Hill About August 25th, dozens of names were removed from the SIGARCH mailing list. ACM has not yet told me whether this was an attack or they were removing names of those who had not renewed their SIGARCH membership. For this reason, I will also forward this message to all I can determine were removed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on MULTITHREADED EXECUTION, ARCHITECTURE and COMPILATION (http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~najjar/mteac5.html) to be held in conjunction with the 34th International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO-34) Austin, TX. December 1-5, 2001 (http://www.microarch.org/micro34) MTEAC-5 will be a one-day workshop with published proceedings (Appologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers.) OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE The importance of multithreaded execution to both the high-end and mainstream computing industries is rapidly increasing. The focus of this workshop is on multithreading execution techniques and systems, including architecture design and implementation, compilation techniques, system and language support and performance evaluation. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of special interest include but are not limited to: *speculative multithreading *helper threads *multithreaded embedded systems PAPER SUBMISSIONS Paper submissions and reviews will be done electronically. Authors are requested to submit papers not to exceed eight pages single spaced (including references, figures and tables) in Postscript or PDF. The cover page should include the name of the authors, a brief abstract, a list of 5 keywords and the full address of the corresponding author (including surface mail address, telephone and fax numbers,and email address). Email papers to mteac5@cs.ucr.edu IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: September 24. One week extension is granted without making a special request. No further extensions will be granted. Notification: November 9, 2001 Camera-ready papers due: November 16. PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Antonio Gonzalez (antonio@ac.upc.es) U.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners to encourage collaboration and the exchange of ideas on recent progress and future directions. Contributions are sought on a diversity of hardware and software topics including, but not limited to: * Systems for dynamic compilation, binary translation, and continuous profiling * New and innovative analyses, transformations, and intermediate representations for dynamic and feedback-directed optimization * Architectural and system support for dynamic and feedback-directed optimization * Language extensions for dynamic and adaptive compilation * Novel approaches to dynamic partial evaluation and program specialization * Hardware and software mechanisms for low-cost performance monitoring * Methods for supporting garbage collection, multithreading, and exceptions in dynamic and feedback-directed systems * Techniques for increasing the flow of information between hardware and software * Performance evaluation of dynamic or feedback-directed optimization systems * Experience with real feedback-directed systems and large, complex applications Deadlines: Paper submission: October 12, 2001 Notification of acceptance: November 5, 2001 Final version of papers due: November 23, 2001 Submission: Talks will be accepted on the basis of a short paper that will be published within the workshop proceedings. Complete information on how to submit papers will be provided at the workshop web site (http://www.microarch.org/fddo4). Other questions should be directed to the workshop chairs.

Onufryk, IDT (peter.onufryk@idt.com) Topics: ------- A new distinct class of processors often referred to as network processors, but also called communications processors, or packet processors are emerging. They are fundamentally different from those for general purpose computing. These processors are targeted at communications applications such as routing, protocol analysis, voice and data convergence, firewalls, VPNs, and QoS. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for engineers and scientists from academia and industry to discuss their latest research in the architecture, design, programming, and use of these devices. We are especially interested in attracting new or experimental techniques and approaches. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: Architectures for network, communications, or packet processors Packet classification Search engines Encryption and security Compression QoS Voice processing and packet telephony Software aspects of programming processors for networking Benchmarking and performance analysis Coprocessors such as CAMs and other support devices Interfaces to high speed packet buses and switch fabrics Techniques for accelerating network services Novel applications The workshop will consist of invited talks, paper presentations and a panel session. A proceedings of the workshop will be provided to all attendees and select papers will be published after the workshop. Submissions: ------------ Please submit a one-page abstract in the pdf format for review to haldun@photon.poly.edu.
