                    23rd International Workshop on
               High-Level Parallel Programming Models and
                   Supportive Environments (HIPS)

     Held in conjunction with the 32nd IEEE International Parallel

Background
----------

The 23nd HIPS workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting on Monday,
May 21, 2018 at the IEEE IPDPS 2018 conference in Vancouver, focuses
on high-level programming of multi-/manycore systems, accelerators,
compute clusters, and massively parallel machines. Like previous
workshops in the series, which was established in 1996, this event
serves as a forum for research in the areas of parallel applications,
language design, compilers, runtime systems, and programming tools. It
provides a timely forum for scientists and engineers to present the
latest ideas and findings in these rapidly changing fields. In our
call for papers, we especially encourage innovative approaches in the
areas of emerging programming models for large-scale parallel systems,
data-intensive applications, and memory-centric architectures.

Topics of Interest
------------------

Topics of interest to the HIPS workshop include but are not limited to:

-   New programming languages and constructs for exploiting parallelism
     and data locality
-   Experience with and improvements for existing parallel languages and
     run-time environments such as MPI, OpenMP, Cilk, UPC, Co-array
     Fortran, X10, Chapel, Charm++, and OpenCL
-   Parallel compilers, programming tools, and environments
-   OS and architectural support for parallel programming and debugging
-   Software and system support for extreme scalability including fault
     tolerance
-   Programming environments for heterogeneous multicore systems and
     accelerators such as GPUs and FPGAs
-   Domain specific languages exploring embedded and stand-alone
     languages, libraries and runtime for focused application areas

Publishing
----------

Paper Format

Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced
double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE
conference style), including figures, tables, and references. The
submitted manuscripts should include author names and affiliations.

Publication

Proceedings of the workshops are published by IEEE CPS; they are
distributed at the conference and are submitted for inclusion in the
IEEE Xplore Digital Library after the conference.
