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
with accelerators. Today, performance acceleration with high
efficiency is highly demanded in various computing domains such
as high-performance computing and data centers.

In HEART 2025, we focus on power, energy and algorithmic efficiency on
the AI technology such as LLM (large-language model) and beyond. We
also focus on technologies related to quantum computing.
