Workshop theme: Heterogeneity and reconfigurability in computer systems are growing. Multi- and manycore-based systems are complemented by coprocessors, accelerators, and reconfigurable units providing huge computational power. However, applications of scientific interest (e.g. in high-performance computing and numerical simulation) are not yet ready to exploit the available high computing potential. Different programming models, non-adjusted interfaces, and bandwidth bottlenecks complicate holistic programming approaches for heterogeneous architectures. In modern microprocessors, hierarchical memory layouts and complex logics obscure predictability of memory transfers or performance estimations.
