HMC 2014 - International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multicore Systems and Applications (HMC'2014)

Nowadays, heterogeneous computing systems (HCS) equipped with multicore processors and accelerators are becoming more and more pervasive such as the popular CPU-GPU integration found in systems ranging from mobile devices to supercomputers. This growing trend is forcing programmers to address issues and challenges in adapting legacy serial programs into heterogeneous parallel programs. One of the most critical issues occurs in how applications are mapped and scheduled in HCS so as to satisfy performance and power constraints. A recent trend is to work on the distribution of the computational workload in applications on HCS, including task partitioning, auto-tuning of platform parameters, task migration, to list a few.
The International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multicore Computing Systems (HMC) will be an invigorating platform for domain experts, as well as, interested parties to engage in the discussions of state-of-the-art and novel techniques for addressing critical issues in the design of heterogeneous multicore computing systems.
