PSTI 2016 - Sixth International Workshop on Parallel Software Tools and Tool Infrastructures

The advent of multi-core and heterogenous systems with accelerators requires that programmers understand how to design, write and debug corresponding parallel programs effectively.
The increased complexity of multi-threaded and/or accelerator-based parallel programming requires more insight into program behavior, and necessitates the use of tools that can support programmers in migrating existing software to multicore/accelerator platforms, and in writing new parallel software. Programmers need increasingly sophisticated methods for instrumentation, measurement, analysis and modeling of applications.
To help software developers embrace the complex platform landscape today, 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.
The workshop invites paper submissions on the following topics:
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
