WEHA 2014 - International Workshop on Exploitation of Hardware Accelerators (WEHA 2014)

The importance of hardware accelerators (GPUs, Cell, FPGAs, ...) is increasing rapidly, especially in the computationally demanding disciplines such as realistic 3D computer graphics and high-performance scientific computing. The use of these accelerators for General-Purpose computation achieves speedups of orders of magnitude vs. optimized CPU implementations. They have become powerful, capable, and inexpensive coprocessors useful for a wide variety of computation.
The aim of this workshop is to strongly encourage the exchange of experiences and knowledge in novel solutions exploiting and defining new trends in hardware accelerators, including hardware architecture, software tools, and applications.
The authors of the papers selected for the workshop may be invited to submit extended versions of their manuscripts to be considered for publication in a special issue.
The WEHA Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Novel Accelerator Architectures
Languages and Compilers for Hardware Accelerators
Libraries and Tools to Simplify the Programming of Hardware Accelerators
Manual and Automatic Optimization Techniques
Application Development Experience
Benchmarking of Hardware Accelerators
Modeling and Performance Prediction for Hardware Accelerators
Application-specific Acceleration Hardware/Software
Case Studies
