CALL FOR PAPERS

FHPC 2015

The 4th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on

Functional High-Performance Computing

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Canada

September 3, 2015

https://sites.google.com/site/fhpcworkshops/

Co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming

(ICFP 2015)

Submission Deadline: Friday, 22 May, 2015 (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.

Proceedings:

============

Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the

ACM Digital Library.

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.

Travel Support:

===============

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 (http://www.sigplan.org/PAC.htm).
