With the rapid increase in the complexity and diversity of
computing environments, from embedded systems and multicore processors to grid
systems, development of software that can fully exploit the potential
performance of the hardware has become a difficult and time-consuming
task. As a means of overcoming this difficulty, automatic
performance
tuning technology to enable the software to self-adapt to
the computing environments has recently aroused much interest.
Although there are several successful examples of automatic tuning,
such as the ATLAS library (for basic linear algebra
calculations) and the BeBOP project, this technology is still in its
infancy. To further improve its effectiveness and expand its
applicability, cooperation among researchers in various fields such as
computer science, software engineering, mathematics and statistics is
essential.
The iWAPT2008 is the third of a series of
international workshops
that focuses on automatic tuning technology. The goal of this
workshop is to provide opportunities for researchers and practitioners
in all fields related to automatic performance tuning to exchange ideas
and experiences. Papers reporting original ideas and
results are solicited. Invited talks by leading researchers are also
planned.
Paper Format: Since the camera-ready version of accepted papers must be compliant with the IEEE Xplore format for publication, submitted papers must conform to the following Xplore layout, page limit, and font size. This will insure a size consistency and a uniform layout for the reviewers. (With minimal changes, accepted document can be styled for publication according to Xplore requirements explained in the Xplore formatting guide, which is also in Xplore format).
