Workshop on
 Program Generation and Transformation  for HPC Applications

at the

 2011 International Conference on Computational Science (ICCS 2011)
 http://www.iccs-meeting.org/
 Tsukuba, Japan, June 1-3, 2011

The efficient use of current hardware for applications in the area of high performance computing requires specific programming skills and awareness of hardware-specific programming languages/interfaces. For complicated numerical models with a large source code base a manual adaptation of the source
code  to frequently updated hardware environments becomes increasingly untenable. Software transformation systems, automated code generation  from domain-specific higher-level abstractions, and automated code optimization are the most promising approaches to bridge the gap between numerical models
written in higher-level programming languages and the hardware-specific programming models one has to use to achieve maximal efficiency.  Examples are source transformation systems such as Stratego and ROSE,  and application areas such as automatic differentiation, performance optimization,
automated extraction of computational kernels. To define efficient techniques for the automated manipulation of software, scientists will need compiler front-ends to support relevant HPC languages,  the ability to do custom analysis and transformations, and  back-ends to generate either source code
or object code. The goal of this workshop is to bring together developers and users of such tools to illustrate the state of the art and advance areas of common interest.
