Second International Workshop on

	New Frontiers in High-performance and Hardware-aware Computing 
	(HipHaC'11) 

	February 13, 2011, San Antonio, Texas, USA.

to be held in conjunction with the 17th IEEE International
Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA-17),
colocated with 16th ACM SIGPLAN Annual Symposium on 
Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP 2011) 


Workshop theme: 

Heterogeneity and reconfigurability in computer systems are growing.  Multi-
and manycore-based systems are complemented by coprocessors, accelerators,
and reconfigurable units providing huge computational power.  However,
applications of scientific interest (e.g.  in high-performance computing and
numerical simulation) are not yet ready to exploit the available high
computing potential.  Different programming models, non-adjusted interfaces,
and bandwidth bottlenecks complicate holistic programming approaches for
heterogeneous architectures.  In modern microprocessors, hierarchical memory
layouts and complex logics obscure predictability of memory transfers or
performance estimations.

This workshop aims at combining new aspects of parallel, heterogeneous, and
reconfigurable microprocessor technologies with concepts of high-performance
computing and, particularly, numerical solution methods.  Compute- and
memory-intensive applications can only benefit from the full hardware
potential if all features on all levels are taken into account in a holistic
approach.

Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited
to):

* Emerging hardware architectures (Multi-/ Manycores, GPUs, FPGAs, ...)
* High-performance heterogeneous, adaptive, and reconfigurable computing
* Parallelization strategies in hybrid and hierarchical setups
* Hardware-aware computing and code optimization strategies
* Virtualization and software layers for heterogeneous and reconfigurable
  platforms freeing programmers from dedicated hardware knowledge
* Architecture- and memory-aware approaches for parallel numerical
  applications, implementation, and algorithm design
* Programming models, compiler techniques, and code optimization
  strategies for parallel systems
* Autotuning concepts and run-time adaptivity
