AIMS AND SCOPE

The pervasiveness of homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-core and 
many-core processors, in a large spectrum of systems from embedded 
and general-purpose to high-end computing systems, poses major 
challenges to the software industry. In general, there is no guarantee 
that software developed for a particular architecture will run on 
another architecture. Furthermore, ensuring that the software preserves 
some aspects of performance behavior (such as temporal or energy efficiency) 
across different such architectures is an open research issue.

Therefore, a focus of this workshop is on language level, system software 
and architectural solutions for performance portability across different 
architectures and for automated performance tuning.

The topics of the MuCoCoS workshop include but are not limited to:
- Programming models, languages, libraries and compilation techniques
- Run-time systems and hardware support 
- Automatic performance tuning and optimization techniques
- Patterns, algorithms and data structures for multi-/many-core systems
- Performance measurement, modeling, analysis and tuning
- Case studies highlighting performance portability and tuning.


As the seventh workshop in the series MuCoCoS 2008 (Barcelona, Spain), 
MuCoCoS 2009 (Fukuoka, Japan), MuCoCoS 2010 (Krakow, Poland), 
MuCoCoS 2011 (Seoul, Korea), MuCoCoS 2012 (Salt Lake City, USA),
and MuCoCoS 2013 (Edinburgh, UK), MuCoCoS 2014 will be held in Porto, Portugal, 
in conjunction with Euro-Par 2014.
