MULTIPROG-2016 Workshop: Call for position papers and regular research papers





MULTIPROG-2016 is now accepting short position and regular research papers

-----------
CALL FOR PAPERS

Ninth International Workshop on 
Programmability and Architectures for Heterogeneous Multicores
(MULTIPROG-2016)


Held in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on High-Performance 
and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC) 
Prague, Czech Republic, January 18, 2016


Goal of the Workshop
--------------------

Computer manufacturers have embarked on the many-core roadmap, promising to add 
more and more cores/hardware threads on their chips. The ever-increasing number 
of cores and heterogeneity in architectures has placed new burdens on the 
programming community. Software needs to be parallelized and optimized for 
accelerators such as GPUs in order to take advantage of the new breed of 
multi-/many-core computers. As a result, progress in how to easily harness the 
computing power of multi-core architectures is in great demand.

The ninth edition of the MULTIPROG workshop aims to bring together researchers 
interested in programming models, runtimes, and computer architecture. The 
workshop's emphasis is on heterogeneous architectures and covers issues such as: 

    * How can future parallel programming models improve software productivity?
    
    * How should compilers, runtimes and architectures support programming 
      models and emerging applications?
    
    * How to design efficient data structures and innovative algorithms?

MULTIPROG is intended for quick publication of early results, work-in-progress, 
etc., and is not intended to prevent later publication of extended papers. 
Informal proceedings with accepted papers will be made available at the workshop 
and online at the workshop’s web page http://research.ac.upc.edu/multiprog/.


Topics of interest
------------------
Papers are sought on topics including, but not limited to:
    * Multi-core architectures
        o Architectural support for compilers/programming models
        o Processor (core) architecture and accelerators, in particular GPUs
        o Memory system architecture
        o Performance, power, temperature, and reliability issues
    * Heterogeneous computing
        o Algorithms and data structures for heterogeneous systems
        o Applications for heterogeneous computing and real-time graphics
    * Programming models for multi-core architectures
        o Language extensions
        o Run-time systems
        o Compiler optimizations and techniques
    * Benchmarking of multi-/many-core architectures
        o Tools for discovering and understanding parallelism
        o Tools for understanding performance and debugging
        o Case studies and performance evaluation


Important dates
---------------
Paper submission: November 22, 2015 (AOE)
Author notification: December 11, 2015


Paper submission
----------------

MULTIPROG is now accepting contributions of regular research papers and short position
papers describing early research on emerging topics. When preparing your submission please
adhere to the following format specification:

* Regular research papers: Regular research papers should preferably use LNCS format (up
  to 12 pages, not including references). Single column (up to 12 pages) or double column
  (up to 6 pages) formats are also accepted.

* Short position papers: Short position papers should preferably use LNCS format (4-6
  pages, not including references). Single column (4-6 pages) or double column (2-3 pages)
  formats are also accepted. Papers in this category should explicitly indicate "Position
  Paper" as part of the title of their manuscript.

The authors of the accepted papers will be requested to provide the final version of their 
paper in LNCS format.

Please use one of the templates below:
