http://lpgpu.org/wp/pegpum-2018 Sixth International Workshop on
Power-Efficient GPU and Many-core Computing Manchester, United Kingdom, 22 January 2018
Call for Papers/Submissions SCOPE The recent success of advanced mobile platforms coincides with the rising challenge of ensuring a long battery life, and accompanies a larger trend away from increasing processor clock speeds in favor of increasing parallelism. The fact that high performance computing (HPC) is also strongly motivated in this area, as witnessed by the recent Green500 List project, illustrates the timeliness and ubiquity of topics relating to low-power computing. In the last years we have seen the introduction of new computing platforms that include multicore CPUs, many-core GPUs and application-specific accelerators, some of them especially addressing low-power mobile applications. The design of applications, architectures, and supporting programming tools for low-power parallel computing systems is an open and very active research field. This workshop in conjunction with HiPEAC18 on low-power computing intends to foster dialogue and interaction among researchers from academia and industry addressing contemporary challenges in low-power parallel software and hardware design.
PEGPUM 2018 will be held in conjunction with HiPEAC 2018 at Manchester Central Convention Center, United Kingdom TOPICS OF INTEREST PEGPUM 2018 workshop solicits original contributions and/or work-in-progress, position papers in, but not limited to, the following topic areas:
Heterogeneous multicore and GPGPU architectures
CNNs on mobile platforms
Mobile and embedded platforms
Energy- and resource-efficient GPGPU solutions
Application case studies
Programming languages and APIs for many-cores
Graphics and compute interaction
Programming models and tools
New GPGPU applications or re-evaluation of existing ones
Low-power high-performance computing
Evaluation of virtual/augmented reality applications
SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished contributions of up to 6 pages in IEEE double column format (https://goo.gl/MWh7xJ) to be considered as regular papers or 2-page papers to be considered as extended abstracts. Papers will be published via electronic proceedings, both on the workshop website; and upon USB sticks distributed at the workshop. Selected papers will be invited to be submitted to the Elsevier journal Microprocessors and Microsystems: Embedded Hardware Design (MICPRO). Papers should be submitted via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pegpum2018).
IMPORTANT DATES Please note the following important dates for submission: Paper submission deadline: 20 November, 2017 Acceptance notification: 15 December, 2017 Early registration deadline of HiPEAC18: 22 December, 2017
