A Practical Programming Model for the Multi-Core Era - Tsinghua University, Beijing, China - * Its Web site * IWOMP 2007 will take place in Beijing, China. The workshop is the premier opportunity to learn more about OpenMP, to obtain practical experience and to interact with OpenMP users and developers. The workshop will also serve as a forum to present research ideas and results related to OpenMP. In keeping with the objectives and format of the previous workshops, IWOMP 2007 will feature three distinct parts. The first part will provide attendees the opportunity to learn OpenMP through a tutorial that is particularly suitable for those with limited experience in OpenMP. The second part will consist of presentations of technical papers and panels in which research ideas and results will be presented and discussed. The third part, the OpenMP Laboratory, will provide attendees with the opportunity to obtain hands-on experience with OpenMP on either their own code or on prepared exercises using a variety of systems, compilers and tools, with assistance from experts from several different computer vendors and from the OpenMP community. Technical Paper Submission and Publication ------------------------------------------ We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers detailing innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP.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. Due to the progress in multi-core chip technology new opportunities and challenges have emerged and IWOMP2007 solicits submissions that highlight OpenMP work on this front. IWOMP 2007 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in LNCS. Submitted papers for review should be limited to 10 pages. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to (1) prepare a distributable version that will be made available at the workshop for attendee references; (2) prepare a final paper of up to 12 pages. Deadlines for both are announced 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. Short Paper and Posters ----------------------- This year, we will hold a short paper session where each speaker can have a 5 minute summary of their work. A poster session will be arranged so these authors can display their work and engage interesting audience for longer discussions. An abstract of the short paper will be included in the proceedings. Call for OpenMP Laboratory Proposals ----------------------------------- Application programmers are encouraged to provide a short description of the program, especially the type of problem it solves, the method(s) used, its development status, external software requirements (e.g. libraries), programming language, and current platform(s), as well as an indication of what OpenMP aspects should be addressed in the laboratory (e.g. performance, functionality, or porting) These application descriptions will be distributed to tool presenters prior to the laboratory in order to help them address these specific concerns. OpenMP compiler and tool implementers are invited to submit a two-page proposal giving a brief summary of the key functionalities of their tool(s) and describing how they can assist in the development, porting, and/or tuning process. In addition, these proposals should discuss expected hardware/software support and any additional requirements. For the OMP Laboratory, instructions in the use of their tools (e.g. quick reference guide, user manual) are required in order to ensure a high-quality hands-on experience. To guide application participants' expectations, two-page proposals for tools accepted for presentation will be posted on the IWOMP web site.

OpenMP is a portable, scalable programming model that provides a simple and flexible interface for developing shared-memory parallel applications in Fortran, C, and C++. Since its introduction in 1997, OpenMP has gained support from the majority of high-performance compiler and hardware vendors. There is also active research in OpenMP compilers, runtime systems, tools, and environments. Under the direction of the OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB), the OpenMP standard continues to evolve. The community of OpenMP researchers and developers in academia and industry is organized under cOMPunity, a forum for the dissemination and exchange of information about and experiences with OpenMP.
