CONFERENCE (co-located with HPCA-16)


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, multicore, accelerated, multiprocessor, 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.

Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Parallel programming theory and models
* Formal analysis and verification
* Parallel programming languages
* Compilers and runtime systems
* Task-parallel libraries
* Parallel application frameworks
* Middleware for parallel systems
* Automatic parallelization
* Performance analysis, debugging and optimization
* Development, analysis, or management tools
* Parallel algorithms
* Parallel applications
* Concurrent data structures
* Synchronization and concurrency control
* Transactional memory
* Software engineering for parallel programs
* Fault tolerance for parallel systems
* Software techniques for accelerators (including GPGPUs)

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. Papers describing experiences should indicate how they
illustrate general principles; papers about parallel programming
foundations should indicate how they relate to practice. Poster
submissions should meet similar criteria for originality and
relevance, but may present emerging ideas or results that are not yet
sufficiently developed for a full paper.
