Workshop Overview:

Current hardware and software trends are proving to be extremely complex and
heterogeneous. This poses a serious challenge for developers and scientists
when implementing their application code for a wide variety of architectures,
network interconnects, deep memory hierarchies, accelerators, stacked run-time
layers, among many other features.

This workshop aims to highlight research that automates the derivation of
architecture-specific code, thus simplifying the porting, adaptation, and
deployment process of applications. Such research encompasses techniques that
systematically explore search spaces describing possible optimization
strategies to derive the best target implementation. This includes
architecture-specific transformations and optimization algorithms, performance
and energy modeling, and automatic and hybrid exploration of the search spaces
of strategies.

We are interested in research that spans one or more performance factors such
as the synergistic behavior of compile-time and runtime optimizations,
application to architecture mapping, and the characterization of
input-sensitive programs. The goal of the proposed workshop is to bring
together academics, researchers, application scientists and programmers to
share their preliminary research in all aspects of tuning and auto-tuning
systems.

Workshop Topics:

- Compiler auto-tuning frameworks
- Application characterization
- Program optimization for performance and/or power constraints
- Model-driven analysis and optimizations
- Program generators
- Space exploration techniques
- Domain specific languages
- Adaptive run-times and frameworks

Submission and Registration:

Abstracts and papers should  be submitted via the EasyChair conference system:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=omase19

OMASE will accept full papers (8 pages) and short/position papers (5 pages).
Please use version 1.54 or above of the following template to prepare your manuscript:

https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

with 10pt font. Make sure to use the sigplan subformat. Visit the SIGPLAN Author
Resources page (http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/) for further information on
SIGPLAN manuscript formatting.

Papers must be submitted in PDF format (readable by Adobe Acrobat
Reader 5.0 and higher) and formatted for 8.5" x 11" (U.S. Letter).

Papers should present original research and should provide sufficient
background material to make them accessible to the broader community. It
should not be submitted in parallel to any other conference or journal.

Acceptance of a paper commits at least one of the authors to register at
CGO'19 and present the work.

Proceedings:

OMASE will not have formal proceedings. We will however, share accepted papers
in the Workshop’s website.
