HotPar '11 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of parallel computing. Multicore and multithreaded processors are the pervasive computing platform of the future. This trend is driven by limits on energy consumption in computer systems and the poor energy performance of conventional microprocessors. Parallel architectures can potentially mitigate these problems, but this new computer architecture will only be successful if languages, systems, and applications can take advantage of parallel hardware. Navigating this change will require new concurrency-friendly programming paradigms, new methods of application design, new structures for system software, and new models of interaction between applications, compilers, operating systems, and hardware. We request submissions of position papers that propose new directions for research of products in these areas, advocate non-traditional approaches to the problems engendered by parallelism, or potentially generate controversy and discussion. Paper registration (abstract submission) due: Sunday, January 16, 2011, 11:59 p.m. PST Paper submissions due: Tuesday, January 25, 2011, 11:59 p.m. PST More information and submission guidelines are available at http://www.usenix.org/hotpar11/cfpa We look forward to receiving your submissions!
