* A4MMC: 2nd Workshop on Applications for Multi- and Many-Core Processors * * (http://www.pds.ewi.tudelft.nl/a4mmc) * * held in conjunction with ACM/IEEE ISCA 2011 * * (http://isca2011.umaine.edu) * * co-organized by Delft University of Technology and VU University Amsterdam * ============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (also attached in a printer-friendly version) The Applications for Multi and Many Cores Processors (A4MMC) workshop, held in conjunction with the 38th International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA), focuses on application case studies. With A4MMC, we aim to provide a forum where multi and many core application designers can exchange knowledge, insights and discoveries, and discuss their latest research advances. Further, by collocating A4MMC with ISCA, we aim to directly expose the software community's findings, requirements, and problems to a select audience of top computer architecture researchers. We believe we offer an ideal opportunity for software and hardware researchers to communicate and debate on how to find the right balance between these two sides of the "multi-core revolution". We encourage authors working on all aspects of applications for multi/many core platforms to submit their unpublished research work. The topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Applications and algorithms case-studies + Application implementation and optimization on MMCPs + Evaluation and/or implementation of new algorithms on MMCPs + Porting and parallelization strategies + MMCP-aware algorithms * Programming Models and Tools + Evaluations of "classical" parallelization paradigms on MMCPs + Evaluations of existing MMCP programming models + Comparisons of application implementations using different MMCP programming models + Compilers, debuggers, profilers * Performance and Power Analysis + Methodologies, Metrics, and Benchmarking + Comparative studies of MMCPs architectures, focusing on performance, efficiency, and/or power-consumption + Evaluating and tuning application power-footprints + Power-efficient MMCP algorithms We invite two types of submissions: Full papers ~~~~~~~~~~~ Not to exceed 12 pages in LNCS format, providing application analysis, a presentation of the used algorithms and specific design or implementation techniques, as well as the performance evaluation and/or analysis of the application on the target platform(s). Ideally, papers will also indicate essential requirements and/or useful features that should be included in the next generation of hardware for improving application performance, platform efficiency, and/or programming productivity. Short papers ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Not to exceed 4 pages (plus 1 additional page only used for bibliography/annexes) in LNCS format, discussing work in progress for interesting applications. Application analysis and promising parallelization strategies/techniques/models should be included. Preliminary performance results are appreciated, but not mandatory. For any accepted paper, at least one author is expected to attend the workshop and present the paper. The A4MMC organizers investigate opportunities to publish the workshop post-proceedings in a LNCS joint volume with several ISCA workshops or in a special journal issue. More information will be posted, as it becomes available, on the workshop website. Important dates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The deadline for both full and short papers is April 4th, 2011, 23:59:59 PM CET (check http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html for other time zones). Author notifications are due on April 29th, 2011, and the final versions of accepted papers are expected not later than May 15th, 2011.
