Workshop on Multithreaded Architectures and Applications
To be held in Conjunction with the
International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2007)
Long Beach, California, March 26-30, 2007
Multithreading (MT) programming and execution models are starting to permeate the high-end and mainstream computing scene. This trend is driven by the need to increase processor utilization and deal with the memory-processor speed gap. Recent and upcoming examples architectures that fit this profileare Cray's Eldorado, IBM Cyclops, and several SMT processors from Sun (UltraSparc T1), IBM (Power5+, Power6), Intel (Xeon with hyperthreading). The underlying rationale to increase processor utilization is a varying mix of new metrics that take performance improvements as well as better power and cost budgeting into account. Yet, it remains a challenge to identify and productively program applications for these architectures with a resulting substantial performance improvement. This workshop intends to identify applications that are amenable to MT and the MT programming and execution models as well as the underlying architectures on which they can thrive. The workshop seeks to explore programming frameworks in the form of MT languages and libraries, compilers, analysis and debugging tools to increase the programming productivity.
Topics of interest are guided by their application impact and include but are not limited to following topics:
Results of both theoretical and practical significance will be considered.
The proceedings of this workshop will be published together with the proceedings of other IPDPS 2007 workshops by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten single-spaced pages using a 12-point font on 8½×11-inch pages, everything included (figures, tables, references, etc.). Manuscripts must be submitted electronically and in either PostScript or PDF format. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the workshop attendees. Submitted papers may not have appeared in or be under consideration for another workshop, conference, or journal.
