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

Submission deadline: May 31, 2013


Background
=========
Since the beginning of the multicore era, parallel processing has become
prevalent across the board. However, in order to continue a performance
increase according to Moore's Law, a next step needs to be taken: away
from common multicores towards innovative many-core architectures. Such
systems, equipped with a significant higher amount of cores per chip
than multicores, pose challenges in both hardware and software design.
On the hardware side, complex on-chip networks, scratchpads and memory
interfaces as well as cache-hierarchies, cache-coherence strategies and
the building of coherency domains have to be taken into account.

However, the ROME workshop focuses on the software side because without
complying system software, runtime and operating system support, all
these new hardware facilities cannot be exploited. Hence, the new
challenges in hardware/software co-design are to step beyond traditional
approaches and to wage new programming models and OS designs in order to
exploit the theoretically available performance as effectively as possible.

Topics
=====
The focus of this workshop stands in the tradition of a successful
series of events hosted by the Many-core Applications Research Community
(MARC). Although this workshop is not considered as a self-contained
MARC symposium, the organizers and several members of the tentative
program committee are part of the MARC community. Authors from all
related disciplines are invited to submit unpublished papers regarding
software for novel many-core hardware architectures.

- Operating system support for novel many-core architectures
- Many-core aware runtime support for large-scale applications
- Virtualization solutions to deal with hardware limitations
- Tools for performance analysis on many-core systems
- Dealing with legacy software on novel many-core architectures
- New approaches for leveraging on-die messaging facilities
- Experiences porting, running, or developing applications
- Traditional and new programming models for novel many-core hardware
- Bare-metal programming and system software
- Power-aware many-core computing

Program
=======
The workshop takes place on Monday, August 26, 2013. It is scheduled as
half-day. Detailed program TBD.

Paper Submission, Registration, and Publication
======================================
Workshop papers must not exceed ten single-spaced, single-column pages
(LNCS style). On acceptance of the submission, at least one author is
required to register for workshop attendance at Euro-Par 2013 and
present the paper in the workshop session.
Upload your submission to our submission server in PDF format. It must
not be simultaneously submitted to the main conference or any other
publication outlet.

For the workshop, we will prepare hand-outs with the revised papers.
These will be published after the conference in the workshop proceedings
of Euro-Par 2013, part of the LNCS series of Springer.

May 31, 2013: Submission deadline
July 8, 2013: Notification of acceptance
August 15, 2013: Camera ready, revised papers due
