PSTI 2012 - International Workshop on Parallel Software Tools and Tool Infrastructures (PSTI)

BACKGROUND

The advent of multicore and manycore systems requires that programmers

understand how to design, write and debug parallel programs effectively.

The increased complexity of multi-threaded parallel programming on

multicore platforms requires more insight into program behavior, and

necessitates the use of tools that can support programmers in migrating

existing software to multicore platforms, and in writing new multi-threaded

parallel software. Programmers need increasingly sophisticated methods

for instrumentation, measurement, analysis and modeling of applications.

To help software developers embrace the multicore revolution, we need

both sophisticated tools to support parallel software development, and an

extensible tool infrastructure that promotes integration of existing and new

tools, and simplifies information exchange and access.

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

* Static and dynamic analysis tools

* Instrumentation, measurement, analysis, and modeling of applications

* Analysis and visualization tools for assisting programmers with parallel

software design

* Active testing tools

* Applications profiling and performance analysis

* Data visualization and analysis infrastructures for interaction of tools

PAPER SUBMISSION

Submissions should be formatted according to the IEEE standard

double-column format with a font size 10 pt or larger and are limited to 10

pages in length. Submissions should represent original, substantive

research results. At least one author of every accepted paper is required to

attend the conference in order for the paper to be included in the final
