Abstract

The pervasiveness of homogeneous and heterogeneous multi&#8211;core and<br>many&#8211;core processors, in a large spectrum of systems from embedded and<br>general&#8211;purpose to high&#8211;end computing systems, poses major challenges<br>to software industry&#046; In general, there is no guarantee that software<br>developed for a particular architecture will be executable (that is<br>functional) on another architecture&#046; Furthermore, ensuring that the<br>software preserves some aspects of performance behavior (such as<br>temporal or energy efficiency) across different such architectures is<br>an open research issue&#046;<br>Therefore, this workshop focuses on novel solutions for functional and<br>performance portability as well as automatic tuning across different<br>architectures&#046;<br>Following the successful organization of MuCoCoS 2008 (Barcelona,<br>Spain), MuCoCoS 2009 (Fukuoka, Japan), MuCoCoS 2010 (Krakow, Poland),<br>MuCoCoS 2011 (Seoul, Korea), this year MuCoCoS will be organized at<br>Salt Lake City, Utah, November 16, 2012, in conjunction with the<br>Supercomputing Conference SC12&#046; MuCoCoS 2012 focuses on Performance<br>Portability and Tuning&#046;<br>TOPICS OF INTEREST<br>&#8211; The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:<br>:: Performance measurement, modeling, analysis and tuning<br>:: Portable programming models, languages and compilation techniques<br>:: Tunable algorithms and data structures<br>:: Run&#8211;time systems and hardware support mechanisms for auto&#8211;tuning<br>:: Case studies highlighting performance portability and tuning<br>
