=============== HeteroPar 2015 ==================
The 13th International Workshop on Algorithms, Models, and Tools for
Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Platforms

August 24-25, 2015
Vienna, Austria

http://heteropar2015.ewi.tudelft.nl/

Heterogeneity is emerging as one of the most profound and challenging
characteristics of today's parallel environments. From the macro
level, where networks of distributed computers, composed by diverse
node architectures, are interconnected with potentially heterogeneous
networks, to the micro level, where deeper memory hierarchies and
various accelerator architectures are increasingly common, the impact
of heterogeneity on all computing tasks is increasing
rapidly. Traditional parallel algorithms, programming environments and
tools, designed for legacy homogeneous multiprocessors, will at best
achieve a small fraction of the efficiency and the potential
performance that we should expect from parallel computing in tomorrow's
highly diversified and mixed environments. New ideas, innovative
algorithms, and specialized programming environments and tools are
needed to efficiently use these new and multifarious parallel
architectures.

The workshop is intended to be a forum for researchers
working on algorithms, programming languages, tools, and theoretical
models aimed at efficiently solving problems on heterogeneous
platforms.

ARTICLE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors are encouraged to submit original, unpublished research or overviews
on Algorithms, Models and Tools for Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Platforms.
Manuscripts should be limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS stylesheet and
submitted through the EasyChair Conference System. Accepted papers
that are presented at the workshop will be published in revised form in a special
Euro-Par Workshop Volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after
the Euro-Par conference. Approval for a special issue with selected and revised
articles from the workshop, to be published in the journal Concurrency and Computation:
Practice and Experience, is pending.
