CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd Workshop on Feedback-Directed Optimization (FDO)
Haifa, Israel, November 15, 1999
http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/users/calder/fdo/
Sponsored by ACM SIGMICRO, In Coop with ACM SIGPLAN
In Conjunction with the
32nd Annual International Symposium on Microarchitecture
November 16-18, 1999
Sponsored by ACM SIGMICRO
In Cooperation with ACM SIGPLAN
Important Dates:
Submission: Sep. 27; Acceptance: Oct. 13; Final version: Nov. 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Second Workshop on Feedback-Directed Optimization provides a forum
for a burgeoning field: the use of information collected at runtime to
improve program performance. The hard ISA boundary separating software
and hardware is becoming more permeable as the hardware passes
information up to the software, and the software can both use that
information to direct optimization and specialization, and employ
global analysis and program knowledge to direct the hardware. This
workshop brings together researchers that span the spectrum of
hardware and software techniques to explore tradeoffs concerning when,
where and how feedback information should be leveraged. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
Profile-based static compilation
Adaptive execution, dynamic compilation/translation and continuous
profiling/optimization
Caching feedback-specialized versions of code in hardware
Passing/storing feedback information and optimized code to software
Hints in the ISA to guide execution
Mechanisms for low-cost performance monitoring (e.g., S/W-based event
sampling, H/W performance counters)
Techniques for estimating the benefit of feedback-directed optimization
Experience with real systems
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Guidelines: Talks will be accepted on the basis of a short
paper that describes the work and the novel algorithms or experiences
that resulted from it. Email a ghostviewable PostScript uuencoded
file, (Adobe PDF format is also acceptable) no longer than 10 pages
(including figures, references, and appendix) using 11pt font to
f...@cs.ucsd.edu by September 27th, 1999. Send email if these
requirements are a hardship. At the top of the email submission (in
text) include (1) title of paper, (2) list of authors, (3) email and
phone number of contact author, and (4) a 200 word summary of
paper. In addition, include the contact information on the title page
of the paper. You should receive a confirmation of your submission by
the following week. Final versions of papers will be due November
4. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included
in an informal proceedings that will be distributed at the workshop.
In addition, accepted papers will be made available on the workshop
home page.
Submission Restrictions: Concurrent submission is allowed. For the FDO
workshop, we want to discuss current and new research that has not
already been presented in a prior conference nor sent out in mass
distribution via a journal. Therefore, you are allowed to submit a
paper that is currently submitted for publication elsewhere, but you
should not submit already published papers.

There are 2 sources for student travel grants:
Students may apply for student travel grants from ACM SIGPLAN
Professional Activities Committee (PAC). Fill out and submit the
student application form (http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/PAC/)to
SIGPLAN PAC as soon as you are notified of the acceptance of your
paper. Decisions are usually made within 2 weeks after you submit your
application.
ACM SIGMICRO will also be providing student travel grants, and
you can apply for these grants from the MICRO-32 home page. If you
submit a paper to FDO, fill out the application form
(http://huron.cs.ucdavis.edu/Micro32/micro_stud_tvl_grant.html) by
October 10th. When filling out the application form put Submitted to
FDO: followed by your paper title, in the paper title field. Note that
the notification of acceptance for the workshop is October 13th, so
you will need to apply for the student travel grant before you hear
about the status of your paper. If your paper is accepted, you will
need to register for MICRO-32 ASAP (e.g., by October 14th) in order to
be considered for the student travel grant.
