CALL FOR PAPERS

             7th International Conference on Partitioned Global
                 Address Space Programming Models (PGAS 2013)
                            Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
                               October 3-4, 2013

==============================**==============================**==============================

Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming models offer a shared
address space model that simplifies programming while exposing data/thread
locality to enhance performance. The PGAS conference is the premier forum
to present and discuss ideas and research developments in the area of: PGAS
models, languages, compilers, runtimes, applications and tools, PGAS
architectures and hardware features.


TOPICS

Submissions are invited in related areas, including, but not limited to:

* Applications. New applications that are uniquely enabled by the PGAS
model, existing applications and effective application development
practices for PGAS codes.

* Performance. Analysis of application performance over various programming
models.

* Developments in Programming Models and Languages. PGAS models, language
extensions, and hybrid models to address emerging architectures, such as
multicore, hybrid,
heterogeneous, SIMD and reconfigurable architectures.

* Tools, Compilers, and Implementations. Integrated Development
Environments, performance analysis tools and debuggers. Compiler
optimisations for PGAS languages, low level libraries, memory consistency
models. Hardware support for PGAS languages, performance studies and
insights, productivity studies, and language interoperability.


SUBMISSION CATEGORIES& GUIDELINES

Papers should report on original research, and should include enough
background material to make them accessible to the entire PGAS research
community. Papers describing experiences should indicate how they
illustrate general principles; papers about parallel programming
foundations should indicate how they relate to practice.

There are three submission categories:

* Research papers: submission of full paper of up to 8 pages at 10pt font.

* "Hot" PGAS papers: submission of extended abstracts, 3 pages maximum at
10pt font.
  Submissions in this category target work-in-progress research and will, if
accepted,
  be given shorter presentation slots than the full research papers.

* Posters: submission of extended abstracts, 1 page maximum at 10pt font.
Publication of conference proceedings

Accepted submissions in the "Research papers" category will be published in
the conference
  proceedings. The Programme Committee will also offer a selection of "Hot
PGAS" submissions
  the chance for publication.
