<br> The International Conference on Computational Science is an annual
<br> conference that brings together researchers and scientists from mathematics
<br> and computer science as basic computing disciplines, researchers from various
<br> application areas who are pioneering computational methods in sciences such
<br> as physics, chemistry, life sciences, and engineering, as well as in arts and
<br> humanitarian fields, to discuss problems and solutions in the area, to identify new
<br> issues, and to shape future directions for research.

<br>Call for papers
<br>***************
<br>
<br> Massively parallel processors have entered high performance computing
<br> architectures, as well as embedded systems. In June 2014, the TOP500
<br> number one system (Tianhe-2) features the 57-core Intel Xeon Phi
<br> processor. The increase of the number of cores on a chip is expected
<br> to rise in the next years, as shown by the ITRS trends: other examples
<br> include the Kalray MPPA 256-core chip, the 63-core Tilera GX processor
<br> and even the crowd-funded 64-core Parallella Epiphany chip. In this
<br> context, developers of parallel applications, including heavy
<br> simulations and scientific calculations will undoubtedly have to cope
<br> with many-core processors at the early design steps.
<br>
<br> In the two past sessions of the Alchemy workshop, held together with
<br> the ICCS meeting, we have presented significant contributions on the
<br> design of many-core processors, both in the hardware and the software
<br> programming environment sides, as well as some industrial-grade
<br> application case studies. In this 2015 session, we seek academic
<br> and industrial works that contribute to the design and the
<br> programmability of many-core processors.
<br>
<br> Topics include, but are not limited to:
<br> * Programming models and languages for many-cores
<br> * Compilers for programming languages
<br> * Runtime generation for parallel programming on manycores
<br> * Architecture support for massive parallelism management
<br> * Enhanced communications for CMP/manycores
<br> * Shared memory, data consistency models and protocols
<br> * New operating systems, or dedicated OS
<br> * User feedback on existing manycore architectures
<br> (experiments with Adapteva Epiphany, Intel Phi, Kalray MPPA, ST
<br> STHorm, Tilera Gx, TSAR..etc)

<br>
<br>Submission
<br>**************
<br>
<br> This year, there will be two formats for the presentation at the
<br> workshop. The usual full-length paper is 10 pages according to the ICCS
<br> format, and the short-paper format well fitted for works in progress,
<br> with a maximum of 2 pages. The accepted papers for full-length paper
<br> will be published alongside with the ICCS proceedings in Procedia
<br> Computer Science, whereas the short-papers will be presentation and
<br> poster only at the conference (with proceedings and presentations
<br> available from the workshop website).
