[Grace-core] Fwd: [Easst-members] Workshop on Domain Specific Languages Design and Implementation (DSLDI)

[Kim Bruce]

Should we make a proposal to talk about our dialects paper here (no proceedings/very informal)?

> Modern hardware is growing more and more complex, often featuring not only
> multiple cores but also heterogeneous components with various types of
> architecturally different accelerators. Consequently, it is increasingly more
> difficult for the programmers to produce high-performance scalable software,
> which is often equally complex, using general-purpose programming languages
> such as Java or C++, as they lack appropriate language-level abstractions.
> Languages designed to support high productivity, such as scripting languages
> exemplified by Python, JavaScript or Perl, make the programmer's task much
> easier. Their performance, however, while certainly adequate for some use
> cases, is not quite on-par with that of the general-purpose programming
> languages. Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) combine the best features of the
> general-purpose programming languages, that is efficiency, and of the
> languages designed for high productivity, that is ease of programming. This
> makes DSLs our best hope for harnessing computational resources available on
> modern architectures without requiring super-human programming skills.
> 
> The goal of the DSLDI workshop is to bring together researchers and
> practitioners interested in sharing ideas on how Domain Specific Languages
> should be designed and implemented and on usage scenarios for modern DSLs. We
> are interested both in discovering how already known domains, such as graph
> processing or machine learning, can be best supported by DSLs but also in
> exploring new domains that could be targeted by DSLs. More generally, we are
> interested in building a community that can drive forward development of
> modern DSLs.
> 
> The workshop will consist of a series of short invited talks whose main goal
> would be to trigger exchange of opinion and discussions on the topics within
> DSLDI's area of interest which include but are not limited to the following:
> 
> - DSL implementation techniques, including compiler-level and
>  runtime-level solutions
> - utilization of domain knowledge for driving optimizations of DSL
>  implementations
> - utilizing DSLs for managing parallelism and hardware heterogeneity
> - DSL performance and scalability studies
> - DSL tools, such as DSL editors and editor plugins, debuggers,
>  refactoring tools, etc.
> - applications of DSLs to existing as well as emerging domains, for
>  example graph processing, image processing, machine learning,
>  analytics, robotics, etc.
> - practitioners reports, for example descriptions of DSL deployment in
>  a real-life production setting
> 
> The workshop will be informal and will not have proceedings of any kind.  We
> have a limited number of presentation slots so we welcome suggestions for
> people to give talks about their experience of using or developing DSLs.  If
> you would like to give a presentation then please contact Adam Welc at
> adam.welc at oracle.com (presentation submission deadline: April 26th, 2013).
