AACBB 2018 - 1st International Workshop on Accelerator Architecture in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (AACBB-2018)

This workshop will focus on architecture and design of hardware accelerators for computational biology and bioinformatics problems. We plan to present and discuss a variety of acceleration techniques, accelerator architectures and their implications on the development of computational biology.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Impact of bioinformatics and biology applications on computer architecture research
Bioinformatics and computational biology accelerator architecture and design
3D memory-logic stack based accelerators
Automata processing in bioinformatics and computational biology applications
Associative processing in bioinformatics and computational biology applications
Near-data (in-memory) acceleration bioinformatics and computational biology applications
Emerging memory technologies and their impact on bioinformatics and computational biology
Embedded and reconfigurable architectures
Field programmable logic based accelerators
Bioinformatics and computational biology-inspired hardware/software trade-offs
