March 11, 2007
San Jose, CA
in conjunction with IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO)

Submission deadline: January 29, 2007, 11:59PM PDT (extended!)

Program Schedule is here

Call for papers

The drive towards multi-core systems is being led by technology advances such as increasing chip densities and lower design costs of replicated functionality as compared to today's increasingly complex high-end microprocessors. As multi-core systems are already being sold and deployed, the goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss what software tools -- from operating systems and virtual machines on up to programming models -- must be developed to make effective use of the computational power of these new architectures.

The format of the workshop will be a half day, with a set of invited talks, presentations selected from the submissions, and a panel discussion or posters to complete the schedule.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Programming models

Managing heterogeneity

Relationship to other parallel computing strategies (embedded and high-end)

Impact on applications

O/S and Run-time management

Virtual machines

Binary translation

Performance tuning

Important dates and deadlines
