POHLL 2006
Workshop on Performance Optimization for High-Level Languages and Libraries
Full-Day Workshop in conjunction with
20th IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium
(IPDPS 2006)
April 29, 2006
Rodos Palace Resort Hotel, Rhodes Island, Greece
Call for Papers in ASCII
Submit papers through the
EDAS submission system;
Deadline: December 27, 2005
The complexity of software development has led to many efforts aimed
at raising the level of abstraction for the programmer. This includes
both object-oriented general-purpose approaches as well as
domain-specific languages and libraries. While performance
considerations are not paramount for all domains, there are many
domains where high performance is essential. This workshop aims to
bring together researchers from different domains, who have addressed
performance optimization issues in the context of high-level
languages/libraries and problem solving environments, to share their
successes as well as the challenges they face.
Submissions are invited on topics including, but not limited to:
- program synthesis to facilitate the development of high-performance
programs for specific application domains such as signal processing,
computational chemistry, etc.
- compile/runtime techniques for scalable implementation of
"high-productivity" high-performance languages like Chapel,
Fortress, X10
- compiler techniques for optimization of high-level mathematical
languages like MATLAB.
- compile/runtime techniques for scalable implementations of parallel
global-address space languages and libraries, such as Co-Array Fortran,
Global Arrays, OpenMP, SHMEM, Titanium, UPC etc.
- development of high-performance implementations of algorithms (e.g. FFT)
for a variety of architectures, by exploiting special structural
properties of the algorithms.
- automatic optimization of library implementations together with the
optimization of programs that use them.
- efficient synthesis of recursive linear algebra codes that exploit
deep memory hierarchies in current computer systems.
- problem solving environments for high-performance computing
applications
- high-performance computing with object-oriented and component-based
frameworks
This workshop will be of interest to researchers and graduate students
in several areas such as compilation technology, domain-specific
languages, library development, problem-solving environments, etc.
The format of this full-day workshop will include invited speakers and
presentations of contributed papers. All submitted papers will be
peer-reviewed by the program committee, with help from other external
reviewers.
