    IMPACT 2024

14th International Workshop on
Polyhedral Compilation Techniques

https://www.cri.ensmp.fr/conf/impact2024/

held in conjunction with HiPEAC 2024 in Munich, Germany.

============================================
IMPORTANT DATES:
Paper submission:    November 3, 2023 (AoE)
Author notification:  December 4, 2023
Final version due:     December 15, 2023 (AoE)
Workshop:                January 17, 2024
============================================


OVERVIEW:

Polyhedral compilation techniques receive more attention than ever
from both researchers and practitioners. Thanks to a unified formalism
for parallelization and memory optimization, polyhedral techniques
play a central role in a wide range of domain-specific languages and
optimizing compilers, with high impact in competitive areas such as
machine learning, scientific computing and media processing.

IMPACT is a unique event focusing on polyhedral compilation. The
workshop brings together researchers and practitioners for a
high-quality one-day event including a keynote, paper presentations,
and work-in-progress discussions. The workshop has a well
established tradition of high quality, extensive peer reviews, with a
PC balancing core polyhedral expertise with applications and broader
computing systems research.

We welcome both theoretical and experimental papers and presentations
on all aspects of polyhedral compilation. We also welcome submissions
describing
preliminary results, crazy new ideas, position papers, experience
reports, education material, and available tools, with an aim to
stimulate discussions, collaborations, and advances in the field. The
following illustrates potential IMPACT papers:

- Thorough theoretical discussion of a preliminary idea with an attempt to
  place it in context but no experimental results.

- Experimental results comparing two or more existing ideas, followed by a
  detailed analysis.

- Presentation of an existing idea in a different way, including
  illustrations of how the idea applies to new use cases, code,
  architectures, etc.  Attribution should be as clear as possible.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- program optimization (automatic parallelization, tiling, etc.);
- code generation;
- data/communication management on GPUs, accelerators and distributed
  systems;
- hardware/high-level synthesis for affine programs;
- static analysis;
- program verification;
- model checking;
- theoretical foundations of the polyhedral model;
- extensions of the polyhedral model;
- scalability and robustness of polyhedral compilation techniques.


PAPER SUBMISSION:

Paper submissions should not exceed 10 pages (recommended 8 pages),
excluding
references, formatted as per ACM SIGPLAN proceedings format. Please use
version 1.54 or above of the following templates to prepare your manuscript:

  https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

Make sure to use the "sigplan" subformat. Visit

  http://sigplan.org/Resources/Author/

for further information on SIGPLAN manuscript formatting.
NOTE: older versions of the article template use smaller fonts for
submission, please double-check that you are using the recent style file
(in particular, various LaTeX distributions ship older versions of the
acmart style file, please download the most recent one from ACM).

Submissions should use PDF format and be printable on US Letter or A4
paper. Please submit your manuscripts through EasyChair:

  https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=impact2024

Proceedings will be posted online. If the final version of an accepted
paper does not sufficiently address the comments of the reviewers, then
it may be accompanied by a note from the program committee. Publication
at IMPACT will not prevent later publication in conferences or journals
of the presented work. However, simultaneous submission to IMPACT and
other workshop, conference, or journal is often prohibited by the policy
of other venues. For instance, a manuscript overlapping significantly
with IMPACT submission cannot be submitted to PLDI 2024 or any other
overlapping SIGPLAN event.

The presentation should take no longer than 25 minutes to present.
Please make sure that at least one of the authors can attend the
workshop if your work is accepted.
