CALL FOR PAPERS

Ninth International Workshop on
Programmability and Architectures for Heterogeneous Multicores
(MULTIPROG-2016)


Held in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on
High-Performance
and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC)
Prague, Czech Republic, January 18, 2016
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/.


Topics of interest
------------------
Papers are sought on topics including, but not limited to:
    * Multi-core architectures
        o Architectural support for compilers/programming models
        o Processor (core) architecture and accelerators, in particular GPUs
        o Memory system architecture
        o Performance, power, temperature, and reliability issues
    * Heterogeneous computing
        o Algorithms and data structures for heterogeneous systems
        o Applications for heterogeneous computing and real-time graphics
    * Programming models for multi-core architectures
        o Language extensions
        o Run-time systems
        o Compiler optimizations and techniques
    * Benchmarking of multi-/many-core architectures
        o Tools for discovering and understanding parallelism
        o Tools for understanding performance and debugging
        o Case studies and performance evaluation


Important dates
---------------
Paper submission: November 22, 2015 (AOE)
Author notification: December 11, 2015


Paper submission
----------------

MULTIPROG is now accepting contributions of regular research papers and
short position
papers describing early research on emerging topics. When preparing your
submission please
adhere to the following format specification:

* Regular research papers: Regular research papers should preferably use
LNCS format (up
  to 12 pages, not including references). Single column (up to 12 pages) or
double column
  (up to 6 pages) formats are also accepted.

* Short position papers: Short position papers should preferably use LNCS
format (4-6
  pages, not including references). Single column (4-6 pages) or double
column (2-3 pages)
  formats are also accepted. Papers in this category should explicitly
indicate "Position
  Paper" as part of the title of their manuscript.

The authors of the accepted papers will be requested to provide the final
version of their
paper in LNCS format.

Please use one of the templates below:
    * Latex template:
ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs2e.zip
    * Word template:
