Aims & Scope
The drive towards multi-core systems is being led by technology advances such as increasing chip densities and lower design costs of replicated functionality as compared to today’s increasingly complex high-end microprocessors. As multi-core systems are already being sold and deployed, the goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss what software tools — from operating systems and virtual machines on up to programming models — must be developed to make effective use of the computational power of these new architectures.
The format of the workshop will be a half day, with a set of invited talks, presentations selected from the submissions, and a panel discussion or posters to complete the schedule.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Programming models

Managing heterogeneity

Relationship to other parallel computing strategies (embedded and high-end)

Impact on applications

O/S and Run-time management

Virtual machines

Binary translation

Performance tuning
Important dates and deadlines
