Workshop: The Seventh International Workshop on Automatic Performance Tuning (iWAPT 2012)


iWAPT2012 provides opportunities for researchers and practitioners in all fields related to automatic performance tuning to exchange ideas and experiences on algorithms, libraries, and applications tuned for recent computing platforms. This workshop will consist of a few invited speaker presentations, and several presentations of peer-reviewed papers. Main topics of interest are Performance modeling; Adaptive algorithms; Numerical algorithms and libraries; Scientific applications; Parallel and distributed computing; Computing with GPGPU and accelerators; Database management system; Numerical precision and stability; Resource restrictions; Low-power computing; Empirical Compilation; Automatically-tuned Code Generation; Frameworks and theories of automatic tuning and software optimization; Autonomic computing and context-aware computing.
