Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming models offer HPC programmers a shared address space model which simplifies programming while exposing data/thread locality to enhance performance. This facilitates the development of programming models that can deliver both productivity and performance. The PGAS conference is a forum to present and discuss ideas and research developments in the area of PGAS models, languages, compilers, runtimes, applications and tools. Papers, posters and demos are solicited in related areas, including but not limited to:


♦ Applications: New innovative applications that are uniquely enabled by the PGAS model, existing applications that can take advantage of the PGAS model, effective application development practices for PGAS codes, and comparative performance of applications over various programming models.


♦ Models and Language Development: Extensions to the PGAS basic model. New PGAS languages. New models and language extensions to address new architectures, such as multicore, heterogeneous, and reconfigurable processors.


♦ Tools: Integrated Development Environments, performance analysis tools, and debuggers.


♦ Compilers and Implementations: Compiler optimizations for PGAS languages, low level libraries, memory consistency models, hardware support for PGAS languages, performance studies and insights, productivity studies, and language interoperability.


The Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) Programming Models Conference is the premier forum dedicated to the presentation and discussion of research work in this field. 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.

All submissions must be made electronically through the submission link in the web site. Abstracts must include contact information, the full list of authors and their affiliations, and a summary description (100-300 word abstract) of the anticipated content of the paper. Papers must be submitted in PDF format and must be viewable by Adobe Acrobat Reader.


PGAS 2011 will be co-located with PACT 2011 (October 8-12) in Galveston Island, Texas. Galveston Island is a 45-minute drive from Houston Hobby airport, and offers a number of indoor and outdoor attractions.
