As feature sizes in electronics grow smaller, physical issues such as
bounds on the speed of light, pin counts and 2-dimensional network
layouts threaten to constrain improvements in communication bandwidth
and latency even as increasing core counts improve compute performance.
The resulting limitations force application and system developers to
explicitly optimize communication locality and timing sensitivity by
using explicit communication primitives such as point-to-point
sends/receives, puts/gets and collective operations such as broadcast.
Today message passing is supported by a wide variety of APIs, including
run-time libraries such as MPI, network interfaces such as TCP/IP and
Internet protocols such as HTTP. However, relatively little attention
has been paid to the connection between message-passing runtimes and
programming languages and compilers.
Programming a message-passing system involves the fundamental tasks of
computation partitioning, data partitioning, and data communication. It
poses a distinct set of challenges in the analysis, transformation, and
support of such programs. Significant advances have been made in the
areas programming languages, compiler support, and run-time systems for
message passing programs. Such progress can be accelerated by
integrating and sharing ideas, results, and tools, enabling new parallel
programming techniques and improving the performance and maintainability
of scientific applications as well as collaboration software.
The AMP workshop brings together researchers in academia, industry and
government research institutes to discuss the shared challenges and
present state-of-art research results. It aims to become a focused
forum on subjects in the interaction of programming language, program
analysis, and run-time support of message passing systems. The topics
of interest include but are not limited to
o algorithms and applications
o parallel languages and programmability studies
o compiler and run-time techniques for improving locality,
scalability, and reliability
o performance, testing, and debugging tools
o program analysis tools for message passing programs
o programming constructs to improve the usability of message-passing
AMP is soliciting both position papers (3 pages) and research papers (10
pages) that report previously unpublished work. Papers must be PDF files
in ACM proceedings format, printable on US Letter and A4 paper
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/authorInformation.htm, 9 pt template).
