FCCM 2012 - 2012 IEEE 20th Annual International Symposium on Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCM)

Papers on the traditional topics of FCCM as described below are solicited:
Architectures and Programming Models
? Architectures for high-performance and/or low-power con?gurable computing
? New spatial architectures with immense parallelism but different basic components than FPGAs
? System-level architectures for recon?gurable computing in either real-time or non-real-time systems
? Heterogeneous architectures that integrate a mix of coarse, ?ne, special-purpose, and general-purpose hardware
? Implications and effects of nanotechnology on recon?gurable computing (and vice versa)
Languages and Compilers
? New languages and development environments to describe spatial or heterogeneous applications
? Tools to make run-time recon?guration more accessible to application designers
? Compilation and CAD techniques for recon?gurable computing systems and other spatial computers
Run-Time Systems and Run-Time Recon?guration
? Operating system techniques to manage run-time recon?guration of resources in recon?gurable computing or
spatial computing systems
? Run-time CAD algorithms to support the above techniques or improve fault tolerance/avoidance
? Use of recon?gurability to build evolvable or adaptable computing systems
? Novel uses of run-time recon?guration in application-speci?c systems
Applications
? Applications that use recon?gurability to customize hardware for scienti?c computation, mobile communications, medical image processing, data and communication security, network infrastructure and other embedded
systems. These papers must discuss or show novel use of some particular attribute of the recon?gurable device
used.
? Comparison of application implementations on different spatial hardware, such as GPGPUs, multi-core processors, and FPGAs
