                MMMM: Memory Management for Many- and Multicore

                Monday 23rd April 2012, Imperial College London



Call for participation
----------------------

Memory management remains an important research area as managed run-time
environments are increasingly widely adopted. Server requirements for
multi-gigabyte heaps, the ubiquitous use of multicore platforms and the
advent of many-core processors throw up new research challenges. This
one-day workshop aims to bring together UK academia and industry with =
the
aim of establishing new links and enhancing existing collaboration =
within
the framework of the UK Memory Management Network.

Participation is welcomed from both academic and industrial sectors.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

      * virtual machine implementation
      * garbage collection algorithms
      * performance tuning techniques
      * empirical studies of dynamic behaviour
      * abstractions and models for memory management
      * runtime support for many- and multicore systems
      * transactional memory
      * language designs aimed at many- and multicore systems

As with previous workshops, the day will include a mixture of =
presentations
and time for discussion of ongoing work and future research directions.

Workshop venue
--------------

The MMMM workshop will be held at Imperial College London (room details =
to
follow). We anticipate that the programme will start at 10.00am (with =
coffee
etc available from 9.30am) and finish by 5.30pm.

Registration
------------

The Memory Management for Many-core and Multi-core (MMMM) 2012 workshop =
is
free to attend, thanks to the generous support of the Engineering and
Physical Sciences Research Council. Lunch and light refreshments will be
provided. However, participants must make their own travel and =
accommodation
arrangements.
