Call For Papers:

Partitioned Global Address Space [PGAS] and shared memory programming models such as UPC,

Co-Array Fortran, OpenSHMEM and OpenMP offer mechanisms to expose applications to globally

shared memory and native thread/task parallelism. However, with the advent of

heterogeneous computing architectures, there exists a significant gap in coupling PGAS-style

languages to non-traditional computing devices such as GPU's and reconfigurable processors.

This workshop shall serve as a forum to present research developments and language-extensions

for tightly coupled PGAS/shared memory languages and heterogeneous architectures.

Papers, language-extension proposals and demos are solicited in, but not limited to, the

following areas:

* Heterogeneous Memory: Memory locality in heterogeneous PGAS applications;

: memory performance considerations;

: data movement activities in heterogeneous memory systems

* Language Extensions: Language extensions to directly address thread/task-level memory locality;

: Tiered PGAS resource utilization; portable heterogeneous PGAS applications

* Compilers and Runtime Systems: Hybrid PGAS compilers;

: mixed-architecture object payloads;

: scalable, heterogeneous runtime systems for PGAS

* Debugging/Performance Tools and Techniques: Debugging PGAS-enabled, heterogeneous architectures;

: numerical accuracy in heterogeneous PGAS
