This contest will be held in conjunction with HEART2012.

Introduction:
FPGA Design Contest 2012 will be in conjunction with International Workshop on Highly Efficient Accelerators and Reconfigurable Technologies (HEART). The FPGA designs and knowledge come to nothing if we have no deep discussion. So the committee decides to follow the ICFPT Design Competition, Connect6, and provide an opportunity to discuss the theme deeply. We appreciate the selfless efforts of these forerunners, especially ICFPT design competition co-chairs and we also thank to the contribution of industrial supporters. We welcome many people to participate in the contest, and participants' re-challenge from ICFPT is also expected. If you would like to submit a paper of your design, please refer to HEART2012 Call For Papers.
