                               CFW 2022
            1st Annual Compiler Frontiers Workshop (2022)
                Held in conjunction with the 19th ACM
     International Conference on Computing Frontiers
                  https://compilerfrontiers.github.io/

Overview
--------

As architectures grow in complexity and power/performance requirements evolve
far beyond what traditional data center environments offer, we find that
compilers are becoming increasingly paramount in constructing performant,
power-efficient, and resilient application payloads. The ability to build
programming model support, compilers, optimizers, and associated tooling for
advanced architectures is now at the forefront of computer science and
computer architecture research. This workshop seeks to bring together
researchers and experts from industry and academia to present the latest
advances in Compilers for Computing Frontiers.

Topics
------

This workshop will emphasize novel, disruptive research ideas over
incremental advances. We will solicit  papers on topics including,
but not limited to, the following areas:

* Compiler extensions for HPC, HPDC, IoT, Cloud, and Edge computing
* Compiler design for low power environments
* Compiler design for extreme parallelism
* Compiler optimizations and optimization frameworks
* Compiler optimizations for high-level abstractions
* Extensions to existing compiler frameworks: CLANG, GCC, MLIR, LLVM, etc.
* Template meta-programming constructs
* Domain-specific language compilers
* Compiler re-targeting for non-traditional/special-purpose architectures
* Compiler extensions for AI/ML architectures
* Application of ML to compiler technologies
* Compiler design for hardware description languages
* Compiler extensions for High-Level Synthesis tools targeting FPGAs or ASICs


Important Dates
----------------

Paper submissions due: February 21, 2022
Notifications of acceptance: March 21, 2022
Camera-ready papers due: April 4, 2022
Workshop date: during Computing Frontiers conference (May 17-19, 2022)


Submission Guidelines
----------------------

Authors are encouraged to submit papers of up to 6 pages, excluding references,
describing novel work. Authors are welcome to make submissions describing
early-stage, in-progress, and/or exploratory work in order to elicit feedback,
discover collaboration opportunities, and spark discussion. Accepted papers
will be published in the workshop section of the Computing Frontiers
proceedings.

All paper submissions must adhere to the official ACM conference format. As
the review process is double-blind, removal of all identifying information
from paper submissions is required (i.e., cite own work in third person).
Papers not conforming to the above submission policies on formatting, page
limits, and the removal of identifying information will be automatically
rejected. Authors are strongly advised to submit their papers with the final
list of authors, as changes may not be feasible later.

All papers must be submitted through the official submission website:
