Workshop Theme

Throughput-oriented applications are attracting broader interest because of the proliferation of multi- and many-core CPUs and GPUs. The reasons are many-fold. Increasing software-exposed parallelism is necessitated by power-constrained design. Moreover, the emphasis on visual quality in entertainment-oriented applications is driving demand on client platforms. Finally, the pre-existing demands for compute cycles in high-performance computing is challenged by the changing programming and optimization landscape found in highly integrated multi-core devices.

This workshop seeks an interdisciplinary set of commercial and academic researchers and practitioners working at the frontiers of throughput oriented programming models, applications, and architectures.
