IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO)
in conjunction with PPoPP and HPCA
San Diego, CA, USA
February 22-26, 2020

IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract Submission: August 30, 2019
Paper Submission: September 6, 2019
Author Rebuttal Period: October 9 – 10, 2018
Paper Notification: October 22, 2019

The International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO) provides a premier venue to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the interface of hardware and software on a wide range of optimization and code generation techniques and related issues. The conference spans the spectrum from purely static to fully dynamic approaches, and from pure software-based methods to specific architectural features and support for code generation and optimization.

Original contributions are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics:
– Code Generation, Translation, Transformation, and Optimization for performance, energy, virtualization, portability, security, or reliability concerns, and architectural support
– Efficient execution of dynamically typed and higher-level languages Optimization and code generation for emerging programming models, platforms, domain-specific languages Dynamic/static, profile-guided, feedback-directed, and machine learning based optimization
– Static, Dynamic, and Hybrid Analysis for performance, energy, memory locality, throughput or latency, security, reliability, or functional debugging
– Program characterization methods
– Efficient profiling and instrumentation techniques; architectural support
– Novel and efficient tools
– Compiler design, practice and experience
– Compiler abstraction and intermediate representations
– Vertical integration of language features, representations, optimizations, and runtime support for parallelism
– Solutions that involve cross-layer (HW/OS/VM/SW) design and integration
– Deployed dynamic/static compiler and runtime systems for general purpose, embedded system and Cloud/HPC platforms
– Parallelism, heterogeneity, and reconfigurable architectures
– Optimizations for heterogeneous or specialized targets, GPUs, SoCs, CGRA
– Compiler support for vectorization, thread extraction, task scheduling, speculation, transaction, memory management, data distribution and synchronization

The Artifact Evaluation process is run by a separate committee whose task is to assess how the artifacts support the work described in the papers. Authors of accepted papers have the option of submitting their artifacts for evaluation within two weeks of paper acceptance. To ease the organization of the AE committee, we kindly ask authors to indicate at the time they submit the paper, whether they are interested in submitting an artifact. Papers that go through the Artifact Evaluation process successfully will receive a seal of approval printed on the papers themselves. Additional information is available on the CGO AE web page. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged, but not required, to make these materials publicly available upon publication of the proceedings, by including them as “source materials” in the ACM Digital Library.

This year, CGO has a special category of papers called “tools and practical experience”. Such a paper is subject to the same page length guidelines, except that it must give a clear account of its functionality and a summary about the practice experience with realistic case studies, and describe all the supporting artifacts available. The selection criteria are:

– Originality: Papers should present CGO-related technologies applied to real-world problems with scope or characteristics that set them apart from previous solutions.
– Usability: The presented Tools or compilers should have broad usage or applicability. They are expected to assist in CGO-related research, or could be extended to investigate or demonstrate new technologies. If significant components are not yet implemented, the paper will not be considered.
– Documentation: The tool or compiler should be presented on a web-site giving documentation and further information about the tool.
– Benchmark Repository: A suite of benchmarks for testing should be provided.
– Availability: Preferences will be given to tools or compilers that are freely available (at either the source or binary level). Exceptions may be made for industry and commercial tools that cannot be made publicly available for business reasons.
– Foundations: Papers should incorporate the principles underpinning Code Generation and Optimization (CGO). However, a thorough discussion of theoretical foundations is not required; a summary of such should suffice.

Authors should carefully consider the difference in focus with the co-located conferences when deciding where to submit a paper. CGO will make the proceedings freely available via the ACM DL platform during the period from two weeks before to two weeks after the conference. This option will facilitate easy access to the proceedings by conference attendees, and it will also enable the community at large to experience the excitement of learning about the latest developments being presented in the period surrounding the event itself.

25th ACM SIGPLAN Annual Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming (PPoPP 2020)
in conjunction with HPCA and CGO 2020
San Diego, California, USA
February 22-26, 2020

IMPORTANT DATES:
Paper registration and abstract submission: July 31, 2019
Full paper submission: August 6, 2019
Author response period: October 28–31, 2019
Author Notification: November 19, 2019
Artifact submission to AE committee: November 25, 2019
Artifact notification by AE committee: December 20, 2019
Final paper due: January 2, 2020

All deadlines are at midnight anywhere on earth (AoE), and are firm.

PPoPP is the premier forum for leading work on all aspects of parallel programming, including theoretical foundations, techniques, languages, compilers, runtime systems, tools, and practical experience. In the context of the symposium, “parallel programming” encompasses work on concurrent and parallel systems (multicore, multi-threaded, heterogeneous, clustered, and distributed systems; grids; data centers; clouds; and large scale machines). Given the rise of parallel architectures in the consumer market (desktops, laptops, and mobile devices) and data centers, PPoPP is particularly interested in work that addresses new parallel workloads and issues that arise out of extreme-scale applications or cloud platforms, as well as techniques and tools that improve the productivity of parallel programming or work towards improved synergy with such emerging architectures.

Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
– Compilers and runtime systems for parallel and heterogeneous systems
– Concurrent data structures
– Development, analysis, or management tools
– Fault tolerance for parallel systems
– Formal analysis and verification
– High-performance / scientific computing
– Libraries
– Middleware for parallel systems
– Parallel algorithms
– Parallel applications and frameworks
– Parallel programming for deep memory hierarchies including nonvolatile memory
– Parallel programming languages
– Parallel programming theory and models
– Parallelism in non-scientific workloads: web, search, analytics, cloud, machine learning
– Performance analysis, debugging and optimization
– Programming tools for parallel and heterogeneous systems
– Software engineering for parallel programs
– Software for heterogeneous architectures
– Software productivity for parallel programming
– Synchronization and concurrency control
