The interaction among advanced compilation techniques, modern processor and computing architectures, and associated tools continues to face new challenges and opportunities. Traditional demands to increase performance, reduce power consumption, and reduce time to market now apply to heterogeneous, virtualized and diverse user-experience environments. Extensive data and task parallelism are being exposed by new programming environments such as Halide, Swift, and OpenMP version 4.0, relying on innovative architectures, compilers, binary translation and runtime tools. This workshop will focus on these exciting new directions and how they are influencing the architecture and compilation domain. The workshop will be held in a format similar to that held last year leaving time for networking and presentations.
The main focus of this workshop is the interaction of compiler technologies, processor and computing architectures, and tools to address the latest programming environments and demands. The topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Compilers, runtime and tools for modern server, client, mobile and embedded systems
- Compiler/hardware support for hiding memory and I/O latencies
- Compilation to hardware
- Dynamic translation and optimization
- Heterogeneous architectures and computational models
- GPU, accelerator and coprocessor architectures
- Power/Performance/Monitoring tools for application behavior understanding
- Optimizations for parallel programs, algorithms and applications
