FHPNC 2022

Due to a low number of submissions FHNPC 2022 is unfortunately cancelled.

The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional High-Performance and Numerical Computing aims to bring together researchers and practitioners exploring or employing the use of functional or declarative programming languages or techniques in scientific computing, and specifically in the domains of high-performance computing and numerical programming.

The purpose of the meeting is to enable sharing of results, experiences, and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative techniques can help make high-performance, distributed/parallel, or numerically-intensive code dealing with computationally challenging problems easier to write, read, maintain, or portable to new architectures. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, relevant compiler technologies, runtime systems (including fault tolerance mechanisms and those supporting distributed or parallel computation), domain-specific languages (embedded or otherwise), type systems, algebraic differentiation, formal methods, and libraries (e.g. for exact or interval arithmetic).

This event, now in its third year, is originally a merger of two workshops that took place during previous editions of ICFP: FHPC (Functional High-Performance Computing) and NPFL (Numerical Programming in Functional Languages), and as such it aims to foster the exchange of ideas between the two communities.

Planned Program

FHPNC will contain three kinds of content:

1. Presentations of peer-reviewed papers that will be published as part of the workshop proceedings.
2. Presentations of extended abstracts that are not part of the proceedings. This means they can be submitted elsewhere later. Such extended abstracts are a good way to get feedback on in-progress work, or the presentation of work ultimately intended for publication elsewhere.
3. A session with updates from research groups in our community about their status, future plans, dreams, or anything of the sort. This is intended to facilitate informal networking, without being connected to any specific research contribution.

Call for Papers

The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional High-Performance and Numerical Computing is a Satellite event of the 26th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2022).

Scope

The ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on Functional High-Performance and Numerical Computing aims to bring together researchers and practitioners exploring or employing the use of functional or declarative programming languages or techniques in scientific computing, and specifically in the domains of high-performance computing and numerical programming.

The purpose of the meeting is to enable sharing of results, experiences, and novel ideas about how high-level, declarative techniques can help make high-performance, distributed/parallel, or numerically-intensive code dealing with computationally challenging problems easier to write, read, maintain, or portable to new hardware architectures. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• relevant compiler technologies
• runtime systems (including fault tolerance mechanisms and those supporting distributed or parallel computation)
• domain-specific languages (embedded or standalone)
• type systems
• formal methods
• software libraries (e.g. for exact or interval arithmetic).

Submission Details

Submissions should fall into one of two categories:

• Regular research papers (up to 12 pages)

  Regular research papers are expected to present novel and interesting research results, and will be included in the formal proceedings.

• Extended abstracts (1 - 2 pages)

  Extended abstracts should report work in progress that the authors would like to present at the workshop; they will be evaluated primarily for relevance and interest. Extended abstracts will be distributed to workshop attendees but will not be published in the formal proceedings. This means they can be submitted elsewhere later. Extended abstracts must be submitted with the label ‘Extended abstract’ clearly in the title.

The bibliography will not be counted against the page limits for either category.

We welcome submissions from PC members (with the exception of the PC Chair(s)), but these submissions will be held to a higher standard.

Submission is handled through the HotCRP site. All submissions should be in portable document format (PDF) and formatted using the ACM SIGPLAN style guidelines. Submissions written with LaTeX are required to use the acmart format and the two-column sigplan subformat (not to be confused with the one-column acmlarge subformat!).

Publication

The proceedings of FHPNC 2022 will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
