itaps-parallel Fwd: [hpc-announce] Call For Papers: WOLFHPC12

[Tim Tautges]

Somebody from the iMeshP effort should submit to this if they're still going to SC.  Of course, I work at a National 
Lab, so I'm not in that group going to SC, otherwise I'd do it.

                         CALL FOR PAPERS

=================================================================

                 Second International Workshop on
        Domain-Specific Languages and High-Level Frameworks
                  for High Performance Computing
                             (WOLFHPC)
                http://hpc.pnl.gov/conf/wolfhpc/2012

                November 16th, 2012, Salt Lake City
                      In conjunction with the
          2012 ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference (SC'12)

=================================================================

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
--------------------

Multi-level heterogeneous parallelism and deep memory hierarchies in
current and emerging computer systems make their programming for
high-performance applications very difficult. The task is made more
challenging by the changing landscape of system architecture mandated
by power and micro-architecture considerations. Domain-specific
languages (DSLs) and high-level frameworks (HLFs) provide convenient
abstractions, shielding application developers from much of the
complexity and variability of explicitly programming in standard
programming languages like C/C++/Fortran. Effective design of such
abstractions for the high-performance computing context requires close
interaction between researchers developing such languages and
frameworks and domain experts with a deep understanding of the problem
to be solved.

While a number of other venues exist that address domain-specific
languages and high-level programming abstractions, none of them focus
on the challenges to performance optimization and implementation on
parallel systems. This workshop seeks to bring together developers and
users of DSLs and HLFs to identify challenges and discuss solution
approaches for their effective implementation and use on a variety of
platforms, including massively parallel systems.

We solicit submissions on all aspects relating to domain-specific
languages and high-level frameworks for the HPC context, including,
but not limited to, the design, implementation, evaluation, or use of:

* Application frameworks
* Domain-specific languages and libraries
* High-level data structures
* High-level aspects of programming languages
* Directive-based optimization approaches

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
---------------------

Extended abstracts should be two or more pages in pdf format and
follow IEEE conference formatting guidelines. In addition to new
ideas, experience stories, challenges faced, and overview of prior
work are encouraged.

At least one of the authors of each accepted submission is expected to
attend and present at the workshop. The final manuscripts of papers
will be made available in IEEExplore as part of SC12 proceedings. The
authors of accepted papers will be also invited to submit extended
versions of their work to a special issue of the Journal of Parallel
and Distributed Computing (JPDC) on High-level Languages and
Frameworks for High Performance Computing that is planned for
publication in 2013.

Submissions can be made online at

********************************************************************************
The hpc-announce mailing list has been setup to have a common mailing
list to share information with respect to upcoming HPC related
events. You are included in this mailing list based on your
participation or interest in a previous HPC conference or other event.

The purpose for providing a single mailing list is to allow
participants to easily identify such emails, and handle them
appropriately. Some options include:

1. If you feel that the number of such emails is too many, filter them
to less-frequently-read folders in your email client.

2. Change your subscription to a digest option
(https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce) which will
consolidate emails sent that week into a single summary email.

3. Finally, if you do not wish to receive any emails from hpc-announce,
you can unsubscribe from the mailing list
(https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce). Once
unsubscribed, we guarantee that you will not be added back in through
participation in a different HPC related conference or event. You will
need to send an email to hpc-announce-owner at mcs.anl.gov to be added
back on.

If you need help with any of the above, please email us at
hpc-announce-owner at mcs.anl.gov.
