[Bernhard Egger]

ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization 
(CGO 2023)

                                  Final Call for Papers

Co-located with PPoPP, HPCA and CC
Montreal, Canada
February 25 - March 1, 2023
https://www.cgo.org/


The International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO) is 
a premier
venue to bring together researchers and  practitioners working at the 
interface of
hardware and software on a wide range of optimization and code 
generation techniques
and related issues.  The conference spans the spectrum from purely 
static to fully
dynamic approaches, and from pure software-based methods to specific 
architectural
features and support for code generation and optimization.


IMPORTANT DATES

Paper Submission: September 2, 2022
Author Rebuttal Period: October 26 - October 28, 2022
Paper Notification: November 7, 2022
Artifact Evaluation Deadline: November 28, 2022
Artifact Evaluation Notification: December 20, 2022


TOPICS

Original contributions are solicited on, but not limited to, the 
following topics:
* Code Generation, Translation, Transformation, and Optimization for 
performance,
   energy, virtualization, portability, security, or reliability 
concerns, and
   architectural support
* Efficient execution of dynamically typed and higher-level languages
* Optimization and code generation for emerging programming models, 
platforms,
   domain-specific languages
* Dynamic/static, profile-guided, feedback-directed, and machine 
learning based
   optimization
* Static, Dynamic, and Hybrid Analysis for performance, energy, memory 
locality,
   throughput or latency, security, reliability, or functional debugging
* Program characterization methods
* Efficient profiling and instrumentation techniques; architectural support
* Novel and efficient tools
* Compiler design, practice and experience
* Compiler abstraction and intermediate representations
* Vertical integration of language features, representations, optimizations,
   and runtime support for parallelism
* Solutions that involve cross-layer (HW/OS/VM/SW) design and integration
* Deployed dynamic/static compiler and runtime systems for general purpose,
   embedded system and Cloud/HPC platforms
* Parallelism, heterogeneity, and reconfigurable architectures
* Optimizations for heterogeneous or specialized targets, GPUs, SoCs, CGRA
* Compiler support for vectorization, thread extraction, task scheduling,
   speculation, transaction, memory management, data distribution and
   synchronization


CALL FOR TOOL AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE PAPERS

In recent years CGO had a special category of papers called "Tools and 
Practical
Experience," which was very successful. CGO this year will have the same 
category
of papers. Such a paper is subject to the same page length guidelines, 
except that
it must give a clear account of its functionality and a summary about 
the practice
experience with realistic case studies, and describe all the supporting 
artifacts
available.

For papers submitted in this category that present a tool, it is 
mandatory to submit
an artifact to the Artifact Evaluation process and to be successfully 
evaluated.
These papers will initially be conditionally accepted based on the 
condition that
an artifact is submitted to the Artifact Evaluation process and that 
this artifact
is successfully evaluated. Authors are not required to make their tool 
publicly
available, but we do require that an artifact is submitted and 
successfully evaluated.

Papers submitted in this category presenting practical experience are 
encouraged
but not required to submit an artifact to the Artifact Evaluation process.

The selection criteria for papers in this category are:
* Originality: Papers should present CGO-related technologies applied to 
real-world
   problems with scope or characteristics that set them apart from 
previous solutions.
* Usability: The presented Tools or compilers should have broad usage or 
applicability.
   They are expected to assist in CGO-related research, or could be 
extended to investigate
   or demonstrate new technologies. If significant components are not 
yet implemented,
   the paper will not be considered.
* Documentation: The tool or compiler should be presented on a web-site 
giving docu-
   mentation and further information about the tool.
* Benchmark Repository: A suite of benchmarks for testing should be 
provided.
* Availability: Preferences will be given to tools or compilers that are 
freely
   available (at either the source or binary level). Exceptions may be 
made for industry
   and commercial tools that cannot be made publicly available for 
business reasons.
* Foundations: Papers should incorporate the principles underpinning 
Code Generation
   and Optimization (CGO). However, a thorough discussion of theoretical 
foundations
   is not required; a summary of such should suffice.
* Artifact Evaluation: The submitted artifact must be functional and 
supports the
   claims made in the paper.  Submission of an artifact is mandatory for 
papers
   presenting a tool.


ARTIFACT EVALUATION

The Artifact Evaluation process is run by a separate committee whose 
task is to assess
how the artifacts support the work described in the papers. This process 
contributes
to improved reproducibility in research that should be a great concern 
to all of us.
There is also some evidence that papers with a supporting artifact 
receive higher
citations than papers without (Artifact Evaluation: Is It a Real 
Incentive? by
B. Childers and P. Chrysanthis).

Authors of accepted papers at CGO have the option of submitting their 
artifacts for
evaluation within two weeks of paper acceptance. To ease the 
organization of the AE
committee, we kindly ask authors to indicate at the time they submit the 
paper,
whether they are interested in submitting an artifact. Papers that go 
through the
Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of approval 
printed on
the papers themselves. Additional information is available on the CGO AE 
web page.
Authors of accepted papers are encouraged, but not required, to make 
these materials
publicly available upon publication of the proceedings, by including 
them as "source
materials" in the ACM Digital Library.

Authors should carefully consider the difference in focus with the 
co-located con-
ferences when deciding where to submit a paper. CGO will make the 
proceedings freely
available via the ACM DL platform during the period from two weeks 
before to two weeks
after the conference. This option will facilitate easy access to the 
proceedings by
conference attendees, and it will also enable the community at large to 
experience
the excitement of learning about the latest developments being presented 
in the
period surrounding the event itself.
