ODES-8 2010 - ODES-8: 8th Workshop on Optimizations for DSP and Embedded Systems 2010

ODES-8: 8th Workshop on Optimizations for DSP and Embedded Systems

http://www.imec.be/odes

April 25, 2010

Toronto, Ontario

in conjunction with IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Code Generation

and Optimization (CGO)

http://www.cgo.org/

Preliminary call for papers

Optimizations are crucial to meet the performance, power and cost

requirements that DSP and embedded systems have. The aim of the ODES

workshop is to give the opportunity to researchers and practitioners

working on this, to share their findings and get feedback. We think

interacting with the community is crucial to do relevant research, and

therefore ODES tries to maximize the interaction by carefully selecting

the program committee members that review the submissions and at the

workshop itself, reserving enough time for discussion.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

+ Algorithmic transformations and code/software optimization

+ Hardware and software optimizations for low-power consumption and/or

code density

+ Coprocessor and hardware accelerators

+ Compiler techniques and code generation and optimization techniques

for algorithms and systems for

* Video compression, pre and post processing

* Medical signal processing

+ Frameworks for profiling and scheduling tasks (multiple/concurrent) on

various hardware resources (single-core + hardware accelerators,

dual-core, system-on-a-chip, etc)

+ Hardware/software trade-offs with ASICs, FPGA's, DSPs, general-purpose

processors, microcontrollers, etc as building blocks

+ Retargetable compilers and reconfigurable architectures

Important dates and deadlines

+ Submission: February 5, 2010

+ Acceptance: March 19, 2010

+ Final version: April 2, 2010

Submission guidelines

To encourage submissions of early work and more mature work, we are

allowing two submission formats:

* Either a full paper, not exceeding 10 pages in length, two-column

formatting preferred.

* Or a set of slides, along with a brief description (1-2 pages) of the

main theme of the talk.

Include the list of authors and their affiliations, addresses, telephone

and fax numbers, email addresses and the name of the corresponding author.

Please send the submission/s by the deadline to: Tom Vander Aa and

Jagadeesh Sankaran via email at vanderaa-AT-imec.be and sankaran-AT-ti.com
