    Sponsored by IEEE TC-MARCH and ACM SIGMICRO


This workshop provides a forum for the burgeoning fields of
feedback-directed and dynamic optimization. The goal of the workshop
is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners to
encourage collaboration and the exchange of ideas on recent progress
and future directions. Contributions are sought on a diversity of
hardware and software topics including, but not limited to:


* Systems for dynamic compilation, binary translation, and continuous
profiling
* New and innovative analyses, transformations, and intermediate
    representations for dynamic and feedback-directed optimization
* Architectural and system support for dynamic and feedback-directed
optimization
* Language extensions for dynamic and adaptive compilation
* Novel approaches to dynamic partial evaluation and program specialization
* Hardware and software mechanisms for low-cost performance monitoring
* Methods for supporting garbage collection, multithreading, and exceptions
in
    dynamic and feedback-directed systems
* Techniques for increasing the flow of information between hardware and
software
* Performance evaluation of dynamic or feedback-directed optimization
systems
* Experience with real feedback-directed systems and large, complex
applications


Deadlines:
Paper submission: October 12, 2001
Notification of acceptance: November 5, 2001
Final version of papers due: November 23, 2001


Submission: Talks will be accepted on the basis of a short paper that
will be published within the workshop proceedings. Complete
information on how to submit papers will be provided at the workshop
web site (http://www.microarch.org/fddo4). Other questions should be
directed to the workshop chairs.
