ALCHEMY Workshop (Architecture, Languages, Compilation and Hardware
support for Emerging ManYcore systems)

Held in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational
Science (ICCS 2013)

Barcelona, Spain, 5-7 June 2013

*Call for papers*

Massively parallel processors are becoming one of the key actors for the
next embedded and high performance computing architectures. They offer
thousands of cores, integrated memory and network on a single chip. They
also keep a low power consumption compared to regular chip
multiprocessors. As far as today, taking benefit of parallel and
distributed architectures such as GPGPU farms, clusters, grids and
clouds, has exhibited the complexity of offering tight programmability
to the developer, while preserving a high level of performance.
Manycores encounter the same challenges, but they rely on paradigms
coming from CMP architectures.

In this session, we explore  the newest academic and industrial works
that contribute to the efficient programmability of manycores. These
contributions should be from any of the following research fields:
programming languages and compilers, runtime generation, architecture
support for massive parallelism management and enhanced communications,
new operating systems and dedicated operating systems.

ICCS is the relevant place to gather researchers that work both on
novel architecture concepts and execution support for such
architectures. It can also bring useful interactions with the
computational science community in order to match the proposal of new
architectures and programmability support with the computational needs.


*Topics (not limited to)*

- Advanced compilers for programming languages targeting massively
parallel architectures
- Advanced architecture support for massive parallelism management
- Advanced architecture support for enhanced communication for CMP/manycores
- Shared memory, data consistency models and protocols
- New OS, or dedicated OS for massively parallel application
- Runtime generation for parallel programing on manycores.


*Important dates (subject to modifications)*

 Full paper submission      January 25, 2013
 Notification of acceptance       February 15, 2013
 Camera-ready papers        March 5, 2013


*Submission*

Papers should be formatted using the ICCS rules (up to 10 page papers,
single column). See ALCHEMY workshop page and ICCS page for further details.
