RACORE2011 Resource Adaptive Compilation and Runtime Environments http://csa.science.uva.nl/racore2011 A mini-symposium held in conjunction with ParCo2011 Ghent University, Belgium 30 August - September 2011 RACORE2011 is a mini-symposium organized in conjunction with the Parallel Computing conference ParCo2011, to be held in Ghent, Belgium on 30 August - 2 September 2011. Scope ----- The computing landscape is diversifying. On most computing platforms, the number and properties of available computing resources differ, both over space and over time. Space heterogeneity arises in commodity hardware from diverse core counts and combinations of CPUs with companion processors like GPGPUs, streaming units as in IBM's Cell processor or specialised hardware. Time heterogeneity arises from frequency scaling, hardware faults, and dynamic addition or removal of hardware components. Deploying software to such diverse targets inevitably needs to factor in resource adaptability, especially at run-time. The RACORE symposium addresses dynamic adaptation of programs and operating systems to changes in resource availability at run time, either when applications are started or during their execution. We foresee adaptation ranging from, but not limited to, changes to the mapping of computation to resources, adjusting the level of exhibited concurrency, reacting to energy constraints, possibly down to hardware reconfiguration. We solicit papers on all aspects of dynamic adaptation to resource constraints. Topics include but are not limited to: - adaptive mapping of applications to resources (e.g. the set of applications or the set of resources evolves over time) - dynamically adapting code / just-in-time compilation - adaptation of program concurrency at run-time - dynamic trade-offs for resource consumption (e.g. cores vs. memory) - adaptation to comply with energy budgets - dynamically evolving computation resources - dynamically evolving input/output requirements or channel properties Papers ------ Authors are invited to submit a full paper (up to 8 pages) or an extended abstract (at least 2 pages) using the EasyChair submission system. Details regarding the format and other author guidelines are given on the submission page. Deadline for the submission is 15 June 2011.
