****************

We cordially invite you to participate in the 16th International Workshop
on Compilers for Parallel Computing, CPC 2012, organized by University of
Padova's Advanced Computing Group.
The workshop will be held from the 11th to the 13th of January, 2012,
at Palazzo del Bo, in Padova, Italy.

The CPC workshop series started in Oxford, England (1989) and continued,
with an 18-month period, in Paris (1990), Vienna (1992), Delft (1993),
Malaga (1995), Aachen (1996), Linkoping (1998), Aussois (2000),
Edinburgh (2001), Amsterdam (2003), Chiemsee (2004), A Coruna (2006),
Lisbon (2007), Zurich (2009), and Vienna (2010).
The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in
compilation and associated areas, in an informal and relaxed atmosphere
in order to exchange ideas and to foster collaboration. The scope
encompasses all areas of parallelism and optimization, from embedded
systems through to large scale parallel systems and computational grids.
The following is a representative list of topics.

- Parallel programming models and languages.
- Parallelization techniques: user-directed, semi-automatic, automatic.
- Optimizations for exploiting the memory hierarchy.
- Optimizations for exploiting instruction level parallelism.
- Optimizations for power consumption.
- Profile directed and feedback assisted compilation.
- Program analysis and program understanding tools.
- High level specification and domain-specific languages compilation.
- Architectural models and performance prediction.
- Just-in-time compilation.
- Static and dynamic optimization techniques for performance and scalability.
- Parallel runtime systems.
- Continuous program optimization.
- Program analysis frameworks and tools.
- Backend code generation and optimization.
- Compilation and optimization for multi-core systems.
- Performance modeling and tools for performance tuning.
- Architectural support for productive parallelization.

We encourage submission on new and emerging topics and reports on work
in progress. Papers may contain previously published material, but
should reflect the authors' current interest.
To enable a wide representation of research groups, a maximum of two
papers per group will be included.

PROCEEDINGS AND JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
-------------------------------------
Accepted papers will be published in local proceedings, which will be
distributed to the participants. Authors may choose to except their
papers from publication by explicitly notifying the organizers.
Selected original papers presented in the workshop will be published
as a special issue of the International Journal of Parallel
Programming (IJPP).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
------------------------
Authors should submit a one-page abstract and title for consideration to
cpc2012@dei.unipd.it by September 25th, 2011.
Acceptance decisions will be notified by October 23rd, 2011.
Camera ready papers not exceeding 15 pages must be sent by email to
cpc2012@dei.unipd.it by December 4th, 2011 (firm deadline!).
To facilitate the editing of local proceedings, please send both the PDF
camera ready paper and an archive (zip, or gzip, or bzip2 format)
including all source files (LaTeX code, figures, etc) needed to
generate it.
Please format your papers according to the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science template. The necessary files for LaTeX2e can be found
at Springer.

REGISTRATION
------------
At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register
and present the paper at the workshop.
Registration fee is set to 275 Euros + VAT and will also include
lunches, coffee breaks, one social dinner, and local proceedings.
