Welcome to HEART 2017

06 - 09 June 2017

Hosted by Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Application-Specific Multi-Core Architectures (MCA) Group

Workshop Date: 06 June 2017

Conference Dates: 07 - 09 June 2017

The HEART symposium is an international forum on state-of-the-art research in high-performance and power-efficient computing using accelerator technologies such as FPGAs, GPGPUs, and/or specialized accelerators. The eighth edition of HEART will take place in Bochum, DE.

The scope of the meeting includes, but is not limited to:

• Architectures and systems:
  • Novel systems/platforms for efficient acceleration based on FPGA, GPU, and other devices
  • Heterogeneous processor architectures and systems for scalable, high-performance, high-reliability, and/or low-power computation
  • Reconfigurable and 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
  • Custom computing system for domain-specific applications such as Big-data, multimedia, bioinformatics, cryptography, and more
  • Novel architectures and device technologies that can be applied to efficient acceleration, including many-core/NoC architectures, 3D-stacking technologies and optical devices
• Software and applications:
  • Novel applications of high-performance computing and Big-data processing with efficientacceleration and custom computing
  • System software, compilers and programming languages for efficient accelerationsystems / platforms, including many-core processors, GPUs, FPGAs and otherreconfigurable /custom processors
  • Run-time techniques for acceleration, including Just-in-Time compilation and dynamicpartial-reconfiguration
  • Performance evaluation and analysis for efficient acceleration
  • High-level synthesis and design methodologies for heterogeneous, reconfigurable and/orcustom processors/systems

Following the FPGA design competition in HEART2016, we are planning another Trax design contest at HEART2017. The regulation of this contest will be announced soon.
