OpenMP in a New Era of Parallelism: The 2008 International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP 2008) will be held on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana May 12 to 14, 2008 at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA. IWOMP (www.iwomp.org/) is the premier opportunity to learn more about parallel programming with OpenMP and to interact with OpenMP users and developers. The workshop also serves as a forum to present the latest research ideas and results related to OpenMP. IWOMP 2008 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, including the 3.0 specification that is currently in draft release. The second and third days 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 28, 2007 The submission web site is open. We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers detailing innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP.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 2008 solicits submissions that highlight OpenMP work on these fronts. IWOMP 2008 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in Springer Verlag's LNCS series. Submitted papers for review should be limited to 10 pages. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare a final paper of up to 12 pages. Relevant deadlines are provided under "Important Dates" in this CFP. Authors of the best accepted papers will be given the opportunity to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue of International Journal of Parallel Programming after the workshop.
