CGO 2012 - CGO '12 10th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization

The International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO) brings together researchers and practitioners working on bridging the gap between software abstraction and hardware execution. The conference spans the spectrum from purely static to fully dynamic approaches, and from pure software based methods to architectural features and support.

Original contributions are solicited in areas including but not limited to the following:

Code Generation and Optimization

Techniques for efficient execution of dynamically typed and higher-level languages
Techniques for developing or targeting custom or special-purpose targets
Optimization and code generation for emerging programming models
Code transformations for energy efficiency
New or improved optimization algorithms, including profile-guided, feedback-directed and machine learning based optimization
Techniques for measuring and tuning optimization effectiveness
Intermediate representations enabling more powerful or efficient optimization
Parallelism

Language features and runtime support for parallelism
Transformations for heterogeneous or specialized parallel targets, e.g. GPUs
Data distribution and synchronization
Virtualization support for multicore and/or heterogeneous computing
Thread extraction and thread level speculation
Static and Dynamic Analysis

Profiling and instrumentation for power, memory, throughput or latency
Phase detection and analysis techniques
Efficient profiling and instrumentation techniques
Program characterization methods targeted at program optimization
Profile-guided optimization and re-optimization
OS, Architecture and Runtime support

Architectural support for improved profiling, optimization and code generation
Integrated system design (HW/OS/VM/SW) for improved code generation, including custom or special-purpose processors
Novel and efficient tools for power, performance analysis, debugging and testing
Memory management and garbage collection
Security and Reliability

Code analysis and transformations to address security or reliability concerns
Practical Experience

Real dynamic optimization and compilation systems for general purpose, embedded system and HPC platforms
Applications of above in emerging technology areas, such as

Web programming environments, application runtimes, optimizations
SOCs, heterogeneous platforms hardware/software co-design, analysis and optimization
