Abstract

As heterogeneous node architectures are becoming more prevalent for mainstream computing systems, the requirement for simple and platform portable programming methods manifests in a number of different programming strategies&#046; Application developers that want to migrate existing to or develop new applications for these novel platforms, are looking for best&#8211;practice approaches that offer a reasonable results in a short period of development time&#046; As a result domain specific languages as well as directive based programming methods are welcome strategies when targeting heterogeneous system architectures, since they can abstract the underlying hardware specific details of low&#8211;level programming approaches and have shown to offer very good productivity&#046; The holy grail for all such strategies is to achieve not only a platform portability but also offer an application performance the is comparable to the low&#8211;level programming models on multiple platforms without code changes&#046; The proposed workshop will solicit papers and presentations both on the methodology of these approaches as well as best&#8211;practice experiences from early adopters&#046;<br>Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited to):<br>Directives&#8211;based programming models for current and emerging systems<br>Ideas and implementations for language extensions<br>Language extensions or programming strategies for memory hierarchies<br>Interoperability and Composability with low&#8211;level APIs<br>Users’ experiences and implementations<br>Scientific libraries interoperability with directive&#8211;based programming models<br>Exploring high&#8211;level prescriptive or descriptive programming approaches<br>Hybrid programming approaches (OpenMP + MPI, MPI +X, MPI + OpenACC and so on)<br>Task&#8211;based programming (asynchronous execution, scheduling)<br>Translating to low&#8211;level API, design approaches and challenges<br>Experiences developing applications for current and emerging systems<br>Challenges in maintaining a portable yet single code base<br>Debugging, performance evaluation and benchmark studies<br>Energy/Power&#8211;aware compiler and runtime optimizations for current and emerging systems<br>
