The REV-A 2018 workshop will be a full-day meeting to be held at the IEEE Cluster 2018, in Belfast, Ireland, focusing on all aspects of vector architectures, programming models, programming frameworks, and applications. Topics of interest, of both theoretical and practical significance, include but are not limited to the following topics:

* Programming framework
* Programming model and language explorations
* Compilation and optimization including:
- algorithmic improvements
- code optimization
* Performance Analysis and Debugging Tools
* Performance Metrics and Evaluations
* Libraries and run-time systems
* Design, generation, verification and validation of representative applications
* Case-studies of representative applications
* Innovative applications for vector architectures
* Hardware studies and micro-architectural implementation tradeoffs

The REV-A workshop proceedings will be published along with the IEEE Cluster Digital Library. Submitted manuscripts should follow the IEEE Xplore format for publication: not exceed 10 single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures, tables, and references. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal. Accepted papers will have a page limit of 8 pages, and authors can purchase an additional 2 pages, for a total of 10 pages maximum.
