PROHA 2016, CALL FOR PAPERS
First Workshop on Program Transformation for Programmability in Heterogeneous Architectures
Barcelona, 12th March 2016, in conjunction with the CGO'16 Conference
*********************************************************************************
Important Dates:
Paper submission deadline: 15 January 2016 23:59 (UTC) Author notification: 5 February 2016 Final manuscript due: 26 February 2016
Scope:
Developing and maintaining high-performance applications and libraries for heterogeneous architectures is a difficult task, usually requiring code transformations performed by an expert.
Tools assisting in and, if possible, automating such transformations are of course of great interest. However, such tools require significant knowledge and reasoning capabilities. For example, the former could be a machine-understandable descriptions of what a piece of code is expected to do, while the latter could be a set of transformations and a corresponding logical context in which they are applicable, respectively. Furthermore, strategies to identify the sequence of transformations leading to the best resulting code need to be elaborated.
This workshop will focus on techniques and foundations which make it possible to perform source code transformations, which preserve the intended semantics of the original code and improve efficiency, portability or maintainability.
The topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
* Program annotations to capture algorithmic properties and intended code semantics.
* Programming paradigms able to express underlying (mathematical) properties of code.
* Usage of dynamic and static mechanisms to infer relevant code properties.
* Transformations which preserve intended semantics.
* Strategies to apply transformations.
* Heuristics to guide program transformation and techniques to synthesize / learn these heuristics.
* Tools
