HEART 2011 - International Workshop on Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies

The 2nd International Workshop on Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies (HEART) is a forum to present and discuss new research on accelerators and the use of reconfigurable technologies for high-performance and/or power-efficient computation. Submissions are solicited on a wide variety of topics related to the acceleration for high-performance computation, including but not limited to:

• Architectures and systems:
  
  
  
  • Novel systems/platforms for efficient acceleration based on FPGA, GPU, CELL/B.E and other devices
  
  
  • Heterogeneous processors/systems for scalable, high-performance, high-reliability and/or low-power computation
  
  
  • Reconfigurable/configurable hardware and systems including IP-cores, embedded systems, SoCs and cluster/grid/cloud computing systems for scalable, high-performance and/or low-power processing
  
  
  • High-performance custom-computing processors/systems
  
  
  • Novel architectures and device technologies that can be applied to efficient acceleration, including many-core architectures, NoC architectures, 3D-stacking technologies and optical devices
  
  
  
  


• Software and applications:
  
  
  
  • Novel applications for efficient acceleration systems/platforms, and custom computing
  
  
  • Compiler techniques and programming languages for efficient acceleration systems/platforms, including many-core processors, GPUs, FPGAs and other reconfigurable/custom processors
  
  
  • Run-time techniques for acceleration, including Just-in-Time compilation and dynamic partial-reconfiguration
  
  
  • Performance evaluation and analysis for efficient acceleration
  
  
  • High-level synthesis and design methodologies for heterogeneous, reconfigurable and/or custom processors/systems
  
  
  
  

In order to encourage open discussion on future directions, the program committee will provide higher priority for papers that present highly innovative and challenging ideas.
