Recent advances in computer architecture and computing systems (such as, multicore processors and hybrid systems with accelerators) have made it very challenging for programmers to reach the performance potential of current systems. In addition, recent advances in numerical algorithms and software optimizations have tremendously increased the number of alternatives for solving a problem, which further complicates the software tuning process. These issues have led researchers to the idea of software systems that can automate the performance tuning process by running a large set of empirical evaluations to configure applications and libraries on the targeted computing platform.
The Fourth international Workshop on Automatic Performance Tuning (iWAPT2009) is an International workshop that provides opportunities for researchers and practitioners in all fields related to automatic performance tuning to exchange ideas and experiences on algorithms, libraries, and applications tuned for recent computing platforms. This workshop will consist of a few invited speaker presentations from leading researchers in academia or industry, and several presentations of peer-reviewed papers that report the latest results in auto-tuning research.
Papers are solicited in following areas of automatic performance tuning including, but not limited to:
File format - PDF format
Paper length - maximum 15 pages
Paper style - Springer LNCS format: Latex templates are available from here.
Submission must be made through the web form. See: http://iwapt.org/2009/submit/.
Abstracts (10pt, single-column, a maximum of 300 words, one A4-page) on a wide range of automatic performance tuning topics (as listed above) are welcome. The manuscripts should include the following:
The authors are responsible for the printing of display material. The poster board size is 110cm width by 170cm height. A table for PC demonstration with 100V electricity and wireless LAN can be provided on prior request. In addition, the iWAPT2009 conference has an indexing session of the poster presentaions. The authors are also responsible for the five minutes talk of the material.
Questions regarding the workshop should be forwarded to cfp2009_at_iwapt.org (replacing "_at_" by "@" in the email address).
All accepted papers will appear on the workshop website.
