CALL FOR PAPERS
FHPC 2014
The 3rd ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on
Functional High-Performance Computing
Gothenburg, Sweden
September 4, 2014
https://sites.google.com/site/fhpcworkshops/
Co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming
(ICFP 2014)
Submission Deadline: Thursday, 15 May, 2014 (anywhere on earth)
The FHPC workshop aims at bringing together researchers exploring uses of functional (or more generally, declarative or high-level) programming technology in application domains where high performance is essential. The aim of the meeting is to enable sharing of results, experiences, and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative specifications of computationally challenging problems can serve as maintainable and portable code that approaches (or even exceeds) the performance of machine-oriented imperative implementations.
All aspects of performance critical programming and parallel programming are in-scope for the workshop, irrespective of hardware target. This includes both traditional large-scale scientific computing (HPC), as well as work targeting single node systems with SMPs, GPUs, FPGAs, or embedded processors. It is becoming apparent that radically new and well founded methodologies for programming such systems are required to address their inherent complexity and to reconcile execution performance with programming productivity.
Every year, the FHPC workshop has an application area as a theme. Papers touching on this topic are especially encouraged, though all in-scope papers are welcomed. For FHPC 2014, the theme is "Heterogeneous computing". In the systems and parallelism communities, there has been a lot of work on programming systems with CPUs and GPUs (or other mixed parallel architectures), but in the programming languages community this idea has not received as much attention. At their best, high-level languages can have the degrees of flexibility necessary to abstract over platform differences.
Proceedings
Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital Library.
- Submissions due: Thursday, 15 May, 2014 (anywhere on earth)
- Author notification: Sunday, 15 June, 2014
- Final copy due: Sunday, 22 June, 2014
Submitted papers must be in portable document format (PDF), formatted according to the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (2 column, 9pt format). See this site for more information and style files.
Typical papers are expected to be 8 pages (but up to four additional pages are permitted).
Contributions to FHPC 2014 should be submitted via Easychair, here.
The submission site is now open.
The FHPC workshops adhere to the ACM SIGPLAN policies regarding programme committee contributions and republication. Any paper submitted must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy. PC member submissions are welcome, but will be reviewed to a higher standard.
Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses. PAC also offers other support, such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel from locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC programme, see its web page.
