HLPP 2011 - 5th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on High-Level Parallel Programming and Applications (HLPP)

As processor and system manufacturers adjust their roadmaps towards increasing levels of both inter and intra-chip parallelism, so the urgency of reorienting the mainstream software industry towards these architectures grows.

At present, popular parallel and distributed programming methodologies are dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message passing, or equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms.

Higher-level, structured approaches offer many possible advantages and have a key role to play in the scalable exploitation of ubiquitous parallelism.

This workshop provides a forum for discussion and research about such high-level approaches to parallel programming.

Topics

We welcome submission of original, unpublished papers in English on topics including (but not limited to) the following aspects of multi-core, parallel, distributed, grid and cloud computing:

High-level programming and performance models (BSP, CGM, LogP, MPM, etc.) and tools
Declarative parallel programming methodologies
Algorithmic skeletons and constructive methods
Declarative parallel programming languages and libraries: semantics and implementation
Verification of declarative parallel and distributed programs
Applications using high-level languages and tools
Teaching experience with high-level tools and methods
