Deakin University, Faculty of Science and Technology Deakin University. ============================================================================ SPECIAL SESSION ON INSTRUCTION-LEVEL PARALLEL PROCESSING The ICA3PP-97 Conference is directed to bring together developers and researchers from universities, industry and government to advance science and technology in distributed and parallel systems and processing. This special session will focus on architectures and techniques for boosting performance via Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP). Although it is not mandatory to know all the details of the internal architecture to be able to use a pipelined processor, sophisticated compilers and specific code optimization techniques are required to exploit its whole potential. The traditional code optimization at assembly level does not guarantee the internal structure of pipelined processors to be fully exploited, and the determination of the execution time becomes unpredictable without a simulation or a real run. On the other hand also the hardware designer cannot tune the internal architecture of a system without the knowledge on the applications that the processor will be required to run. The traditional assumption of the "instruction set" as the interface between architects and compiler designers is no longer valid. Computer architects and compiler designers must cooperate and investigate possible innovative solutions to exploit parallelism in future high-performance processors. This special session is intended as a place where researchers and developers in both the architectural and software fields can meet and discuss key issues of common interest. Topics of interest include: * ARCHITECTURAL ISSUES: ILP-based architectures, Innovative ILP-based architectures, Design tools for ILP-based systems, Application-specific ILP-based systems for real-time image processing, numerical analysis, physical simulation,... * SOFTWARE ISSUES: Languages and paradigms exploiting ILP, Compilation and code generation techniques for ILP, Code optimization for ILP, Performance analysis and prediction tools for ILP, ILP-based algorithms * OTHER ISSUES: Compiler and architecture co-design, Applications of ILP techniques, Theoretical foundations of ILP PAPER SUBMISSION: Perspective authors should submit 6 copies of an extended summary (at least 5 pages plus figures and tables) or the full paper (not exceeding 20 pages) to: Alberto Broggi Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione Universita` di Parma Viale delle Scienze, I-43100 Parma, Italy Tel.: +39-521-905707, Fax: +39-521-905723 Email: broggi@CE.UniPR.IT WWW: http://www.ce.unipr.it/ica3pp97 Submission should include authors names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone numbers, email addresses, on the cover page.
