International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP 2009): Evolving OpenMP in an Age of Extreme Parallelism, June 3rd - June 5th, 2009, Dresden, Germany www.iwomp.org -- The 2009 International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP 2009) will be held on the campus of Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. IWOMP is the premier event focusing on parallel programming with OpenMP. The workshop serves as a forum to present the latest research ideas and results related to this shared memory programming model. It also offers the opportunity to interact with OpenMP users, developers and the people working on the next release of the standard. IWOMP 2009 will be a three-day event. The first day will consist of tutorials focusing on topics of interest to current and prospective OpenMP developers, suitable for both beginners as well as those interested in learning of recent developments in the evolving OpenMP standard. The second and third day will consist of technical papers and panel session(s) during which research ideas and results will be presented and discussed. Technical Paper Submission and Publication Submission deadline: December 14, 2008 We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers detailing innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP. All topics related to OpenMP are of interest, including OpenMP applications in any domain (e.g., scientific computation, video games, computer graphics, multimedia, information retrieval, optimization, text processing, data mining, finance, signal and image processing and numerical solvers), OpenMP performance analysis and modeling, OpenMP performance and correctness tools and proposed OpenMP extensions. Advances in technologies, such as multi-core processors and accelerators (e.g., GPGPU, FPGA), the use of OpenMP in very large-scale parallel systems, and recent developments in OpenMP itself (e.g., tasking) present new opportunities and challenges for software and hardware developers. IWOMP 2009 solicits submissions that highlight OpenMP work on these fronts. As in previous years, IWOMP 2009 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in Springer Verlag's LNCS series. Submitted papers for review should be limited to 12 pages. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare a final paper of up to 15 pages. Relevant deadlines are provided under "Important Dates" in this CFP. Authors of a subset of accepted papers will be contacted to consider a submission of an extended paper to a special issue of International Journal of Parallel Programming after the workshop. Important Dates Notification of acceptance: February 6, 2009 Camera-ready version of paper due: March 6, 2009 Tutorial and Workshop in Dresden: June 3-5, 2009
