AsHES 2018 - CALL FOR PAPERS

===========================================================


The Eighth International Workshop on Accelerators and Hybrid Exascale
Systems (AsHES)

http://www.mcs.anl.gov/events/workshops/ashes/2018

May 21, 2018


To be held in conjunction with

32st IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

*Paper Submission:* January 24th, 2018

*February 9th, 2018 (EXTENDED)* (AoE
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth>)



*Workshop Scope and Goals*

========================================

Current and emerging systems are deployed with heterogeneous architectures
and

accelerators of more than one type (e.g., GPGPU, Intel® Xeon Phi™, FPGA)
along

with hybrid processors of both lightweight and heavyweight cores (e.g., APU,

big.LITTLE). Such architectures also comprise hybrid memory systems equipped

with stacked/hierarchical memory and non-volatile memory in addition to
regular

DRAM. Programming such a system can be a real challenge along with locality,

scheduling, load balancing, concurrency and so on.


This workshop focuses on understanding the implications of accelerators and

heterogeneous designs on the hardware systems, porting applications,
performing

compiler optimizations, and developing programming environments for current
and

emerging systems. It seeks to ground accelerator research through studies of

application kernels or whole applications on such systems, as well as tools
and

libraries that improve the performance and productivity of applications on

these systems.


The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners

who are involved in application studies for accelerators and other

heterogeneous systems, to learn the opportunities and challenges in future

design trends for HPC applications and systems.



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

 * Strategies for programming heterogeneous systems using high-level models
   such as OpenMP, OpenACC, low-level models such as OpenCL, CUDA;
 * Methods and tools to tackle challenges in scientific computing at extreme
   scale;
 * Strategies for application behavior characterization and performance
   optimization for accelerators;
 * Techniques for optimizing kernels for execution on GPGPU, Intel® Xeon
Phi™,
   and future heterogeneous platforms;
 * Models of application performance on heterogeneous and accelerated HPC
   systems;
 * Compiler Optimizations and tuning heterogeneous systems including
   parallelization, loop transformation, locality optimizations,
Vectorization;
 * Implications of workload characterization in heterogeneous and
accelerated
   architecture design;
 * Benchmarking and performance evaluation for accelerators;
 * Tools and techniques to address both performance and correctness to
assist
   application development for accelerators and heterogeneous processors;
 * System software techniques to abstract application domain-specific
   functionalities for accelerators;
