CFP: MuCoCoS Workshop at PACT-2013 (Edinburgh, Scotland, UK)

[SP]

  CALL FOR PAPERS:

6th International Workshop on Multi/many-Core Computing Systems
   (MuCoCoS-2013)

  September 7, 2013, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

   in conjunction with the 22nd Int. Conference on
  Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques (PACT-2013)

http://www.ida.liu.se/conferences/mucocos2013


AIMS AND SCOPE

The pervasiveness of homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-core and
many-core processors, in a large spectrum of systems from embedded and
general-purpose to high-end computing systems, poses major challenges
to software industry. In general, there is no guarantee that software
developed for a particular architecture will be executable (that is functional)
on another architecture. Furthermore, ensuring that the software preserves
some aspects of performance behavior (such as temporal or energy efficiency)
across different such architectures is an open research issue.

Therefore, this workshop focuses on language level, system software and
architectural solutions for performance portability
across different architectures and for automated performance tuning.

The topics of the MuCoCoS workshop include but are not limited to:

 * Performance measurement, modeling, analysis and tuning
 * Portable programming models, languages and compilation techniques
 * Run-time systems and hardware support mechanisms for auto-tuning
 * Tunable algorithms and data structures
 * Case studies highlighting performance portability and tuning.

As the sixth workshop in the series MuCoCoS 2008 (Barcelona, Spain),
MuCoCoS 2009 (Fukuoka, Japan), MuCoCoS 2010 (Krakow, Poland),
MuCoCoS 2011 (Seoul, Korea), and MuCoCoS 2012 (Salt Lake City, USA),
MuCoCoS 2013 will be held in Edinburgh, UK,
in conjunction with the 22nd International Conference on
Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques (PACT 2013).


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The papers should be prepared using the IEEE format
(two-column, 10pt, LaTeX users please use style IEEEtran.cls),
and no longer than 10 pages. Submitted papers will be carefully
evaluated based on originality, significance to workshop topics,
technical soundness, and presentation quality.

Please submit your paper (as PDF, viewable by Adobe Reader v5.0
or higher, with all fonts embedded please) electronically using
the online submission system
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mucocos2013

Submission of the paper implies that, should the paper be accepted,
at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at
the workshop.

Accepted papers will be published in electronic form in
IEEE Xplore (confirmation pending).
They will also be included in the PACT USB proceedings.
We also plan to invite authors of the best MuCoCoS papers after
the workshop to submit their extended workshop papers to a special
issue of Computing Journal (Springer) (confirmation pending).

https://www.springer.com/journal/607/updates/17917580

SCOPE

The domain of autonomous vehicle computing systems is changing rapidly under 
the pressure of an intense competition, the continuous emergence of new markets 
and players. Research and development in autonomous vehicles poses many 
challenges and opportunities both in hardware and software across the Digital 
Continuum: from sensors at the Edge to HPC resources in the Cloud. Hardware 
requirements range from specific processor architectures, efficient SIMD 
processing on graphics processors, and efficient memory hierarchy. Similarly, 
software requirements range from operating system support and specialized image 
processing kernels, to efficient deep learning algorithms for scene and object 
detection. Special attention is paid to power limitations, cost for mass 
production, and safety.

This special issue of Computing addresses recent advances for autonomous 
vehicles in the Digital Continuum encompassing the Edge, Fog, and Cloud 
Computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Workload characterization and benchmarks for autonomous vehicles to be used 
in heterogeneous platforms.
- Special accelerator architectures and microarchitectures to be used on the 
Edge.
- Resource allocation approaches for autonomous vehicle computation needs.
- Scheduling heuristics and run time environment solutions to achieve better 
throughput in computing systems with different constraints.
- Framework and prototype experiences with integration of specialized 
components.
- Testbed implementations with heterogeneous computing resources for autonomous 
vehicles.
- Memory system design for specialized hardware.
- System impact of offloading computation including interconnect technology, 
bandwidth, and data processing.
- Programmability of heterogeneous hardware resources with variable distances.
- Techniques to facilitate configurability or configurable solutions.
- System evaluation and analysis of specialized platforms.

AIMS AND SCOPE

The pervasiveness of homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-core and 
many-core processors, in a large spectrum of systems from embedded 
and general-purpose to high-end computing systems, poses major 
challenges to the software industry. In general, there is no guarantee 
that software developed for a particular architecture will run on 
another architecture. Furthermore, ensuring that the software preserves 
some aspects of performance behavior (such as temporal or energy efficiency) 
across different such architectures is an open research issue.

Therefore, a focus of this workshop is on language level, system software 
and architectural solutions for performance portability across different 
architectures and for automated performance tuning.

The topics of the MuCoCoS workshop include but are not limited to:
- Programming models, languages, libraries and compilation techniques

CFP: Workshop on Exascale Multi/many Core Computing Systems (E-MuCoCoS)

[SP]

***
 Paper submission deadline: June 22, 2015
***
 Workshop on Exascale Multi/many Core Computing Systems (E-MuCoCoS) 

 In conjunction with
 the 18th IEEE Conference on Computational Science and Engineering
 Porto, Portugal, October 21 - 23, 2015 
 
 http://homepage.lnu.se/staff/saplaa/e-mucocos15/
***

***

* CONTEXT

Exascale computing will revolutionize computational science and 
engineering by providing 1000x the capabilities of currently available 
computing systems, while having a similar power footprint. The HPC 
community is working towards the development of the first Exaflop 
computer (expected around 2020) after reaching the Petaflop milestone 
in 2008. There are concerns that computer designs based on existing 
multi-core and many-core solutions will not scale to Exascale 
considering technical challenges (such as, productivity, energy 
consumption or reliability) and reasonable economic constraints. 
Therefore, novel multi-core and many-core solutions are required to 
reach Exascale.
 
E-MuCoCoS will be organized in conjunction with the 18th IEEE 
Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE 2015), Porto, 
Portugal, October 21 - 23, 2015.
