2022 Workshop on Accelerator Programming Using Directives (WACCPD)

Topics of interest for workshop submissions include (but are not limited to)

• Application developer’s experiences porting scientific applications to modern systems
• Critical assessment of the possibilities and limitations of minimal-maintenance approaches with respect to achieved portability and performance — Support the analysis with case studies
• Compiler and runtime support for current and emerging architectures (e.g. heterogeneous architectures, low-power processors)
• Evaluation of alternative abstractions for expressing parallelism or managing complex/heterogeneous memory hierarchies in base languages, frameworks or directives-based programming languages
• Extensions to and shortcomings of current directives for heterogeneous systems
• Auto-tuning and optimization strategies leveraging high-level programming abstractions
• Extending directive-based approaches to other environments such as Julia or Python
• Parallel computing using hybrid programming paradigms (e.g. MPI, OpenMP/OpenMP offloading, OpenACC, OpenSHMEM, OneAPI)
• Asynchronous execution and scheduling (task-based approaches)
• Power/energy studies and solutions targeting accelerators or heterogeneous systems
