* Call for Papers
With Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) systems, performance increase on the 
microprocessor side will continue according to Moore's Law, at least in 
the near future. Accordingly, next-generation CMPs will be featured by a 
large amount of integrated cores, up to some thousands in the near 
future. However, the already existing performance limitations due to 
slow memory access and cache coherence overhead are expected to get 
worse with such highly parallel CMPs, and they will make it hard for 
users to fully exploit the theoretically available performance. This 
challenging problem gets further complicated by the hybrid and 
hierarchical design of compute clusters and high-end supercomputers, as 
well as the use of accelerator components (GPGPUs by AMD and NVIDIA, 
Intel Xeon Phi, Intel SCC, integrated GPUs etc.).

Therefore, to lower the programming burden revolutionary high-level 
programming models to express parallel programs on next-generation CMPs 
are expected to become more prevalent in years to come.

* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
  - High-level parallel programming approaches
  - Parallel patterns for massively parallel CMPs
  - Run-time supports for hybrid platforms
  - Tools for performance and cache behavior analysis
  - Performance modeling and profiling tools
  - Software engineering, code optimization, and code generation 
strategies for parallel systems with multi-core processors
  - Parallelization on HPC platforms; eg., platforms with hierarchical 
communication layout, multi-/many-core platforms, NUMA architectures, or 
accelerator components (Intel Xeon Phi, NVIDIA and AMD GPU, Tilera, 
FPGA, integrated GPUs such as AMD APUs or Intel Haswell/Ivy Bridge)

* Submission Instructions
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on 
above and other topics related to Many-core computing, modeling and 
algorithms. Submitted papers must not have been published or 
simultaneously submitted elsewhere. For Regular papers, please submit a 
PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column 
formatted pages per template, and include up to 6 keywords and an 
abstract of no more than 400 words. Additional pages will be charged 
additional fee. Submission should include a cover page with authors' 
names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and all 
authors email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding 
author(s) although all authors are equally responsible for the 
manuscript. Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and posters 
(please refer to 
http://hpcs2017.cisedu.info/1-call-for-papers-and-participation/call-for-posters 
for posters submission details) will also be considered. Please specify 
the type of submission you have.  Please include page numbers on all 
preliminary submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide 
helpful comments.

Submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript to the workshop paper 
submission site at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=appmm2017. 
Acknowledgement will be sent within 48 hours of submission.

Only PDF files will be accepted, uploaded to the submission link above.  
Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be 
selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical 
clarity and presentation, language, and references.  Submission implies 
the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present 
the paper, if accepted.  At least one of the authors of each accepted 
paper will have to register and attend the HPCS 2017 conference to 
present the paper at the workshop.

* Important Dates
April 1, 2017        Paper submission deadline
April 20, 2017        Paper acceptance notifications
May 3, 2017        Camera-ready due
July 17-21, 2017    Workshop day

* Workshop Co-Chairs
- Gabriele Mencagli, University of Pisa, Italy
- Massimo Torquati, University of Pisa, Italy

Looking forward to receiving your excellent submissions soon.

Best regards,

Gabriele Mencagli and Massimo Torquati
