Topics/Call fo Papers

In recent years, traditional processors have not been able to directly translate chip fabrication-technology advances intro performance gains. To keep satisfying the demand for computing power, there is a shift from homogeneous machines to heterogeneous architectures combining different kinds of processors (CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, and other accelerators). While this approach has allowed significant performance and energy efficiency benefits, heterogeneous systems are often highly difficult to program with existing tools. To reduce the cost of system development, reengineering techniques emerge as a solution which may help to balance ease-of-development with better performance, better reliability, and lower maintenance costs.
The RePara2015 workshop aims to join experts from related disciplines to share recent advances in different areas contributing to better transformation of new and legacy applications to different programming models for diverse computing devices in the context of parallel heterogeneous architectures.
Scope and Interests
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
High-level parallel programming models, libraries and languages for heterogeneous platforms
Description languages for Heterogeneous Parallel Platforms
Parallel patterns for Heterogeneous Platforms
Autonomic management of Power/Performance tradeoffs
Automated kernel identification and assessment
Software refactoring approaches for parallel programming models
Transformations from source code to reconfigurable hardware
Integration of FPGA accelerators into refactored software
Runtimes for software coordination in heterogeneous parallel platforms
Performance modeling and prediction in heterogeneous parallel platforms
Energy efficiency monitoring and prediction in heterogeneous parallel platforms
Software quality assessment in parallel programming models with special attention to maintainability
Applying partitioning and mapping for parallel heterogeneous computing architectures
Application experiences of refactoring to software in industrial domains
Submission Instructions
Papers submitted to the workshop should be written in English conforming to the IEEE Conference Proceedings Format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column). The paper should be submitted through the workshop submission system at the workshop website. The length of the papers should not exceed 6 pages + 2 pages for over length charges.
Accepted and presented papers will be included into the IEEE Conference Proceedings published by IEEE CS CPS and submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, are requested to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE CS after the conference. Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be recommended to special issues of reputable SCI/EI-indexed journals.
Submitting a paper to the workshop means that, if the paper is accepted, at least one author should attend the workshop and present the paper.
Journal Publication
Extended version of selected papers from the workshop will be invited by the RePara2015 program committee for publication, after further revision, in an special issue of Journal of Supercomputing (Springer, ISSN: 0920-8542, Impact Factor 2013: 0.841).
