CALL FOR PAPERS

23rd International Workshop on
High-Level Parallel Programming Models and
Supportive Environments (HIPS)

Held in conjunction with the 32nd IEEE International Parallel
and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS 2018)

Vancouver, Canada, May 21, 2018

Background
----------

The 23nd HIPS workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting on Monday, May
21, 2018 at the IEEE IPDPS 2018 conference in Vancouver, focuses on
high-level programming of multiprocessors, compute clusters, and
massively parallel machines. Like previous workshops in the series,
which was established in 1996, this event serves as a forum for research
in the areas of parallel applications, language design, compilers,
runtime systems, and programming tools. It provides a timely and
lightweight forum for scientists and engineers to present the latest
ideas and findings in these rapidly changing fields. In our call for
papers, we especially encouraged innovative approaches in the areas of
emerging programming models for large-scale parallel systems and
many-core architectures.

Topics of Interest
------------------

Topics of interest to the HIPS workshop include but are not limited to:

- New programming languages and constructs for exploiting parallelism
and locality
- Experience with and improvements for existing parallel languages and
run-time environments such as MPI, OpenMP, Cilk, UPC, Co-array
Fortran, X10, Chapel, Charm++, and OpenCL
- Parallel compilers, programming tools, and environments
- OS and architectural support for parallel programming and debugging
- Software and system support for extreme scalability including fault
tolerance
- Programming environments for heterogeneous multicore systems and
accelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs, Cells, and MICs
- Domain specific languages exploring embedded and stand-alone
languages, libraries and runtime for focused application areas
