CALL FOR PAPERS

PGAS Applications Workshop at PPAM 2017 (http://pcj.icm.edu.pl/pgasapp2017)

PGAS APP is a full-day workshop to be held at the PPAM 2017 focusing on PGAS (Partitioned Global Address Space) programming model and its application for large-scale parallel systems and multicore processors.

Its goal is to bring together researchers working in the area of PGAS programming paradigm to parallelize large scale applications. The workshop focuses on PGAS programming languages, tools and libraries with the special focus on applications developed within this programming model. The workshop is open to any PGAS languages, with the special focus of new solutions. This workshop will feature papers that explore experiences from application developers in the use of the PGAS programming model for the development of scalable codes. The papers presented practical implementations, scalability and parallelization efficiency are foreseen.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

PGAS Languages and library implementations and their evaluation, Applications development experience with PGAS programming model, PGAS programming model for heterogenous systems, Comparisons between PGAS and other programming models, Benchmark suites and performance studies for PGAS programming model, Optimization techniques.

Please submit full papers via the PPAM Conference submission system (formatted according to the PPAM specification), not previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

Please acknowledge the workshop chair (address below) by sending an email including a cover page with the title, abstract, names and e-mail of the authors. Please submit pdf files.
