The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts of different areas to bridge the gap between programming models and algorithms in general. The ultimate goal is to foster the interdisciplinary relationships among domain scientists, and compiler, language and runtime (CLR) experts in order to re-design and rethink the next generation of algorithms that will be used during the forthcoming decades. Therefore, the intended audience and participants of the proposed workshop involves experts, practitioners, students, professors and researchers of the mentioned fields, of the broader computer science, applied mathematics and computational science fields. In the shorter term, the objective of this workshop is to enable and retarget core algorithmic building blocks that leverage cutting-edge data-flow, task and data-parallel runtimes, and gradually promote the absorption of undeniable performance, energy and other execution properties that an algorithm should embody in order to fully exploit future hardware and software computing infrastructure.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
We welcome ongoing and preliminary work, experience reports showing a negative result or a gap between the two communities. In general, PMAW topics lie between fields of domain scientists and CLR experts. For instance, domain experts who are attempting to map their application to some specific platform or runtime, as well as CLR experts wishing to identify and learn about strong and impactful applications and benchmarks suitable for some new software technology.
Papers must use the ACM standard LATEX or Word templates.
As this workshop encourages works-in-progress, papers should be 5-7 pages in length, including references and appendices
