They may present irregular data structures, control flow or communication. Current supercomputing systems are organized around components optimized for data locality and regular computation. Developing irregular applications on them demands a substantial effort, and often leads to poor performance. However, solving these applications efficiently will be a key requirement for future systems.=0AThe solutions needed to address their challenges can only come by considering the problem from all the points of view, from micro to system-architectures, from compilers to languages, from libraries to runtimes, up to rethinking how algorithms operate. Only collaborative efforts among researchers with different profiles, including end users, domain experts, and computer scientists, could lead to significant breakthroughs. This workshop aims at bringing together scientists with all these different backgrounds to discuss, define and design methods and technologies for efficiently supporting irregular applications on current and future machines.
