ACACES 2015 - Eleventh International Summer School on Advanced Computer Architecture and Compilation for High-Performance and Embedded Systems

Eleventh International Summer School on
Advanced Computer Architecture and Compilation
for High-Performance and Embedded Systems
Fiuggi, Italy
Sunday July 12 - Saturday July 18, 2015
Organized by the HiPEAC Network of Excellence
sponsored by the 7th European framework programme
http://www.hipeac.net/summerschool
The ACACES Summer School is a one week summer school for computer architects
and tool builders working in the field of high performance computer
architecture, compilation and embedded systems. The school aims at the
dissemination of advanced scientific knowledge and the promotion of
international contacts among scientists from academia and industry.
A distinguishing feature of this Summer School is its broad scope ranging
from low level technological issues to advanced compilation techniques. In
the design of modern computer systems one has to be knowledgeable about
architecture as well as about the quality of the code, and how to improve
it. This summer school offers the ideal mix of the two worlds, both at
the entry level and at the most advanced level.
The ACACES Summer School is organized by the HiPEAC Network of Excellence
(http://www.HiPEAC.net), but it is open to everybody. However, previous
training and/or experience in computer science as well as a background in
computer architecture or compilation is indispensable.
The Summer School will take place in Fiuggi, a small town near Rome, Italy.
Students and lecturers will be accommodated in private hotel rooms with
standard hotel accommodation. There will be lots of opportunities for
interaction among the participants, both in and out of the classrooms,
during the meals, at the bar or at the swimming pool, in the fitness room,
in the spa and in the city. Long after-the-lecture discussions are one of
the major assets of this summer school. You will remember this summer
school for a long time.

Certificate
---
All participants will receive a certificate of attendance with a
description of the courses taken. Some universities will accept
this certificate in their PhD program.
Poster Session
---
The poster session on Wednesday afternoon will provide an ideal
opportunity for students to present their own work in progress
and get feedback from senior researchers and fellow students,
and can be the beginning of future collaboration. A booklet with
a 1 to 4 page abstract per poster will be distributed to all
summer school participants.
Admission
---
To stimulate maximum interaction between lecturers and
participants, the steering committee of the Summer School will
limit the attendance to about 200 participants. We aim for a 50/50
balance between PhD students and more senior attendants.
