# About iWAPT

iWAPT (International Workshop on Automatic Performance Tuning) is a series of workshops that focus on research and techniques that address performance sustainability issues. It provides an opportunity for researchers and users of automatic performance tuning (AT) technologies to exchange ideas and experiences while applying such technologies to improve the performance of algorithms, libraries, and applications; in particular, on cutting edge computing platforms. The full-day workshops consist of invited keynote speaker presentations and 30-minute presentations of well-founded papers. Occasionally, exploratory papers are also accepted. Topics of interest include performance modeling, adaptive algorithms, autotuned numerical algorithms, libraries and scientific applications, empirical compilation, automated code generation, frameworks and theories of AT and software optimization, autonomic computing, and context-aware computing.

We are particularly interested in autotuning and its relationship to the following areas (the list is not exhaustive):

* Machine-adaptive algorithms * Automatic program generation * Performance analysis and modeling * Adaptive numerical algorithms and libraries * Multi- and manycore systems, heterogeneous architectures challenges * Compilation strategies (e.g. iterative and empirical compilers) * Programming models * Runtime systems * Empirical search heuristics * Power- and/or energy-aware computing

# Paper Submission guidelines

Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references. See style templates for details:

LaTex Package (ZIP): http://www.ipdps.org/templates/IEEECS_CPS_LaTeX_Letter_2Col.zip http://www.ipdps.org/templates/IEEECS_CPS_LaTeX_Letter_2Col.zip

Word Template (ZIP): http://www.ipdps.org/templates/IEEECS_CPS_8.5x11x2.zip http://www.ipdps.org/templates/IEEECS_CPS_8.5x11x2.zip

Files should be submitted by following the instructions available at the EasyChair portal (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwapt2018 http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwapt2018). Authors must ensure that electronically submitted files are formatted in PDF format for 8.5x11 inch paper.

Accepted submissions will be included in the IPDPS proceedings.

Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. The authors may use PDF eXpress, the IEEE’s online file converter and validation tool, to complete the final paper submission process. More details about camera-ready will also be announced when notification of the paper.
