With the emergence of multicore computers, software engineers face the challenge of parallelizing performance-critical applications of all sorts. Compared to sequential applications, our repertoire of tools and methods for cost-effectively developing reliable, parallel applications is spotty. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds in order to advance the state of the art in software engineering for multi/manycore parallel applications.
The workshop is aimed at making parallelism available to a wide range of applications using systematic software engineering methodology. We seek a broad variety of work that furthers the knowledge and understanding of the software engineering and parallel systems communities as a whole, continues a significant research dialog, or pushes the architectural boundaries of multicore software. We solicit original, previously unpublished papers of current or work-in-progress research. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Parallel patterns
- Frameworks and libraries for multicore software
- Parallel software architectures
- Modeling techniques for multicore software
- Software components and composition
- Programming languages/models for multicore software
- Compilers for parallelism
- Testing and debugging parallel applications
- Parallel algorithms and data structures
- Software reengineering for parallelism
- Transactional Memory
- Autotuning
- Operating system support, scheduling
- Visualization tools
- Development environments for multicore software
- Process models for multicore software development
- Experience reports from research or industrial projects
In addition, we also seek express tutorials (30 min duration) that bring participants up to speed in particular topics, such as OpenMP, Transactional Memory, etc.
