Description
This topic provides a forum for the presentation of the latest research=
results and practical experience in the development of parallel=20
programs. Advances in algorithmic and programming models, design=20
methods, languages, and interfaces are needed to produce correct,=20
portable parallel software with predictable performance on different
parallel and distributed architectures.
The topic emphasises results that improve the process of developing=20
high-performance programs, including high-integrity programs that are=20=
scalable with both problem size and complexity. Of particular interest
are novel techniques by which parallel software can be assembled from=20=
reusable parallel components without compromising efficiency. Related=20=
to this is the need for parallel software to adapt, both to available=20=
resources and to the problem being solved.=20
Where appropriate, contributions should demonstrate quantitative=20
performance results in support of their claims, and address=20
applications not adequately handled by well-established approaches.
Focus
* Languages, libraries and interfaces for different parallel=20
programming models (e.g. data-parallelism, task-parallelism,=20
functional, object-oriented, logic, component-based etc.).
* Implementation and optimisation techniques for innovative=20
parallel languages and programming models (e.g. threads,=20
dataflow, tiling, skeletons, declarative languages, and=20
generalised data-parallel approaches, etc.).
* Performance models and their integration into the design of=20
efficient parallel algorithms and programs (e.g. BSP, LogP, CGM,
N-half and their alternatives, cost calculi and static=20
performance prediction, profile-driven approaches).
* Parallel programming paradigms and tools, their comparison and=20=
integration (e.g. data-parallel vs. task-parallel, coordination=20=
programming, performance analysis and debugging).
* Methodological aspects of developing, optimizing and validating=20=
parallel programs (formalisms, semantics, specification, design,
transformations, verification, etc.).
* Software engineering for parallel and distributed systems=20
(design patterns, portability, robustness, standardization,=20
etc.).
* Systematic approaches and programming models to support=20
effective program development in grid environments. =20
* Domain-specific parallel libraries and languages (e.g. for=20
simulation, irregular and unstructured meshes, computational=20
geometry, etc.).
