[Caml-list] HLPP 2010 Call for participation

Fourth International Workshop on
High-level Parallel Programming and Applications (HLPP 2010) 
Baltimore, Maryland, September 25, 2010 
Affiliated to ICFP 2010 
http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2010
Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN

Aims and Scope

As processor and system manufacturers adjust their roadmaps towards
increasing levels of both inter and intra-chip parallelism, so the
urgency of reorienting the mainstream software industry towards these
architectures grows.

At present, popular parallel and distributed programming methodologies
are dominated by low-level techniques such as send/receive message
passing, or equivalently unstructured shared memory mechanisms.

Higher-level, structured approaches offer many possible advantages and
have a key role to play in the scalable exploitation of ubiquitous
parallelism.

This workshop provides a forum for discussion and research about such
high-level approaches to parallel programming.
