Architectures for Efficient Acceleration

• Novel systems/platforms based on FPGA, CGRA, GPU, TPU, Neuromorphic, Quantum, 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
• Design space exploration
• Performance and power modeling; evaluation and analysis
• Benchmarking of heterogeneous and high-performance systems
• New open-source tools and frameworks for efficient acceleration

Applications and Systems

• Applications benefiting from efficient acceleration (training/inference, DSP, graph, databases, networking, scientific/HPC, real-time/edge, etc.)
• Complete systems demonstrating increased energy efficiency and/or performance
• Comparisons between accelerator technologies, including trade-offs in programmability, efficiency, and scalability

1) Regular Papers

Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions as 12-page papers (not counting references) to be considered regular papers.

2) Work in Progress Papers

Prospective authors are invited to Submit an extended abstract of up to 4 pages (not counting references) about an ongoing research project. If the abstract is accepted, the author will be asked to give an oral presentation. The presentation time may be shorter than that for regular papers.

3) Ph.D. Forum Papers

Ph.D. students working in areas that are relevant to HEART are sollicited to submit an extended abstract of up to 4 pages (not counting references) comprising a summary of their research findings, work in progress, and/or planned research. The Ph.D. forum is intended as a platform for Ph.D. students to interact with peers and experienced researchers.

• The Ph.D. student should be the first author; thesis advisors may be co-authors.
• The technical program committee will review submissions to ensure quality and relevance.
• Accepted contributions must be presented at the conference and will require full registration.
