About COSMIC
Many-core architectures, such as mobile SOCs, GPGPUs, and deep learning accelerators, are quickly
becoming the norm in computing devices and consumer electronics. In the era of dark silicon, this is
essential for sustaining performance growth in an energy efficient way. Still, there is no consensus
on how software can make best use of it. Developing parallel applications often starts with an existing
sequential implementation. A key problem is how to discover the parallelism potentially available and
then convert it into a form that can be exploited. Once we have a parallel implementation, its performance
and energy efficiency largely depend on how it is mapped to the available hardware. Given that hardware
is increasingly diverse and heterogeneous and that, due to dark silicon, energy efficiency affects the
availability of hardware, how can this re-mapping be best achieved. Solutions to these two problems
form the core topic of the workshop.
With novel research papers and expert invited speakers from both
industry and academia, this workshop aims at examining different solutions to these problems and includes
(but is not limited to):
- programming languages and models
- compilers and tools
- runtime systems
- operating systems
- binary translation
- combinations of the above
for homogeneous, heterogeneous multi-core and many-core based systems.
COSMIC will be held on Sunday, February 5, 2017.
Papers accepted by COSMIC will be published in the ACM Digital Library within the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series (ACM ICPS).
