              Auto-Tuning for Multicore and GPU (ATMG)
                Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy
A 1-day Special Session during the IEEE MCSoC-15, September 23-25, 2015

Computer architectures and computer systems have become
increasingly complex. Multicore processors and heterogeneous computing
systems equipped with accelerators pose demanding challenges to
programmers when optimizing the performance of their
codes. Auto-tuning technologies are promising for tackling these
challenges. Several methodologies and auto-tuning approaches have been
proposed, especially for numerical computations. More recently, the
applicability of auto-tuning has been extended to other areas of
computer science and engineering, from embedded systems to extreme
scale computing systems.

  This special session on "Auto-Tuning for Multicore and GPU (ATMG)"
creates an opportunity for the discussion of the state-the-art in
auto-tuning research, not only for experts in the field but also a
broader audience of users of the technology.

TOPICS
  Papers are solicited in following areas of auto-tuning technologies
for multicore and GPU/MIC computing, but not limited to:
- Optimized Algorithms for Numerical Libraries
- Automatic Code Generation and Empirical Compilation
- Hybrid Programming for Threads and Processes
- Communication Optimization
- Mixed Precision and Accuracy Assurance for Numerical Computing
- Power Consumption Optimization
- Fault Tolerance

IMPORTANT DATES
- Paper submission due: April 7, 2015
- Author notification: May 31, 2015
- Camera ready manuscript: June 30, 2015
- MCSoC Conference: September 23-25, 2015

PUBLICATION
  All accepted papers in the special session will be published by IEEE
CS Press and included to the IEEE Digital Library.
