BACKGROUND

The advent of multicore and manycore systems requires that programmers
understand how to design, write and debug parallel programs effectively.
The increased complexity of multi-threaded parallel programming on
multicore platforms requires more insight into program behavior, and
necessitates the use of tools that can support programmers in migrating
existing software to multicore platforms, and in writing new multi-threaded
parallel software. Programmers need increasingly sophisticated methods
for instrumentation, measurement, analysis and modeling of applications.
We need both sophisticated tools to support parallel software development, and an
extensible tool infrastructure that promotes integration of existing and new
tools, and simplifies information exchange and access.

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

 * Static and dynamic analysis tools
 * Instrumentation, measurement, analysis, and modeling of applications
 * Analysis and visualization tools for assisting programmers with parallel
   software design
 * Active testing tools
 * Applications profiling and performance analysis

PAPER SUBMISSION

Submissions should be formatted according to the IEEE standard
double-column format with a font size 10 pt or larger and are limited to 10
pages in length. Submissions should represent original, substantive
research results. At least one author of every accepted paper is required to
attend the conference in order for the paper to be included in the final
proceedings. Proceedings of the workshop will be published in electronic
format and will be available at the conference.
