In general, there is no guarantee that software developed for a particular architecture will be executable (that is functional) on another architecture. Furthermore, ensuring that the software preserves some aspects of performance behavior (such as temporal or energy efficiency) across different such architectures is an open research issue. =0A=0ATherefore, this workshop focuses on novel solutions for functional and performance portability as well as automatic tuning across different architectures. The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:=0A=0A- Performance measurement, modeling, analysis and tuning=0A=0A- Portable programming models, languages and compilation techniques=0A=0A- Tunable algorithms and data structures=0A=0A- Run-time systems and hardware support mechanisms for auto-tuning =0A=0A- Case studies highlighting performance portability and tuning SUMMARY:Multi-Core Computing Systems - MuCoCoS - Performance Portability and Tuning PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook MIMEDIR//EN VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20121116T153000Z DTEND:20121116T193000Z LOCATION:255-B DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: The pervasiveness of homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-core and many-core processors, in a large spectrum of systems from embedded and general-purpose to high-end computing systems, poses major challenges to software industry.
