First International Workshop on
GCC Research Opportunities
(GROW09)
Held in conjunction with:
the 4th International Conference on High-Performance Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC)
Paphos, CYPRUS, January 25-28, 2009
GROW focuses on current challenges in research and development of compiler analyses and optimizations based on the free GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The goal of this workshop is to bring together people from industry and academia that are interested in conducting research based on GCC and enhancing the compiler suite to better support embedded and parallel/multicore systems. The workshop will promote and disseminate compiler research (recent, ongoing or planned) with GCC, as a robust industrial-strength vehicle that supports free and collaborative research.
The topics of the workshop include any issue related to innovative compiler analysis and/or optimizations with GCC targeting embedded and parallel/multicore systems, including but not limited to:
- Classical compiler analyses, transformations and optimizations
- Power-aware analyses and optimizations
- Language/Compiler/HW cooperation
- Optimizing compilation tools for parallel/multicore systems
- Profiling, dynamic analysis, and feedback-directed optimization
- Case studies and performance evaluations
- Techniques and tools to improve application and compiler quality

Notification to authors: Dec 14, 2008 (early registration closes on Dec 16)
Workshop date: January 25, 2009
Submission
Submitted papers should be original and not published or submitted for publication elsewhere; papers similar to published or submitted work must include an explicit explanation. Papers should use the LNCS format and should be 12 pages maximum. Manuscript preparation guidelines can be found at the LNCS specification web site (go to -> For Authors -> Information for LNCS Authors). Please submit via the easychair system.
Papers will be refereed by the Program Committee and if accepted, and if the authors wish, will be made available on the workshop web site. Authors of the best papers from the workshop may be invited to revise their submission for the journal Transactions on HiPEAC, if the work is in sufficiently mature form.
