[hpc-announce] [CF'24] CFW24 Workshop: 3rd Annual International Compiler Frontiers Workshop, Italy

[Monsalve Diaz, Jose M]

Dear colleagues,

We apologize if you received multiple copies of this invitation.

3rd Annual International Compiler Frontiers Workshop (CFW'24)
Held in conjunction with the 21st ACM International Conference
on Computing Frontiers (CF'24)
May 7 to 9, 2024
Ischia, Italy

https://compilerfrontiers.github.io/

Overview
--------

As architectures grow in complexity and power/performance requirements
evolve far beyond what traditional computing facilities offer,
advances in compiler technology are paramount to enable the
construction of performant, power-efficient, and resilient application
payloads. In this era of expanding architectural possibilities, this
workshop seeks new research in compilers tailored for traditional
architectures but also for the unique challenges posed by physical
computing systems that perform computations based on their analog
behavior. In addition to compiler technologies enabling new features
(co-processors, accelerated instructions, tensor memory architecture
engines, etc.) in traditional architectures (CPUs, GPUs, CGRAs,
FPGAs), this year, in CFW, we seek to explore new compilation
techniques for the intricacies inherent in emerging computing
paradigms, such as analog computing, neuromorphic computing, near and
in-memory processing, chemical reaction networks, among others,
expanding the discussion to creative solutions when compiling for
physical computing systems. This workshop serves as a gathering
ground for researchers and experts from both industry and academia,
fostering the presentation and exploration of the latest advances in
Compilers for Computing Frontiers.

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

Paper submissions due: February 16th, 2024 AOE
Notifications of acceptance: March 15th, 2024
Camera-ready papers due: March 22nd, 2024 AOE

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

This year, we are accepting two types of submissions: Full Papers
and Extended Abstracts.

Full Papers: Authors are encouraged to submit full papers of up to
6 pages, excluding references, describing novel work.

Extended Abstracts: Authors are welcome to submit short papers
describing early-stage, in-progress, and/or exploratory work to elicit
feedback, discover collaboration opportunities, and spark discussion.
Extended abstracts should be up to 2 pages, including references.
Please, during submission, prefix your title with the string "EA:" to
indicate that you are submitting an extended abstract.

Important: All 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: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cfw24
