In continuation of a successful series of events, a symposium of the Many-core Applications Research Community (MARC) will take place at ONERA research center in Toulouse (France) on July, 19th and 20th. Researchers from different fields will present their current and future work on many-core hardware architectures, their programming models, and the resulting research questions for the upcoming generation of heterogeneous parallel systems.
Both MARC members and interested external organizations are invited to submit unpublished reports. While the Intel Single Chip Cloud Computer (SCC) serves as common research platform for most MARC members, other interesting research on next generation many-core platforms is also relevant for this event. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Operating system support for novel many-core architectures
Virtualization solutions to deal with hardware limitations
Dealing with legacy software on novel many-core architectures
New approaches for leveraging on-die messaging facilities
Traditional and new programming models for novel many-core hardware

This edition of the MARC symposium will give special attention to:

"bare metal programming on many-core"

All authors are invited to submit original and unpublished work as either regular papers (maximum 6 pages) for oral presentation or short papers (maximum 4 pages) for poster presentation. Papers describing work-in-progress are also welcome. Please use the IEEE document templates: Latex, Word.
All accepted and presented submissions will be published on HAL: http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/index.php?langue=en. The copyright remains with the authors. Paper submission is possible through EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=marconera2012.
Registration is opened: http://sites.onera.fr/scc/registration

The best papers will receive an award from Intel.
