In addition to the 2014 ACM SIGPLAN X10 Workshop at PLDI on June 12th (look for a CFP on x10-lang.org soon), there will also be a workshop on June 13th focusing on Array-oriented programming that may also be of interest to the X10 community.
ARRAY 14:
ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on
Libraries, Languages and Compilers for
Array Programming
Co-located with PLDI 2014, Edinburgh, UK.
A full-day workshop on Friday June 13th, following the main conference.
Focus and Description
Array-oriented programming is a powerful abstraction for compactly
implementing numerically intensive algorithms. Many modern languages now
provide some support for collective array operations, which are used by an
increasing number of programmers (and non-programmers) for data analysis
and scientific computing. This workshop is intended to bring together
researchers from many different communities, including language designers,
library developers and compiler researchers, who are working on numeric
languages such as R and MATLAB, general-purpose dynamic languages such as
Python and JavaScript, and statically typed languages such as Haskell,
Scala, and C#. The aim of this workshop is to foster the cross-pollination
of concepts across projects and research communities and to explore new
directions, such as:
Expanding the scope of array programming to encompass a wider range
of data types and computations.
Transparently utilizing parallel hardware (multi-core, SIMD, GPU,
FPGA) by leveraging the implicitly parallel semantics of array
operations.
Simplifying the embedding of array constructs within existing
languages which weren't designed for numerical computing.
Connections between array abstractions and other models such as
dataflow programming, stream programming, and data parallelism.
High-level compilation and optimization techniques for array-oriented
programs.
Compilers, virtual machines and frameworks for array-oriented
programming languages.
Important Dates
Paper submissions: Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014 (Anytime on
Earth)
Notification of authors: Friday, April 18th, 2014
Submission of camera-ready Wednesday,May 7th, 2014
copies:
Workshop date: Friday, June 13th, 2014
Submissions
Submissions should be four to six-page papers in ACM SIGPLAN proceedings
style. Submissions may be one of the following:
research paper on any topic related to the focus of the workshop
tool description reporting on a tool relevant to the topic of the
workshop. In the case of a tool description the workshop presentation
should include a demo of the tool, and the submission should include
a short appendix summarizing the tool demo. This appendix is for the
information of the PC only, and will not be part of the published
paper, nor does it count in the six page limit.
Papers can now be submitted using EasyChair
Publication
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
Schedule
This will be a full day workshop. Schedule details will be available after
papers have been accepted.
