WHMC 2010 - The first Workshop on Hybrid Multi-core Computing

The first Workshop on Hybrid Multi-core Computing will be held in conjunction with the 17th International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC) being held at Goa, India. The proposed workshop will focus on algorithmic, applied, and analytical issues in hybrid multi-core computing. The workshop aims at bringing together the researchers and practitioners in the rapidly evolving area of hybrid multi-core computing. Hybrid multi-core computing uses a mix of CPUs and special purpose accelerators to arrive at highly efficient, practical, and scalable solutions. This raises several important issues including the mechanism(s) to execute concurrently on a hybrid computing platform.
The workshop will focus on issues emerging out of hybrid multi-core computing. The workshop shall feature invited talk(s) and also contributed research papers. Research papers addressing any of the topics listed below, and possibly beyond, in connection to hybrid multi-core computing are solicited. It is expected that papers are original, correct, and are of high technical quality. Papers should not be currently in submission at any workshop/conference/journal with a published proceedings. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following.
Hybrid computing algorithms and applications
Programming models for hybrid multi-core computing
Issues in hybrid multi-core computing such as load balancing, synchronization
Paradigms for hybrid multi-core computing
Performance issues and models for hybrid multi-core computing
Programming languages and tools for hybrid multi-core computing

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The workshop seeks original, correct, and novel submissions of high quality that are not currently under review at any other venue. Submissions should not exceed eight (8) pages in the two column IEEE conference format including references, tables, and all other material. An appendix can be included but there is no guarantee that the appendix shall also be read by the reviewers. Submissions that deviate significantly from the above guidelines may not be considered. All submitted papers shall be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers before arriving at a decision. More details about the submission procedure will follow soon.
