Racing 2014
*
**CALL FOR PAPERS**
**
**First Workshop on**
**Resource-Awareness and Adaptivity in Multi-Core Computing (Racing 2014)**
**http://www12.cs.fau.de/
**
**to be held in conjunction with with IEEE European Test Symposium (ETS),**
**Paderborn, Germany, May 29-30, 2014**
**http://www.ets14.de**
**
**Paper Submission Deadline: March 15, 2014*
*Scope of the Workshop:*
The steady advances in semiconductor technology allow for increasingly complex SoCs, including
multiple (heterogeneous) micro processors, dedicated accelerators, large on-chip memories,
sophisticated interconnection networks, and peripherals. However, design, verification, and test
as well as parallel programming of such complex multi-core architectures are very challenging
since they may have to deal with highly dynamic workloads in different application scenarios and
environments. In addition, the architecture might alter itself, either intentionally (e.g., dynamic
voltage/frequency scaling, power management) or unintentionally (e.g., failures, aging).
As a remedy, one recent research trend in multi-core computing is to design control loops across
all platform layers, from application and run-time software down to the status of the underlying
hardware. Concepts such as resource-aware programming and adaptive computing are promising
candidates for optimizing multi-core systems at run-time with respect to several objectives
(utilization, performance, temperature, energy, reliability, dependability, etc.). On the other hand,
the enhanced flexibility and adaptivity of such systems raises questions on the predictability of
program execution.
The Racing Workshop aims at bringing together researchers and experts from both academia and
industry to discuss and exchange research advances from different disciplines in design and test of
multi-core architectures as well as programming and run-time management. A distinctive feature
of the workshop is its cross section through the entire software/hardware stack, ranging from
programming down to multi-core hardware. Thus, Racing is targeted for all of those who are
interested in understanding the big picture and the potential of resource-aware and adaptive
multi-core computing, its challenges, available solutions, and enables for collaboration of the
different domains.
*Topics of the Racing Workshop include, but are not limited to:*
* Resource-aware programming, adaptive computing, and self-x properties
* Resource management, online learning and tuning
* Fault tolerance in multi-core systems at hardware and software level
* Testability, prototyping, and debugging of multi-core architectures
* Multi-core {timing, power, fault, reliability} predictability, security, safety, and performance modeling
* Verification and validation of multi-core architectures Important Dates:
