WOLFHPC 2015
Fifth International Workshop on
Domain-Specific Languages and High-Level Frameworks for High Performance Computing
November 16, 2015
Full-day workshop in conjunction with
Austin, Texas, USA
Held in cooperation with ACM SIGHPC
Workshop location: Hilton 408 (next to the Austin Convention Center)
Workshop Description
Multi-level heterogeneous parallelism and deep memory hierarchies in
current and emerging computer systems make their programming for
high-performance applications very difficult. The task is made more
challenging by the changing landscape of system architecture mandated
by power and micro-architecture considerations. Domain-specific
languages (DSLs) and high-level frameworks (HLFs) provide convenient
abstractions, shielding application developers from much of the
complexity and variability of explicitly programming in standard
programming languages like C/C++/Fortran. Effective design of such
abstractions for the high-performance computing context requires close
interaction between researchers developing such languages and
frameworks and domain experts with a deep understanding of the problem
to be solved.
While a number of other venues exist that address domain-specific
languages and high-level programming abstractions, none of them focus
on the challenges to performance optimization and implementation on
parallel systems. This workshop seeks to bring together developers
and users of DSLs and HLFs to identify challenges and discuss solution
approaches for their effective implementation and use on a variety of
platforms, including massively parallel systems.
We solicit submissions on all aspects relating to domain-specific
languages and high-level frameworks for the HPC context, including,
but not limited to, the design, implementation, evaluation, or use of:
- Application frameworks
- Domain-specific languages and libraries
- High-level data structures
- High-level aspects of programming languages
- Directive-based optimization approaches
Submission Guidelines
Submissions should be two or more pages in pdf format but less than 10 pages (all inclusive) and
follow
ACM conference formatting guidelines. In addition to new ideas,
experience stories, challenges faced, and overview of prior work are
encouraged.
At least one of the authors of each accepted submission is expected to
attend and present at the workshop. The final manuscripts of papers
will be archived in co-operation with ACM SIGHPC.
Submissions can be made online at
easychair.
