I'm writing to remind you that the submission deadline for the 4th USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Parallelism (HotPar '12) is approaching. Paper registration (abstract submission) is due Tuesday, January 24, 2012, 11:59 p.m. PST. Full paper submission is due Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 11:59 p.m. PST. There will be no extension of the deadlines.

HotPar '12 will bring together researchers and practitioners doing innovative work in the area of parallel computing. Multicore and multithreaded processors are pervasive, and core counts are increasing. This trend is driven by limits on energy consumption in computer systems and the poor energy performance of increasingly complex uniprocessors. Parallel architectures can potentially mitigate these problems, but larger core counts will be successful only if languages, systems, and applications can take advantage of parallel hardware. Navigating this change will require new parallel programming paradigms, new methods of application design, new structures for system software, and new models of interaction among applications, compilers, operating systems, and hardware.

We request submissions of position papers that propose new directions for research or products in these areas, advocate non-traditional approaches to the problems engendered by parallelism, or potentially generate controversy and discussion.

More information and submission guidelines are available at http://www.usenix.org/hotpar12/cfpb

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Sincerely, Hans-J. Boehm, HP Labs Luis Ceze, University of Washington HotPar Program Co-Chairs hotpar12chairs@usenix.org
