========================================================= IMPAR 2008 The Impact of New Architectures on Parallel Programming (in conjunction with the conference CSE'08 - July 16-18, 2008 Sao Paulo - Brazil)

Although parallel programming has been a concern for decades, the new generation of processors has fostered the research in the area. Multicore chips have become a standard, without any clear new solution to program them, besides OpenMP, Posix Threads and MPI. Moreover, the increase in the number of cores that is expected within the chips has already raised the issue of the performance. For instance, the scalability of parallel programs running on chips multicores, with clear bottlenecks such as a unique memory bus, is an issue. The treatment of Non-Uniform Memory Accesses in the current parallel languages or libraries is an other open point which may turn crucial as the number of cores increases. Finally, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are also emerging as a new source of parallel platforms.

This workshop aims at discussing the renewed problematics of parallel programming, given these new trends in processor architecture. It is open to all researchers, academic or industrial, who are working in the field of Parallel Programming. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Parallel Languages and Libraries. - Tools for parallel programming: debuggers, libraries and performance analyzers. - Compilers. - Scheduling. - Influence of the architectural design on the performance of a parallel program. - Models for Parallel Programming. - Programmation of GPUs. - Performance Evaluation. - Parallel Applications.

The authors are invited to submit original papers of 6 pages maximum, in PDF format with 5-10 keywords following the IEEE two-column format (available at http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html). The final version of the accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press with the proceedings of the CSE-08 workshops.

The papers should be submitted through the Easy Chair system, following the link: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=impar08. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. For no-show authors, their papers will be removed from the digital library after the conference and their affiliations will receive a notification.

Important dates: * Paper submission due: March, 1st. * Notification of Acceptance: April, 1st. * Final Camera Ready paper: April, 25th.
