 STMCS: Second Workshop on Software Tools for Multi-Core Systems
        http://www.isi.edu/~mhall/stmcs07/

        March 11, 20007
        San Jose, CA

 in conjunction with IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Code
 Generation and Optimization (CGO)
 http://www.cgo.org/

The drive towards multi-core systems is being led by technology
advances such as increasing chip densities and lower design costs of
replicated functionality as compared to today's increasingly complex
high-end microprocessors.  As multi-core systems are already being
sold and deployed, the goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to
discuss what software tools -- from operating systems and virtual
machines on up to programming models -- must be developed to make
effective use of the computational power of these new architectures.
The format of the workshop will be a half day, with a set of invited
talks, presentations selected from the submissions, and a panel
discussion or posters to complete the schedule.

Topics of interest, including:

* Programming models
* Managing heterogeneity
* Relationship to other parallel computing strategies (embedded and
  high-end)
* Impact on applications
* O/S and Run-time management
* Virtual machines
* Binary translation
* Performance tuning


Important dates:

* Submission deadline (revised!):     January 29, 2007, 11:59PM PDT 
  (Extended!)
* Notification of acceptance:         February 14, 2007
* Final version:                      February 28, 2007
