******* DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL NOVEMBER 21, 2008 *******

         CALL FOR PAPERS

1st International Workshop on GCC Research Opportunities (GROW'09)

 held in conjunction with the 4th International Conference on High
 Performance and Embedded Architectures and Compilers (HiPEAC'09)
 http://www.hipeac.net/conference/

January 25-28, 2009 Paphos, CYPRUS

Important dates:
 Papers due        : November 7, 2008
 Acceptance notices: December 19, 2008
 Workshop date     : Half day during January 25-28, 2009

Web site:
 http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~phjk/GROW09/

Topics of interest:
 GROW focuses on current challenges in research and development of
 compiler analyses and optimizations based on the free GNU Compiler
 Collection (GCC). The goal of this workshop is to bring together
 people from industry and academia that are interested in conducting
 research based on GCC and enhancing the compiler suite to better
 support embedded and parallel/multicore systems. The workshop will
 promote and disseminate compiler research (recent, ongoing or
 planned) with GCC, as a robust industrial-strength vehicle that
 supports free and collaborative research.

 The topics of the workshop include any issue related to innovative
 compiler analysis and/or optimizations with GCC targeting embedded and
 parallel/multicore systems, including but not limited to:

 * Classical compiler analyses, transformations and optimizations
 * Power-aware analyses and optimizations
 * Language/Compiler/HW cooperation
 * Optimizing compilation tools for parallel/multicore systems
 * Profiling, dynamic analysis, and feedback-directed optimization
 * Case studies and performance evaluations
 * Techniques and tools to improve application and compiler quality


Submission guidelines:
 Submitted papers should use the LNCS format and should be 12 pages
 maximum. Manuscript preparation guidelines can be found at the LNCS
 specification web site: http://www.springeronline.com/lncs
 (go to -> For Authors -> Information for LNCS Authors).

 All papers and abstracts should be submitted in either PDF or
 PS format to the GROW'09 EasyChair online submission website:
 http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=grow09

 Papers will be refereed by the Program Committee and if
 accepted, and if the authors wish, will be made available on
 the workshop web site. Authors of the best papers from the
 workshop may be invited to revise their submission for the
 journal Transactions on HiPEAC, if the work is in sufficiently
 mature form.
