Compilers are programs that convert computer code written in high-level languages intelligible to humans into low-level instructions executable by machines. But there's more than one way to implement a given computation, and modern compilers extensively analyze the code they process, trying to deduce the implementations that will maximize the efficiency of the resulting software. Code...

The increase in the number of processor cores has opened up new opportunities to take advantage of the parallelism available in modern data-centric applications and workloads. On the other hand, parallelizing programs is still an error-prone and challenging task for the typical programmer. MPP 2016 brings together researchers and practitioners interested in developing novel computational...
