About

The International Symposium on Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies (HEART) is a forum to present and discuss new research on computing systems utilizing acceleration technology. The main theme of HEART is achieving high efficiency through accelerators, tailored hardware architectures and new methods for computing systems, which are of utmost importance across a wide spectrum of systems. This includes high-performance computing and data centers, as well as the mobile and IoT space.

Main Research Track

Following its tradition, HEART 2026 will continue to focus on high efficiency as a cross-cutting issue and seeks contributions for the main research track in, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Architectures for Efficient Acceleration
  • Novel systems/platforms based on FPGA, GPU, and other devices
  • Heterogeneous processor architectures and systems for high-performance and/or low-power
  • Domain-specific architectures
• Design Methods and Tools for Efficient Acceleration
  • Programming paradigms, languages, and frameworks
  • High-level synthesis and compilers
  • Runtime methodologies for heterogeneous systems
  • Performance evaluation and analysis
• Applications and Systems
  • Application examples that benefit from efficient acceleration to a great extent
  • Complete systems demonstrating increased energy efficiency and/or performance
  • Comparisons between accelerator technologies

Venue

HEART 2026 will take place at the European Institute for Neuromorphic Computing (EINC) in Heidelberg. Address: Im Neuenheimer Feld 225a, 69120 Heidelberg. For public transport: leave at bus/tram stop Bunsengymnasium (Bus 31, 37; Tram 21, 24, 25). Google maps works reasonably well or install the VGN app on your phone.
