                       CALL FOR PAPERS

     The Thirteenth International Workshop on Programmability and
          Architectures for Heterogeneous Multicores

                       MULTIPROG-2020

         **DEADLINE EXTENSION: NOVEMBER 15th, 2019**

To be held in conjunction with:

the 16th International Conference on
High-Performance and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC)
Bologna, Italy, January 20, 2020

Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/multiprog

The ever-increasing number of cores and heterogeneity demanded by AI and
HPC applications has placed new burdens on the programming community.
Software needs to be parallelized and optimized for accelerators such as
GPUs in order to take advantage of the new breed of multi-/many-core
computers. As a result, progress in how to easily harness the computing
power of multi-core architectures is in great demand.

The thirteenth edition of the MULTIPROG workshop aims to bring together
researchers interested in programming models, runtimes, and computer
architecture. The workshop's emphasis is on heterogeneous architectures
and covers issues such as:

-   How can future parallel programming models improve software
     productivity?
-   How should compilers, runtimes and architectures support programming
     models and emerging applications?

MULTIPROG is intended for quick publication of early results,
work-in-progress, etc., and is not intended to prevent later publication
of extended papers. Informal proceedings with accepted papers will be
made available at the workshop and online at the workshop’s web page
https://sites.google.com/view/multiprog
