CGO 2009

CGO-2009 Call For Papers

March 22-25, 2009 at Seattle, Washington

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society TC-uARCH and ACM SIGMICRO in cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN

The International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO) provides a premier venue to bring together researchers and practitioners working on feedback-directed optimization and back-end compilation techniques. The conference covers optimization for parallelism, performance, power, and security, where that optimization occurs in the mapping from an input (including APIs, high-level languages, byte codes such as .NET or Java, or ISAs) to a similar or lower-level target machine representation.

Papers are solicited in areas that support such mapping and optimization:

* Compilers, back-end code generators, translators, binary optimization tools and runtime environments; static, dynamic, adaptive, or continuous techniques * Innovative analysis, transformation, and optimization techniques * Memory management, including data distribution, synchronization and GC   * Thread extraction and thread-level speculation, especially for multi-core systems * Vertical integration of language features, representations, optimizations, and runtime support for parallelism (including support for transactional semantics, efficient message passing, and dynamic thread creation) * Phase detection and analysis techniques * Mechanisms and optimization techniques supporting the efficient implementation of security protection models, reliability and energy efficiency * Traditional compiler optimizations * Intermediate representations that enable more powerful or efficient optimization * Hardware mechanisms and systems that implement or assist in any of the above * Experiences with real dynamic optimization and compilation systems, particularly with large, complex applications * Explorations of trade-offs concerning when (static/dynamic) and where (software/hardware) to optimize * Particularly novel ideas of interest to this community

IMPORTANT DATES: Abstract deadline is September 12, 2008. Paper deadline is September 19, 2008. There will be NO EXTENSIONS. Contact Manish Vachharajani (manishv at colorado.edu) to submit a Workshop or Tutorial proposal by November 18, 2008. This CfP was obtained from WikiCFP
