EPIC-1
CALL FOR PAPERS
1st Annual Workshop on Explicitly Parallel Instruction
Computing Architectures and Compiler Technology
Held in conjunction with MICRO-34
Austin, Texas, USA
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: September 28th, 2001
The Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) architecture
model has the potential of achieving unparalleled levels of
performance in future computer systems. The EPIC style of
architecture was developed to enable higher levels of
instruction-level parallelism. By allowing the compiler to express
program parallelism and other relevant information directly to the
processor, EPIC architectures can overcome hardware complexity issues
that limit performance in traditional microprocessors. The major
challenge to realizing the full potential of EPIC architectures is
developing strategic compiler technologies that effectively deploy
explicitly defined hardware mechanisms and deliver performance for
both commercial and scientific applications. This one-day workshop
will focus on promising research concepts that enable the EPIC
architecture model.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of EPIC architectures and compiler technologies or related studies
focusing on the following:
Predicated execution
Compiler-directed control speculation
EPIC performance monitoring unit feedback for dynamic compilation
Tools, compilers, and infrastructure for EPIC architectures
Compiler scheduling and optimization techniques for instruction-level
parallelism
Data and value speculation
Hardware features to support instruction-level parallelism
Compiler controlled memory prefetching and memory hierarchy management
Support for software pipelining
Effects of architectural features on workload behavior
Novel architectures and micro-architectures
Experimental evaluation of Itanium microprocessors
Commercial and scientific workload studies for EPIC models
Power and energy aware computing techniques for EPIC machines
Performance analysis of EPIC architectures
