<br>
Workshop Scope and Goals <br>
======================================== <br>
<br>
Current and emerging systems are deployed with heterogeneous
architectures and accelerators <br>
of more than one type (e.g. GPGPU, Intel® Xeon Phi(tm), FPGA)
along with hybrid processors of <br>
both lightweight and heavyweight cores (e.g APU, big.LITTLE).
Such architectures also comprise <br>
hybrid memory systems equipped with stacked/hierarchical memory
and non-volatile memory in <br>
addition to regular DRAM. Programming such a system can be a
real challenge along with locality, <br>
scheduling, load balancing, concurrency and so on. <br>
<br>
This workshop focuses on understanding the implications of
accelerators and heterogeneous <br>
designs on the hardware systems, porting applications,
performing compiler optimizations, and <br>
developing programming environments for current and emerging
systems. It seeks to ground <br>
accelerator research through studies of application kernels or
whole applications on such <br>
systems, as well as tools and libraries that improve the
performance and productivity of <br>
applications on these systems. <br>
<br>
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners who are involved in <br>
application studies for accelerators and other heterogeneous
systems, to learn the opportunities <br>
and challenges in future design trends for HPC applications and
systems. <br>
<br>
<br>
Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not
limited to): <br>
<br>
* Strategies for programming heterogeneous systems using
high-level models such as <br>
OpenMP, OpenACC, low-level models such as OpenCL, CUDA; <br>
* Methods and tools to tackle challenges in scientific
computing at extreme scale; <br>
* Strategies for application behavior characterization and
performance optimization for <br>
accelerators; <br>
* Techniques for optimizing kernels for execution on GPGPU,
Intel® Xeon Phi™, and future <br>
heterogeneous platforms; <br>
* Models of application performance on heterogeneous and
accelerated HPC systems; <br>
* Compiler Optimizations and tuning heterogeneous systems
including parallelization, loop <br>
transformation, locality optimizations, Vectorization; <br>
* Implications of workload characterization in heterogeneous
and accelerated architecture <br>
design; <br>
* Benchmarking and performance evaluation for accelerators; <br>
* Tools and techniques to address both performance and
correctness to assist application <br>
development for accelerators and heterogeneous processors; <br>
* System software techniques to abstract application
domain-specific functionalities for <br>
accelerators; <br>
<br>
Papers Submission Guidelines <br>
======================================== <br>
<br>
Papers should present original research and should provide
sufficient background material to <br>
make them accessible to the broader community. <br>
<br>
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 10 single-spaced
double-column pages using 10-point <br>
size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style),
including figures, tables, and references. <br>
See the style templates for latex or word for details. <br>
<br>
Submissions will be judged based on relevance, significance,
originality, correctness and clarity. <br>
