[hpc-announce] CFP: Performance Portable Programming Models for Accelerators (P^3MA) @ ISC 2017

[Sunita Chandrasekaran]

Second International Workshop on Performance Portable Programming Models
for Accelerators (P^3MA)
http://www.csm.ornl.gov/workshops/p3ma2017/index.html
*June 22, 2017*
co-located with ISC 2017 <http://www.isc-hpc.com/>  June 18 - 22,
Frankfurt, Germany

*CALL FOR PAPERS*
High-level programming models aim to provide scientific applications a path
onto HPC platforms with minimal loss of portability or programmer
productivity. For example, using directives, developers can incrementally
port their codes to heterogeneous systems with minimal code changes. Other
emerging approaches include Domain Specific Languages (DSLs), C++
metaprogramming, and runtime APIs. Although these approaches attempt to
introduce abstraction without performance penalty, programming challenges
remain, with their designs, implementations, and ease-of-use on rapidly
evolving hardware and diverse memory subsystems.
Programming approaches to address these concerns are continuously being
developed within standards committees for C++, OpenCL, OpenMP, OpenACC, and
various DSLs. This workshop is designed to assess improved features of
programming models (including but not limited to directives-based and C++
library-based programming models), their implementations, and experiences
with their deployment in HPC applications.
The workshop provides a forum bringing together researchers and developers
to examine heterogeneous computing and how it has been evolving across an
increasingly diverse set of accelerated architectures. Including an invited
opening keynote address and a closing Q&A panel with all presenters, this
workshop will provide perspectives from current research and a chance for
attendees to actively participate in this quickly changing and growing area
of HPC research.
This workshop will be held on June 22, 2017, colocated with the ISC High
Performance Conference in Frankfurt, Germany (http://www.isc-hpc.com).

*Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited
to):*

▪ Experience porting applications using high-level models focused on
performance portability and productivity
▪ Hybrid heterogeneous or many-core programming with models such as
threading, message passing, and PGAS
▪ Asynchronous task and event driven APIs and execution/scheduling
▪ Performance-portable scientific libraries for heterogeneous systems
▪ Experiences in implementing compilers for performance portable
programming on current and emerging architectures
▪ Low level communications APIs or runtimes that support accelerator
architectures
▪ Extensions to programming models needed to support multiple memory
hierarchies and accelerators
▪ Performance modeling and evaluation tools
▪ Power/energy studies
▪ Auto-tuning or optimization strategies
▪ Benchmarks and validation suites

* Important Deadlines:*

Paper Submission Deadline: April 03, 2017
Paper Acceptance Notification: May 14, 2017
Camera Ready Paper: June 03, 2017
Workshop: June 23rd, 2017

*Review process*
Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via Easy Chair :
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=p3ma17

We only accept paper submissions which are formatted correctly in LNCS
style (single column format) using either the LaTeX document class or Word
template. For details on the author guidelines, please refer to Springer’s
website. Incorrectly formatted papers will be excluded from the reviewing
process.
Papers submissions are required to be within 18 pages in the above
mentioned LNCS style. This includes all figures and references.
The submissions are "single-blind", i.e. submissions are allowed to include
the author names.
All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed. The review process is not
double blind, i.e., authors will be known to reviewers. Submissions will be
judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance,
quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference
scope. Submitted papers may NOT have appeared in or be under consideration
for another conference, workshop or journal.
