The 2015 ACM SIGPLAN X10 Workshop (X10'15)
co-located with PLDI'15 in Portland, OR, USA
Sunday, June 14, 2015
http://x10-lang.org/workshop/workshop15.html
Call for Papers
The concurrency and scale-out era is upon us. Application programmers
need to confront the architectural challenge of multiples cores and
accelerators, clusters and supercomputers. A central need is the
development of a usable programming model that can address these
challenges -- dealing with thousands of cores and peta-bytes of data.
The open-source X10 programming language is designed to address these
twin challenges of productivity and performance. It is organized
around four basic principles of asynchrony, locality, atomicity and
order, developed on a type-safe, class-based, object-oriented
foundation. This foundation is robust enough to support fine-grained
concurrency, Cilk-style fork-join programming, GPU programming, SPMD
computations, active messaging, MPI-style communicators and cluster
programming. X10 implementations are available on a wide range of
systems ranging from laptops, to clusters, to supercomputers.
The X10 Workshop is intended as a forum for X10 programmers,
developers, researchers, and educators. We anticipate the program of
the workshop to combine keynotes and presentations of selected papers
with ample time for discussions. We are soliciting both short papers
(4-6 pages) and extended talk abstracts (2 pages). We encourage
submissions on all aspects of X10, including theory, design,
implementation, practice, curriculum development and experience,
applications and tools. This will be a full day workshop.
Important Dates
Abstracts: Friday, March 13th, 2015 (Anywhere on Earth)
Submissions: Friday, March 20th, 2015 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification: Friday, April 17th, 2015
Final version: Friday, May 15th, 2015
Workshop: Sunday, June 14th, 2015
Submission Guidelines
Papers can be submitted at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=x1015.
Submissions may be one of the following:
- Short paper: four to six pages in ACM SIGPLAN proceedings style (9-point
type, all inclusive),
- Extended abstract: two pages in ACM SIGPLAN proceedings style (9-point
type, all inclusive).
Submissions must be in PDF and printable on US Letter and A4 sized paper.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee. During
the workshop, extended abstracts will receive a shorter presentation
and discussion period.
Accepted papers will be hosted on the X10 website. Accepted authors
will have the option of having their paper in the proceedings that
will be published by the ACM.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Curriculum development using X10 and experience
- Applications and experience, X10 programming pearls
- High-level frameworks and libraries: map reduce, parallel matrix and
graph libraries, global load balancing frameworks
- Performance analysis, comparison between performance of X10 application
in managed environment vs native environment
- Foundations: weak-memory models, models of imperative concurrency,
reasoning techniques for dynamic concurrency
- Extensions: fault-tolerance, dynamic places, hierarchical places
- Type systems for concurrency and alias management
- Deterministic computation, phased computations -- clock-based
concurrency, stream-based computation
- Static analyses for atomicity violations, race conditions,
deadlock-freedom.
- Compilation techniques: code generation, compilation for work-stealing,
concurrency and communication optimizations, compilation for scale
- Runtime systems, interoperability with Java, MPI
- Design and evaluation of JVM extensions for X10
- Distributed GC
- Design and experience with development tools (IDEs) for X10
- Performance analysis and monitoring tools
- Testing, bug detection and program understanding tools
- Debugging frameworks, including large-scale debugging, differential
debugging
