WAMCA 2018 - 9th Workshop on Applications for Multi-Core Architectures (WAMCA)

Since the advent of the multi-core concept, significant advances have been made on many of the related aspects. Multi-core has become a natural element in the HPC ecosystem, and its pervasiveness within the landscape of common computing devices has made it a standard. Therefore, hardware and software concerns related to multi-core are good targets for computer science investigations, with a high potential for a genuine contribution. Beside the plethora of applications for which more powerful solutions are still expected, efficient implementation techniques for many-core chip processors are of keen interest. WAMCA is aiming at providing an opportunity to address all aforementioned technical challenges and more, including reports on specific case studies. This workshop is an opportunity for application designers and computer architects to discuss new techniques and emerging applications as well as their implications on current and next-generation many-core architectures. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting a technical contribution on multi-core related topics. Aspects of interest include (but are not limited to):
Topics
Multithread parallelisation
Scalability issues
Case study
Hybrid parallelisation
NUMA manycore implementation
Benchmarking and runtime analysis
Frameworks and tools
Foundation of shared memory computing
