15th International Workshop on
High-Level Parallel Programming Models and
Supportive Environments

held in conjunction with

Atlanta, GA, USA, April 19-23, 2010

Scope

The 15th HIPS workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting at the IPDPS 2010 conference in Atlanta, focuses on high-level programming of multiprocessors, compute clusters, and massively parallel machines. Like previous workshops in the series, which was established in 1996, this event serves as a forum for research in the areas of parallel applications, language design, compilers, runtime systems, and programming tools. It provides a timely and lightweight forum for scientists and engineers to present the latest ideas and findings in these rapidly changing fields.

Topics of Interest

This year we especially encourage innovative approaches in the areas of emerging programming models for large-scale parallel systems and many-core architectures. The topics include but are not limited to:

• New programming languages and constructs for exploiting parallelism and locality
• Experience with and improvements for existing parallel languages and run-time environments such as MPI, OpenMP, Cilk, UPC, and Co-array Fortran
• Parallel compilers, programming tools, and environments
• (Scalable) tools for performance analysis, modeling, monitoring, and debugging
• OS and architectural support for parallel programming and debugging
• Software and system support for extreme scalability including fault tolerance
• Programming environments for heterogeneous multicore systems and accelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs, and Cell

Schedule and Submission Procedure

The HIPS workshop proceedings will be published electronically along with the IPDPS conference proceedings via IEEE Xplore. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted according to IPDPS proceedings guidelines: 10-point fonts, single-spaced, and two-column format. The page size is US letter (8.5x11 inch). The maximal length is 8 pages. All papers must be in English.

The workshop uses the EDAS conference manager for submission and notification. An author needs to register with EDAS as a user if this has not been done previously. Start the paper by providing the title and the abstract in plain text, and then submit the full paper in PDF. Please click here to start the process and follow the instructions. If you experience any problem, please contact us immediately.

Final Paper Submission

The deadline for the camera-ready paper is February 15, 2010 midnight PST. Papers should be uploaded to the IPDPS website and not EDAS. During the submission process on the IPDPS website, you will be required to provide your paper's EDAS ID as your paper number. The web page with detailed instructions, also including the author kit for the workshop papers, is available at the IPDPS home page.
