DC 2015 - Design Contest on MEMOCODE

MEMOCODE has a long history of a successful co-design contest section. Even within this design contest, we have seen an evolving trend. Initially the challenge problem started to be implemented as synthesis of co-processors for co-designing a specific computation intensive system. Today, with GPUs, FPGA boards and other flexible hardware add-ons, we often find even software solutions that compete well with the purely co-processor based co-design solutions.
As in previous years, MEMOCODE'15 will include a design contest, which will pose a computational challenge that participants may solve using hardware or software on FPGAs, GPUs, and CPUs. The conference will sponsor at least one prize with a monetary award for the contest winners. Additionally, each team delivering a complete and working solution will be invited to prepare an abstract and present it at the conference, and the winning teams will be invited to contribute a short paper for presentation in the conference program.
