Recent computer architectures and computer systems are
getting complicated. Multicore processors and heterogeneous computing
system, such as
processors with accelerator, give programmers severe challenges to
optimize the
performance on their programs.
Auto-tuning is one of promising technologies to solve the performance
issues on multicore and heterogeneous computing environments.
Especially,
several research works on methodology and software with auto-tuning
facilities
have been
conducted for numerical computations. Now, the areas of its
adaptation are extending to wide areas in computer science field, such
as embedded
systems and exascale computing.
With the above background, this special session "Auto-Tuning for
Multicore and GPU (ATMG)" makes a chance for discussing the
state-the-art of auto-tuning research to the authors and audiences.
*** Topics of Interest
Papers are solicited in following areas of auto-tuning technologies for multicore and GPU computing, but not limited to:
-Optimized Algorithms for Numerical Libraries
-Automatic Code Generation and Empirical Compilation
-Hybrid Programming for Threads and Processes
-Communication Optimization
-Mixed Precision and Accuracy Assurance for Numerical
Computing
-Power Consumption Optimization
-Fault Tolerance

*** Workshop Program
ATMG Workshop Advance Program (June 19, 2012) New!
*** Submission Guideline
The papers should be prepared according to the IEEE CS format, and no
longer than 8 pages. Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least
three reviewers and will be evaluated based on originality, relevance
to
Session's theme, organization, and technical quality.
Submission of a paper implies that at least one of the authors will
have a full registration to the symposium upon acceptance of the paper.
Proceedings of the symposium will be published by IEEE Computer Society
Press.
All submitted papers to the ATMG should be submitted online.
