[TYPES/announce] Call for papers: LLVM Student Research Competition (SRC) 2018 (Oct 17-18)

[Nuno Lopes]

CFP for LLVM Student Research Competition 2018 - San Jose, CA, USA
==================================================================

The LLVM Developer's meeting is an annual event that brings together hundreds of LLVM developers and users. While the majority of the audience is from industry, we strongly encourage participation from academia as well.
This year we are hosting a student research competition (SRC), where students are invited to come to the conference to present their work.


How to participate?
------------------
Submit an extended abstract of up to 6 pages to https://hotcrp.llvm.org/usllvm2018/paper/new
To be eligible, you need to be a student by the time of the submission. The majority of the work that the submission refers to must have been done by the contestant.
Each person can only submit one paper, and this can be either already published or new work. The work must be related with LLVM or of relevant related areas.
The students that pass the paper review phase, are then invited to present at the conference.


Why participate?
---------------
This is a great opportunity to present your work to hundreds of compiler developers, gather feedback, and discuss integration of your code in LLVM. It's also a great place to discuss job/internship opportunities in the area of compilers.
There's also an award for the winner of the competition!
