====================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS FHPC 2016 The 5th ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Functional High-Performance Computing Nara, Japan September 22, 2016 https://sites.google.com/site/fhpcworkshops/ Co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2016) Submission Deadline: Friday, 10 June, 2016 (anywhere on earth) ====================================================================== The FHPC workshop aims at bringing together researchers exploring uses of functional (or more generally, declarative or high-level) programming technology in application domains where high performance is essential. The aim of the meeting is to enable sharing of results, experiences, and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative specifications of computationally challenging problems can serve as maintainable and portable code that approaches (or even exceeds) the performance of machine-oriented imperative implementations. All aspects of performance critical programming and parallel programming are in-scope for the workshop, irrespective of hardware target. This includes both traditional large-scale scientific computing (HPC), as well as work targeting single node systems with SMPs, GPUs, FPGAs, or embedded processors. It is becoming apparent that radically new and well founded methodologies for programming such systems are required to address their inherent complexity and to reconcile execution performance with programming productivity. Experience reports are also welcome. Proceedings: ============ FHPC 2016 seeks to encourage a range of submissions, focussing on work in progress and facilitating early exchange of ideas and open discussion on innovative and/or emerging results. To this end submissions should take the form of short (maximum 6 page) papers. Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. * Submissions due: Friday, 10 June, 2016 (anywhere on earth) * Author notification: Friday, 8 July, 2016 * Final copy due: Sunday, 31 July, 2016 Submitted papers must be in portable document format (PDF), formatted according to the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (2 column, 9pt format). See http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm for more information and style files. Papers should be no longer than 6 pages. Contributions to FHPC 2016 should be submitted via Easychair, at the following URL: * https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fhpc16 The FHPC workshops adhere to the ACM SIGPLAN policies regarding programme committee contributions and republication. Any paper submitted must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy. PC member submissions are welcome, but will be reviewed to a higher standard. http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Review http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republication Travel Support: =============== Student attendees with accepted papers can apply for a SIGPLAN PAC grant to help cover travel expenses. PAC also offers other support, such as for child-care expenses during the meeting or for travel costs for companions of SIGPLAN members with physical disabilities, as well as for travel from locations outside of North America and Europe. For details on the PAC programme, see its web page (http://www.sigplan.org/PAC.htm).
