Call for Student Research Competition (SRC)

The ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) offers a unique forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research before a panel of judges and attendees at CGO. Participants must be undergraduates or graduate students pursuing an academic degree at the time of initial submission. Participants must be current student members of the ACM.

To participate in the competition, a student must submit an extended abstract (500 words).

The abstracts will be reviewed by a selection committee and selected abstracts will be invited to present as posters at the conference. SRC poster submissions are, in addition, evaluated by a jury during the poster session at the conference. A group of semi-finalists will be invited to give a short presentation (10 minutes + 5 minutes questions) on the day after. The winner of CGO’s ACM SRC will be selected. ACM will then provide the medal and monetary award to the SRC student winners - $500, $300, $200 respectively for the top three winners in graduate/undergraduate category. First place undergraduate and graduate (Masters or PhD program) student winners will advance to the SRC Grand Finals, details will follow from ACM.

Submissions in the form of an extended abstract are solicited in any topics relevant to the main conference, including:

• Code Generation, Translation, Transformation, and Optimization for performance, energy, virtualization, portability, security, or reliability concerns, and architectural support
• Efficient execution of dynamically typed and higher-level languages Optimization and code generation for emerging programming models, platforms, domain-specific languages
• Dynamic/static, profile-guided, feedback-directed, and machine learning-based optimization
• Static, Dynamic, and Hybrid Analysis for performance, energy, memory locality, throughput or latency, security, reliability, or functional debugging
• Program characterization methods
• Efficient profiling and instrumentation techniques; architectural support
• Novel and efficient tools
• Compiler design, practice, and experience
• Compiler abstraction and intermediate representations
• Vertical integration of language features, representations, optimizations, and runtime support for parallelism
• Solutions that involve cross-layer (HW/OS/VM/SW) design and integration
• Deployed dynamic/static compiler and runtime systems for general-purpose, embedded system and Cloud/HPC platforms
• Parallelism, heterogeneity, and reconfigurable architectures
• Optimizations for heterogeneous or specialized targets, GPUs, SoCs, CGRA
• Compiler-support for vectorization, thread extraction, task scheduling, speculation, transaction, memory management, data distribution, and synchronization

Travel grant application

Here is the Student Travel Grants Application Form. Feel free to apply for the travel grant. However, please be aware that due to budget constraints, we are unable to guarantee funding for your travel expenses.

Submission Information

Submission must be about unpublished work that is not under review anywhere.

Extended abstracts of up to 500 words should be submitted via this link on or before January 12, 2025.

For the abstract, please format your submission using the SIGPLAN format found here. Use one 8.5″x11″ single spaced, double-column page, with 10pt or larger font. Figures are accepted. Include your name and the name of your advisor(s).

All submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee. Notifications will be sent out by February 8, 2025.

Post Acceptance

Those that receive an “acceptance” notification, please prepare a poster of size 23.4″x33.1″ and bring it with you to the conference. You will be in-charge of printing the poster and bringing them to the conference. We will provide you with locations on where to hang it etc., as we get closer to the conference.
