Organizers

SPLASH-MARC will be a mini-conference focusing on the overlap between software systems, programming languages, and many-core architectures. Previous symposia in this series have brought together diverse research interests ranging from power consumption to programming language support, from message passing to software-managed coherence, all with a common tie to many-core platforms, such as the Intel® experimental Single-Chip Cloud (SCC) architecture or the Xeon Phi™ product family. This workshop should be of general interest to the substantial segment of the SPLASH community working on various aspects of concurrency throughout the systems software stack.
The format includes a combination of technical sessions, panel discussion, invited speakers, and opportunity for all participants to share multi-core aspects of their current or future work.

Program

The Symposium will take place on Monday, October 28th, 2013, 8:30am-5:00pm in room Regency F of the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
