PMAM 2020
The 11th International Workshop on Programming Models and Applications for Multicores and Manycores
to be held in conjunction with
PPoPP 2020

February 22-26, 2020
San Diego, California, USA

Introduction
Rapid advancements in multicore and chip-level multi-threading technologies open new challenges and make multicore systems a part of the computing landscape. From high-end servers to mobile phones, multicores and manycores are steadily entering every single aspect of the information technology.

However, most programmers are trained in sequential programming, yet most existing parallel programming models are prone to errors such as data race and deadlock. To fully utilize multicore and manycore hardware, parallel programming models that allow easy transition of sequential programs to parallel programs with good performance and enable development of error-free codes are urgently needed.

This workshop is dedicated primarily to gather researchers and practitioners addressing the main challenges and share experiences in the emerging multicore and manycore software engineering and distributed programming paradigm. This workshop aims to provide a discussion forum for people interested in programming environments, models, tools and applications specifically designed for parallel multicore and manycore hardware environments.
