Keynote: Towards Resource Management in Parallel Architectures “Under the Hood”

Per Stenström (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden)

A major challenge, moving forwards, is how to off-load software developers from managing resources in future parallel architectures to deliver a high computational efficiency both concerning performance, power consumption and predictability. In this talk, I will present a general framework that aims at managing parallelism, power and predictability “under the hood”. A critical enabling aspect of the approach is to convey semantic, domain-specific information from the programming-model level to the run-time and architecture levels to manage/adapt resource usage at run-time.

Panel on reproducible research methodologies and new publication models

Rising complexity of computer systems, increasing number of ad-hoc tools and techniques, and lack of common and unified mechanisms for knowledge exchange makes it extremely challenging or even impossible to capture, share and reproduce experimental results from our community. This panel brings together industrial and academic researchers to share their thoughts and experience on reproducible experimentation including how to:

• capture, catalog, systematize, modify, replay and exchange experiments (possibly whole setups with all artifacts including benchmarks, codelets, datasets, tools, models, etc)
• validate and verify experimental results
• deal with rising amount of experimental data using statistical analysis, data mining, predictive modeling, etc.

Final program

All papers are now available in ACM Digital Library.

We accepted 9 papers out of 19.
Each paper had at least 3 reviews.

• T1: Full papers should be at most 6 pages long (excluding bibliography). Papers in this category are expected to have relatively mature content.
• T2: Extended abstract should be between 1-2 pages long (excluding bibliography). Preliminary and exploratory work are welcome in this category, including wild & crazy ideas.
• T3: Extended summary of already published work (must be your own) presenting ideas relevant to the ADAPT workshop. These papers should be between 1-2 pages long (excluding bibliography) summarising the contribution of the original work (including link to it). There will be no proceedings for this type of submissions.
• Reproducible: experimental results are validated by ADAPT volunteers. We would like to thank our external volunteers (Alberto Magni from the University of Edinburgh, UK and Sascha Hunold from Vienna University of Technology, Austria) for helping us to partially validate results of these papers while again emphasizing difficulties to reproduce complex experimental setups in our field due to specific requirements placed on operating systems, libraries, benchmarks, data sets, compilers, architecture simulators, and other tools.
