Rapid advancements in multicore and chip-level multi-threading technologies open new challenges and make multicore systems a part of the computing landscape. From high-end servers to mobile phones, multicores and manycores are steadily entering every single aspect of the information technology.
However most programmers are trained in sequential programming, yet most existing parallel programming models are prone to errors such as data race and deadlock. Therefore to fully utilise multicore and manycore hardware, parallel programming models that allow easy transition of sequential programs to parallel programs with good performance and enable development of error-free codes are urgently needed.
This workshop is dedicated primarily to gather researchers and practitioners addressing the main challenges and share experiences in the emerging multicore and manycore software engineering and distributed programming paradigm. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for people interested in programming environments, models, tools and applications specifically designed for parallel multicore and manycore hardware environments.

Keynote (8:15am - 9:15am): Data Locality for Massive Parallelism
Xipeng Shen, College of William and Mary
Abstract
Recent years have seen a rise of massive parallelism in modern
processors, typified by Graphic Processing Units (GPU), Many
Integrated Cores (MIC), Accelerated Processing Units (APU), and so
on. As parallelism continues increasing fast, memory bandwidth
expansion lags behind, causing an ever growing gap between memory
bandwidth and the cumulated computing power in a machine.
Consequently, effectively bringing data to cores is one of the most
critical challenges for tapping into the potential of future
systems. It is also a key to power efficiency as data movements are
expected to consume more than half of power in future computing
systems. This talk discusses the important role of data locality
enhancement in meeting the challenges. It examines the implications
massive parallelism brings to data locality, and some recent progress
in the measurement, modeling, and exploitation of data locality. It
concludes with a list of open questions and research directions.
Biography
Xipeng Shen is the Adina Allen Term Distinguished Associate Professor
in the College of William and Mary, an IBM Center for Advanced Studies
(CAS) Faculty Fellow, a Visiting Researcher at Microsoft Research and
MIT. His research in data locality and massive parallelism won the
prestigious Early Career Research Award from the US Department of
Energy in 2011 and the Best Paper Award at ACM PPoPP 2010. His
research in input-centric program dynamic optimizations won the CAREER
Award from the US National Science Foundation in 2010.
Xipeng Shen's research lies in the broad field of programming systems,
with an emphasis on enabling extreme-scale data-intensive computing
and intelligent portable computing through innovations in both
compilers and runtime systems. He has been particularly interested in
capturing large-scale program behavior patterns, in both data accesses
and code executions, and exploiting them for scalable and efficient
computing in a heterogeneous, massively parallel environment.
