======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS FHPC 2012 ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on Functional High Performance Computing Copenhagen, Denmark September 15th, 2012 http://www.hiperfit.dk/fhpc12/ Co-located with the International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2012) ======================================================================== The FHPC workshop aims at bringing together researchers exploring uses of functional (or more generally, declarative, high-level) programming technology in application domains where large-scale computations arise naturally and high performance is essential. Such computations would typically -- but not necessarily -- involve execution on highly parallel systems ranging from multi-core multi-processor systems to graphics accelerators (GPGPUs), reconfigurable hardware (FPGAs), large-scale compute clusters or any combination thereof. 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. 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 highly transparent, maintainable, and portable code that approaches (or even exceeds) the performance of machine-oriented imperative implementations. The 2012 FHPC workshop comes with a particular theme motivated by geographic co-location with the newly established HIPERFIT Research Centre for Functional High-Performance Computing for Financial Information Technology (www.hiperfit.dk) at the University of Copenhagen. Hence, we particularly encourage submissions with a background in computational finance. Notwithstanding, the workshop welcomes submissions from other application domains as much as general-purpose work on the theory and practice of declarative approaches to high-performance computing. Proceedings: ============ Accepted papers will be published by the ACM and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. * Submission Deadline: 10th June 2012, anywhere on earth * Author Notification: 27th June 2012 * Final Papers Due : 10th July 2012 Submitted papers must be in portable document format (PDF), formatted according to the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines (double column, 9pt format). See http://www.sigplan.org/authorInformation.htm for more information and style files. The page limit is 12 pages. Submission deadlines and page limit are firm. Any paper submitted must adhere to ACM SIGPLAN's republication policy (http://www.sigplan.org/republicationpolicy.htm). 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).
