Second International Workshop on Performance Portable Programming Models for Accelerators (P^3MA)
June 22, 2017
co-located with ISC 2017 <http://www.isc-hpc.com/>  June 18 - 22, Frankfurt, Germany

CALL FOR PAPERS
High-level programming models aim to provide scientific applications a path onto HPC platforms with minimal loss of portability or programmer productivity. For example, using directives, developers can incrementally port their codes to heterogeneous systems with minimal code changes. Other emerging approaches include Domain Specific Languages (DSLs), C++ metaprogramming, and runtime APIs. Although these approaches attempt to introduce abstraction without performance penalty, programming challenges remain, with their designs, implementations, and ease-of-use on rapidly evolving hardware and diverse memory subsystems.
Programming approaches to address these concerns are continuously being developed within standards committees for C++, OpenCL, OpenMP, OpenACC, and various DSLs. This workshop is designed to assess improved features of programming models (including but not limited to directives-based and C++ library-based programming models), their implementations, and experiences with their deployment in HPC applications.
The workshop provides a forum bringing together researchers and developers to examine heterogeneous computing and how it has been evolving across an increasingly diverse set of accelerated architectures. Including an invited opening keynote address and a closing Q&A panel with all presenters, this workshop will provide perspectives from current research and a chance for attendees to actively participate in this quickly changing and growing area of HPC research.
This workshop will be held on June 22, 2017, colocated with the ISC High Performance Conference in Frankfurt, Germany (http://www.isc-hpc.com).

Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited to):

Experience porting applications using high-level models focused on performance portability and productivity
Hybrid heterogeneous or many-core programming with models such as threading, message passing, and PGAS
Asynchronous task and event driven APIs and execution/scheduling
Performance-portable scientific libraries for heterogeneous systems
Experiences in implementing compilers for performance portable programming on current and emerging architectures
Low level communications APIs or runtimes that support accelerator architectures
Extensions to programming models needed to support multiple memory hierarchies and accelerators
Performance modeling and evaluation tools
Power/energy studies
Auto-tuning or optimization strategies
Benchmarks and validation suites

 Important Deadlines:

Paper Submission Deadline: April 03, 2017 
Paper Acceptance Notification: May 14, 2017 
Camera Ready Paper: June 03, 2017 
Workshop: June 23rd, 2017

Review process
Abstracts and papers need to be submitted via Easy Chair : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=p3ma17

We only accept paper submissions which are formatted correctly in LNCS style (single column format) using either the LaTeX document class or Word template. For details on the author guidelines, please refer to Springer’s website. Incorrectly formatted papers will be excluded from the reviewing process.
Papers submissions are required to be within 18 pages in the above mentioned LNCS style. This includes all figures and references.
The submissions are "single-blind", i.e. submissions are allowed to include the author names.
All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed. The review process is not double blind, i.e., authors will be known to reviewers. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference scope. Submitted papers may NOT have appeared in or be under consideration for another conference, workshop or journal.
