[hpc-announce] CFP: AsHES 2023 - The 13th International Workshop on Accelerators and Hybrid Emerging Systems

[Shintaro Iwasaki]

Announcing the call for paper submissions for AsHES '23, the 13th
International Workshop on Accelerators and Hybrid Emerging Systems.

- https://www.ashes-hpc.org/
- To be held in conjunction with IPDPS '23 (May 15-19, 2023)
- St. Petersburg, Florida, USA (in person)

# Workshop Scope and Goals

AsHES 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 and
runtime systems that improve the performance and productivity of
applications on these systems. Topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):

- Applications for hybrid/heterogenous systems;
- Strategies for programming heterogeneous systems using high-level
models such as OpenMP, OpenACC, SYCL, OneAPI, Kokkos, Raja, and
low-level models such as OpenCL, CUDA;
- Methods and tools to tackle challenges from heterogeneity in
AI/ML/DL, BigData, Cloud Computing, Edge-Computing, Real-time Systems,
and High-Performance Computing;
- Strategies for application behavior characterization and performance
optimization for accelerators;
- Techniques for optimizing kernels for execution on GPGPU, FPGA, TPU,
DPU and new emerging 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 heterogeneous systems at
all levels of the system stack;
- 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;
- Innovative use of heterogeneous computing in AI for science or
optimizations for AI;
- Design and use of domain-specific functionalities on accelerators;
- Hybrid neuromorphic computing systems;
- In-memory architectures;
- Dataflow architectures;
