                                            April 2, 2011, Chamonix, France


                                      (co-located with CGO 2011 Conference)


                      Keynote: Prof. Markus Puschel, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
                          "Automatic Performance Tuning and Machine Learning"


********************************************************************************


The rapid rate of architectural change and the large diversity of
architecture features has made it increasingly difficult for compiler
writers to keep pace with microprocessor evolution. This problem has
been compounded by the introduction of multicores. Thus, compiler
writers have an intractably complex problem to solve. A similar
situation arises in processor design where new approaches are needed
to help computer architects make the best use of new underlying
technologies and to design systems well adapted to future application
domains.


Recent studies have shown the great potential of statistical machine
learning and search strategies for compilation and machine design. The
purpose of this workshop is to help consolidate and advance the state
of the art in this emerging area of research. The workshop is a forum
for the presentation of recent developments in compiler techniques and
machine design methodologies based on space exploration and
statistical machine learning approaches with the objective of
improving performance, parallelism, scalability, and adaptability.


Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):


Machine Learning, Statistical Approaches, or Search applied to


* Empirical Automatic Performance Tuning
* Iterative Feedback-Directed Compilation
* Self-tuning Programs, Libraries and Language Extensions
* Dynamic Optimization/Split Compilation/Adaptive Execution
* Speculative and Adaptive Parallelization
* Low-power Optimizations
* Adaptive Virtualization
* Performance Modeling and Portability
* Adaptive Processor and System Architecture
* Architecture Simulation and Design Space Exploration
* Collective Optimization
* Self-tuning Computing Systems
* Other Topics relevant to Intelligent and Adaptive Compilers/
Architectures/OS


**** Important Dates ****


* Deadline for paper submission: February 7, 2011
* Decision notification: March 7, 2011
* Deadline for camera-ready papers: March 25, 2011
* Workshop: April 2, 2011 (morning, half-day)


**** Paper Submission Guidelines ****


Submitted papers should be original and not published or submitted for
publication elsewhere. Papers should use the LNCS format and should be
15 pages maximum. Manuscript preparation guidelines can be found at
the LNCS website (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs, go to "For
Authors" and then "Information for LNCS Authors"). Papers must be
submitted in the PDF using the workshop submission website:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smart2011


In addition to normal technical papers, please consider submitting
"position paper" (2 to 15 pages). For example, a position paper could
include your thoughts on compiler evolution, future infrastructure
technology needs, use of adaptive techniques for the Cloud, etc.


An informal collection of the papers to be presented will be
distributed at the workshop. All accepted papers will appear on the
workshop website.
