========================================================================

Next-generation architectures and systems being deployed are characterized

by high concurrency, low memory per-core, and multiple levels of hierarchy

and heterogeneity. These characteristics bring out new challenges in energy

efficiency, fault-tolerance, and scalability. It is commonly believed that

software has the biggest share of the responsibility to tackle these

challenges. In other words, this responsibility is delegated to the next

generation programming models and their associated middleware/runtimes.

This workshop focuses on different aspects of programming models such as

task-based parallelism (Charm++, OCR, Habanero, Legion, X10, HPX, etc),

PGAS (OpenSHMEM, UPC, CAF, Chapel, UPC++, etc.), BigData (Hadoop, Spark,

Dask etc), Machine Learning (NVIDIA RAPIDS, Scikit-learn etc.), Deep

Learning (Caffe, Microsoft CNTK, Google TensorFlow, Facebook PyTorch),

directive-based languages (OpenMP, OpenACC) and Hybrid MPI+X, etc. It also

focuses on their associated middleware (unified runtimes, interoperability

for hybrid programming, tight integration of MPI+X, and support for

accelerators/FPGAs) for next-generation systems and architectures.

The ultimate objective of the ESPM2 workshop is to serve as a forum that

brings together researchers from academia and industry working in the areas

of programming models, runtime systems, compilation, and languages, and

application developers.

ESPM2 2021 will be held as a full-day workshop in conjunction with

SuperComputing (SC 2021) in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
