GROW workshop focuses on current challenges in research and development of compiler analyses and optimizations based on the free GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The goal of this workshop is to bring together people from industry and academia that are interested in conducting research based on GCC and enhancing this compiler suite for research needs. The workshop will promote and disseminate compiler research (recent, ongoing or planned) with GCC, as a robust industrial-strength vehicle that supports free and collaborative research.

Topics of interest:

Any issue related to innovative compiler analysis, optimizations and run-time adaptation with GCC targeting heterogeneous/reconfigurable/multicore systems, including but not limited to:

• Classical compiler analyses, transformations and optimizations
• Power-aware analyses and optimizations
• Language/Compiler/HW cooperation
• Optimizing compilation tools for heterogeneous/reconfigurable/ multicore systems
• Tools to improve compiler configurability and retargetability
• Profiling, program instrumentation and dynamic analysis
• Iterative and collective feedback-directed optimization
• Case studies and performance evaluations
• Techniques and tools to improve application and compiler quality
• Plugins to enhance research capabilities of GCC

Paper Submission Guidelines:

Submitted papers should be original and not published or submitted for publication elsewhere; papers similar to published or submitted work must include an explicit explanation. Papers should use the LNCS format and should be 12 pages maximum. Manuscript preparation guidelines can be found at the LNCS specification web site (go to -> For Authors -> Information for LNCS Authors). Submission website will be available soon.
Papers will be refereed by the Program Committee and if accepted, and if the authors wish, will be made available on the workshop web site. Authors of the best papers from the workshop may be invited to revise their submission for the journal Transactions on HiPEAC, if the work is in sufficiently mature form.

Important Dates:

Final deadline for submission: November 13, 2009
Decision notification: December 14, 2009
Workshop: Half Day on January 24, 2010
