·       Dynamic compilation, adaptive execution, and continuous
profiling/optimization.

·       Virtual machine, binary translation hardware, and software
optimizations

·       Compiler optimizations that exploit instruction level parallelism,
such as software pipelining, global scheduling, register allocation, and
memory disambiguation

·       Advanced software and hardware speculation, prediction, and
predication techniques.

·       High-performance microarchitecture innovation (e.g., VLIW,
superscalar, multithreaded, etc.)

·       Architectures and compilers for embedded processors, application
specific processors and DSPs, including network and router architectures

·       Memory system optimization

·       Parallel processing

·       Architecture or compiler-based power and energy optimization

·       Application characterization and architectural implications

·       Performance evaluation and measurement of real systems

·       Papers of interest to the SIGMICRO, SIGARCH, and SIGPLAN community 

There is no deadline but manuscripts are processed on a
first-come-first-served basis. Submit your best work via
<http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taco> http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/taco
as soon as it is ready to go. We will work hard to get back to you in less
than 2 months with your reviews.
