CALL FOR PAPERS

Sixth International Workshop on Parallel Software
Tools and Tool Infrastructures (PSTI 2016)
Philadelphia, PA, USA

Held in Conjunction with ICPP 2016,
The 45th International Conference on Parallel Processing

Philadelphia, PA, USA, August 16-19, 2016

===============================================================================

BACKGROUND

The advent of multicore and manycore systems requires that programmers
understand how to design, write and debug parallel programs
effectively. The increased complexity of multi-threaded parallel
programming on multicore platforms requires more insight into program
behavior, and necessitates the use of tools that can support
programmers in migrating existing software to multicore platforms, and
in writing new multi-threaded parallel software. Programmers need
increasingly sophisticated methods for instrumentation, measurement,
analysis and modeling of applications. Developers need both
sophisticated tools to support parallel software development, and an
extensible tool infrastructure that promotes integration of existing
and new tools, and simplifies information exchange and access.
