NEW THIS MONTH! | StreamPPOT at ICS 2009 (Call for Participation) |
| Title: | TUTORIAL on Embedded Streaming: Parallel Programming, Optimization and Tools |
| Submission Deadline: | 2009-06-12 |

| Contact Email: | harm.munk@nxp.com |
| Synopsis: |
| To achieve efficient implementations on multicore architectures, especially in view of prevalent real-time requirements, streaming applications need to be carefully partitioned into independent or pipelined computation tasks considering the available processing, memory and communication resources. These challenges led to the development of supporting tool-chains, including that of the recent ACOTES (Advanced Compiler Technologies for Embedded Streaming) project. The ACOTES approach focuses on compiler-assisted mapping of streaming tasks onto highly parallel systems. This tutorial presents the tool-chain and programming model designed in the ACOTES project. |

| PPoPP is a forum for leading work on all aspects of parallel programming, including foundational results, techniques, tools, and practical experience. In the context of the symposium, "parallel programming" is construed to encompass work on concurrent, multithreaded, distributed programming for multicores, accelerators, multiprocessors, and tightly-clustered systems. Given the rise of multicore processors, PPoPP is particularly interested in work that seeks to transition parallel programming into the computing mainstream. Papers should report on original research relevant to parallel programming, and should contain enough background material to make them accessible to the entire parallel programming research community.
