About The Symposium

The International Symposium on Code Generation and Optimization (CGO) provides a premier venue to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the interface of hardware and software on a wide range of optimization and code generation techniques and related issues. The conferences spans the spectrum from purely static to fully dynamic approaches, including techniques ranging from pure software-based methods to architectural features and support. Original contributions are solicited in areas including but not limited to the following:

• Compilers, back-end code generators, translators, binary optimization tools and runtime environments; static, dynamic, adaptive, or continuous techniques
• New or improved optimization algorithms, including profile-guided and feedback-directed optimization
• Thread extraction and threadlevel speculation, especially for multicore and manycore systems
• Analyses, and optimizations targeting heterogeneous processors and/or GPUs
• Virtualization support for multicore and/or heterogeneous computing
• Phase detection and analysis techniques
• Language features and runtime support for parallelism (including support for transactional semantics, efficient message passing, and dynamic thread creation)
• Program characterization methods targeted at program optimization
• Code transformations to address security, reliability, virtualization, temperature, or energy efficiency
• Architectural support for improved profiling, optimization and code generation
• Experiences with real dynamic optimization and compilation systems on general purpose, embedded system and HPC platforms
• Library and system call support for optimization and code generation
• Solutions that involve crosslayer (HW/OS/VM/SW) design integration
• Efficient profiling and instrumentation techniques
• Memory management, including data distribution, synchronization and garbage collection
• Intermediate representations that enable more powerful or efficient optimization
• Traditional compiler optimizations
