Euro-Par 2018 - 24th International European Conference On Parallel And Distributed Computing

Topic 12. Accelerator Computing for Advanced Applications

Hardware accelerators of various kinds offer a potential for achieving massive performance in applications that can leverage their high degree of parallelism and customization. Examples include graphics processors (GPUs), manycore co-processors, as well as more customizable devices, such as FPGA-based systems, and streaming data-flow architectures.

The research challenge for this topic is to explore new directions for actually realizing this potential. We encourage submissions in all areas related to accelerators: architectures, algorithms, languages, compilers, libraries, runtime systems, coordination of accelerators and CPU, and debugging and profiling tools. Application-related submissions that contribute new insights into fundamental problems or solution approaches in this domain are welcome as well, including big data, data analytics, and computational science/engineering.

Focus

  • New accelerator architectures
  • Programming models, languages, compilers, and runtime environments for accelerators
  • Tools for debugging, profiling, and optimizing programs on accelerators
  • Hybrid and heterogeneous computing mixing several, possibly different types of accelerators, and/or CPUs
  • Parallel algorithms and applications for accelerators, even beyond what is considered suitable for current accelerator architectures
  • Performance modeling and benchmarks for accelerators
  • Library support for accelerators
  • Power-aware/energy efficient solutions for accelerators
