IWOMP 2012 - 8th International Workshop on OpenMP

The International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP) is an annual workshop dedicated to the promotion and advancement of all aspects of parallel programming with OpenMP. It is the premier forum to present and discuss issues, trends, recent research ideas and results related to parallel programming with OpenMP. The international workshop affords an opportunity for OpenMP users as well as developers to come together for discussions and sharing new ideas and information on this topic.

IWOMP 2012 will be a three-day event. The first day will consist of tutorials focusing on topics of interest to current and prospective OpenMP developers, suitable for both beginners as well as those interested in learning of recent developments in the evolving OpenMP standard. The second and third days will consist of technical papers and panel sessions during which research ideas and results will be presented and discussed.

We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers detailing innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP.

All topics related to OpenMP are of interest, including OpenMP applications in any domain (e.g., scientific computation, video games, computer graphics, multimedia, information retrieval, optimization, text processing, data mining, finance, signal and image processing and numerical solvers), OpenMP performance analysis and modeling, OpenMP performance and correctness tools and proposed OpenMP extensions.

The theme of IWOMP 2012 is “OpenMP in a heterogeneous world“. IWOMP 2012 solicits submissions that highlight OpenMP work in this context. Examples are advances in technologies, such as multi-core processors and accelerators (e.g., GPGPU, FPGA), the use of OpenMP in very large-scale parallel systems, and recent developments in OpenMP itself (e.g., tasking).

As in previous years, IWOMP 2012 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in Springer Verlag's LNCS series. Submitted papers for review should be limited to 12 pages and follow LNCS guidelines. Submission deadline is Jan. 31, 2012.
