Welcome Message from ePaMus 2013 International Workshop Organizers
2013
The need for increase in computational power has led to the multicore era.Multi-core processors are becoming all pervasive, nowadays the multicore processors are found not only in computers (servers, PCs and laptops) but also in mobile and many other devices.The multi-core systems thus increase the computational power yet achieving this is not straightforward.In order to take advantage of multi-core systems, it is necessary to fully exploit their parallel computing nature.Additionally, as the number of cores that can be packed into a chip is increasing, advanced parallel software approaches are needed to bridge the gap between the potential and real performance of multi-core systems and applications.This workshop aims to bring together researchers and developers from the fields of parallel computing, multi-core systems, and software engineering to contribute and discuss on the latest findings in parallel programming techniques, hardware architectures and parallel software platforms for multi-core systems.Many people were involved in this workshop.We would like to thank all the PC members and authors for their contribution to make this workshop a successful event.We would like to thank CISIS 2013 organizers for giving us the opportunity to organize the workshop in Taichung, Taiwan.We hope that the results of this event will advance the related research in many ways.
