CALL FOR PAPERS
===============
Ninth Workshop on Explicitly Parallel Instruction
Computing Architectures and Compiler Technology (EPIC-9)
April 2 or 3 (TBD), 2011
Chamonix, France
In conjunction with the IEEE/ACM International Symposium
on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO)
Researchers from both academia and industry are invited to share their
latest research findings in the area of EPIC architectures and
compiler technology. The EPIC style of architecture was developed to
enable new levels of instruction-level parallelism not achieved with
traditional architectures. By allowing the compiler to express program
parallelism and other relevant information directly to the processor,
EPIC architectures can overcome hardware complexity issues that limit
performance in traditional microprocessors.
The major challenge in realizing the full potential of EPIC
architectures is developing compiler and runtime optimization
technologies that effectively deploy explicitly defined hardware
mechanisms, and deliver performance for both commercial and scientific
applications. This workshop will focus on promising research concepts
that enable the EPIC architecture model.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Compiler Optimizations:
- Instruction scheduling, software pipelining, predication, control
and data speculation, register allocation
- Thread-level parallelization
- Versioning approaches to dynamically adapt to runtime behavior
- Techniques to mitigate in-order memory stalls, like prefetching,
helper threads, and load clustering
- Compiler-directed memory-hierarchy and cache-coherency management
- Methods of program analysis and verification that are related to EPIC
- Higher-level optimizations that are related to EPIC
- Validation of compiler optimizations
Binary Translation:
- Methods of binary translation applicable to EPIC architectures
- Hardware support of binary translation
Feedback-Directed Optimizations:
- Especially performance monitoring unit (PMU) driven optimizations
- Dynamic optimizations
Microarchitecture:
- Novel architectures and microarchitectures
- In-order versus out-of-order designs, hybrid approaches
- Multi-threaded and multi-core EPIC architectures
- Power and energy aware computing techniques for EPIC machines
Advanced Uses of EPIC Architectures:
- Virtualization and Secure Computing
- Special purpose applications
Performance Analysis of EPIC Architectures:
- Commercial and scientific workload studies for EPIC models
- Effects of architectural features on workload behavior
- Experimental evaluation of Itanium microprocessors
- Performance comparisons with other architectures
- Tools for analysis, instrumentation, and architecture experiments
